Frans DiepstratenRe: HELP - Dermestid Beetles
The summer issue of the FNAWS magazine Wild Sheep has a two page ad of a company that specializes in that type of work...I don't have it here but I can get a phone number or a website address for you...maybe a friendly phonecall to these guys can give some info...
A man can always inquire just how they would go about if you were to give them the assignment...;-)

ArtsYou have a major problem and you are right to address it now, before it gets worse. In addition to the info you were provided regarding FNAWS, look in any SCI magazine and you will find advertisements of people that specialize in this. I have a good friend that is in the extermination business and he told me that there is nothing that the average guy can get to take care of what needs to be done. You need to contact a specialist, ASAP!

SevensI did send an email out to Millers Trophy Room Preservation, but I get the feeling that the few mounts I have aren't enough for them to consider as a job. I did call a (highly recommended) taxidermist today (mine is out hunting) and he gave me the name of product they use down at his store and showroom called the Fumigator by Raid.
Should I be able to find any traces of these beetles? I can't seem to find any more evidence of them? I do believe it was the skulls that attracted them so I plan to leave them outside. What should I do about my mount that I still have at the shop? Thanks for the help.
