Folks,

The thread on the African Hunting forum with the bug infested impala mounts got me worried. So I just sprayed the mounts with some Mount Shield. I do this every few months or so.

Smells like it's got some cedar oils in it, so makes my room smell pretty good (after a bit. Kinda intense at first).

I need to order some more as I'm running out. Got me wondering. How effective is this stuff? Am I just atomizing my money for false peace of mind?

Haven`t tried the product or any other similar trophy care products. But I was looking for the same myself. I have just tried to keep the dust away, but I have read stories that scare me. Found this link: Trophy Mount Care
You might know this, but I posted anyway..

Anders,

Thanks for the link! I don't think that I'll be putting pledge on the fur, but the fact the the guy is recomending Mount Sheild is good to hear.

That was what I thought as well.. I don`t think it`s availebel in Norway, so I`ll see if I order some later.
Have you had any problems with bugs earlier..? Haven`t had any, but it seems they might show up any time..
I`m might not answer post for a while. I`ll be on vacation for a week..

I haven't had any problems yet. Other than a few years ago I had a suit that got a couple of moth holes in it. Just don't want to have a problem.

Have a GREAT vacation!
