We’re in Northern Alberta Canada and my hunting partner and I have many mounts, small flying bugs are showing up in both our houses and we only have the mounts in common. What can we do, will RAID work or some other chemical. We have checked on the products that are provided by the Taxidermy Industry and they are sold in quarts and gallons but will only do a few mounts and the expense is prohibitive, so we’re looking for something that will work and not affect our mounts negatively. Any suggestions will be helpful and appreciated. Thank you. Cactus

Did the same taxidermist do your mounts and his?

Yes he did, I’ve had some mounts for over 30 years and never saw any problem till this year and both are seeing a little fly resembling fruit flies. Don’t know what to do about it.

I’m not sure either, being that they are that old. Maybe spray some insect repellent on a rag and wipe them down with it?
