Mounts have bugs!!!
 
What the heck can I treat my mounts with to get rid of bugs. My wife called today and said she saw some little bugs in my moose head mount. ARGH......

Yikes better get them treated, I used to use Moth Balls Gas to threat them inside a special gas room.

If they are not properly fleshed you WILL get bugs. My guess is your taxi didnt flesh good enough and either used DP (Dry Preservative) or tanned it in house incorrectly.

Dermestids (the type of bugs that eat your mounts) are quickly attracted to improperly mounted game, this is true, but when present can and will attack even properly cared for specimens. Call an exterminator immediately, and tell him you are fearful of a dermestid infestation. (carpet beetles) they will likely treat more than just your mounts to rid them.
