Found a piece of loose fur on my fox mount, help 🥲 he's been put in the freezer but what is this??

  • Bugs… probably moth larvae. Get that out of the house and clean all your taxidermy. Good luck!

    I've been told to put it in the freezer for about 2 weeks. Luckily all my other things are fine 🙏🏻 though this was stored away as it was purchased a while ago and only given to me for Christmas

    They will come back. I’ve dealt with a lot of this cleaning trophy rooms. It’s very hard to get rid of. Get a high grade bug killer you can spray on them. To help prevention.

    Any recommendations? I'm in the UK If that helps

    Dont know if you can buy this, but ardap is very good

    Unfortunately I don’t know what you can and can’t import there. I use Onslaught insecticide for basic treatments. And permethrin for the heavy bug situations.

    I was given a taxidermy giraffe toy thing, it was infested with clothing moths. I had it for 30 minutes and it took 3 years to completely kill all the moths.
