Cold storage is the best method,otherwise humidity controlled room.Never heard of or seen any bugs eating properly tanned fur here.If just a few pelts hanging at room temp is fine.Do not store in plastic or in a basement(high humidity).

You give the pelt a shake and furnflies every where. LOL Best option is to hang a couple of moth stripes in the room where the fur is displayed. Moth sticks don't bother most people but ones with naphthalene or parachloride (sp ?) can annoy some folks. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.
