Taxidermy Pest Control & Cleaning: How to Protect Your Taxidermy from Carpet Beetles, Moths, and Other Pests

For hunters, lodges, collectors, and museums, taxidermy mounts are more than displays — they’re valuable investments and irreplaceable memories. Unfortunately, pests like carpet beetles, moths, and rodents see these mounts as food sources. Left untreated, an infestation can cause severe and sometimes permanent damage. That’s why professional taxidermy pest control and cleaning are critical for protecting your collection.

The Hidden Dangers to Your Collection

Many people assume taxidermy mounts will last indefinitely, but in reality they are highly vulnerable to pest damage. Carpet beetles are among the most destructive, feeding on natural fibers, hair, and feathers. Moths can cause similar destruction, chewing silently through prized trophies. Even rodents and small insects can find their way into trophy rooms or museum displays.

The challenge is that infestations often go unnoticed until the damage is significant. Bare patches of fur, loose feathers, or hollowed-out areas may be the first visible signs — but by then, pests have already spread. Without intervention, mounts can lose their natural appearance and long-term value.

Professional Taxidermy Cleaning & Pest Protection

DIY cleaning is rarely effective against these types of pests. In fact, improper cleaning can cause more harm than good. Pro Pest offers specialized taxidermy cleaning services nationwide, using museum-quality techniques developed over 30 years of experience.

Our process includes:

• Assessment & Inspection – Identifying hidden signs of carpet beetles, moths, or other pests.

• Professional Cleaning – Carefully restoring mounts without damage.

• Pest Treatment – Targeted solutions to eliminate existing infestations.

• Preventive Protection – Long-term exclusion and monitoring methods that safeguard mounts for the future.

This combination of cleaning and taxidermy pest control ensures that mounts aren’t just repaired — they’re protected.
