Do Your Taxidermy Mounts Have Bugs?


 We have the answer for you... If your taxidermy mounts have bugs, and you are seeing some signs of damage here is your answer.

First the problem that you have, or may have is insects that destroy the hide, hair, and horns on taxidermy mounts and tanned skins. This problem cannot be ignored or you could lose these pieces completely.

Symptoms to this problem will be hair loss, sawdust like dirt around the horns, hoofs, feet, and on the floor or furniture under your taxidermy mounts. You may even find what looks like little rice crispies on your trophy mounts, these are the shell of the bugs as they shed them to grow.


Reason that the bugs are now more of an issue is tanneries are no longer using arsenic, or anything else with residual protection. Now your mounts have no protection against these hungry and destructive insects. Your taxidermist has no control over them, neither do exterminating companies know what to do with taxidermy mounts and bugs. Every year thousands of trophy mounts are needlessly destroyed by bugs.

We have the Answer there is a solution to this problem with taxidermy mounts and bugs. Our company Trophy DOC, has over 30 years in the taxidermy trade and has been treating trophy mounts since 2000. We treat each mount individually to provide protection to each of your trophy mounts.
Each mount is unique with memories that can’t be replaced. We treat each mount with the respect it deserves and our process is safe when dry to pets and people. Our process does not affect the tanned skin and will kill and protect your taxidermy mount from bugs.
