Taxidermy Moths

[JHubbard2010]

One of my whitetail mounts is losing its hair dramatically and I'm fairly certain. it is moths laying eggs in the hair. Anyone have any recommendations for something to spray on my other heads to protect them?

I use a Raid bug spray on mine at least once a year. If it is already falling out, you will probably need a new cape.

Lee Lakosky did a video on this exact issue he had. I believe he gave contact information on the Taxidermist that came and treated all his mounts and I believe they sell a product to combat moths.

Hang some cedar planks in your closets if you have any merino clothing or your stuff will end up full of holes as well. They are also very hard on velvet.

Hunting partner is a taxidermist. He gets in tick infested capes and hides. Sprays with Permethrin and leaves in large black contractor bags a few days.
Permethrin is likely the "safest" current insecticide. I would not want some of the other Raid type chemicals in my house.
There is some talk of spraying with vinegar solution. Might be a good non-toxic start.

I opened this thread hoping you were taxiderming moths and I was very disappointed.
