[QUOTE="cbdunn21, post: 4449132, member: 9626"] Thanks for the response, but ouch, that's depressing news. I feared that it might be too late but was hoping there was a way to fix. Unfortunately, your comment in the other forum makes it sound like it would be at least as hard and expensive to fix as it was to do the first time... I know the older mounts were tanned and have just assumed all the hides were tanned, though I don't know how to tell so this assumption is pretty worthless. For what it is worth, the age of the mounts does not seem to be a factor in which ones were affected as a mix of old and new have either been affected or not. We can treat each of the mounts one by one to hopefully salvage whatever we can, but it still concerns me about future infestations. Even if they stay away from the mounts, I wonder if the bugs will still be nearby waiting for a new mount or for the treatments to wear off. I also don't know how long either product will last so I guess we will just have to be cautious and treat frequently. I wasn't aware of the threat of these bugs and can't remember ever hearing people complain about them. Is this a common problem for people that I was just unaware of, or did we just have a stroke of bad luck? I would think if this was a common issue that I would have heard other people talking about it. On a positive note, hopefully others can learn from this experience and prevent a similar situation.
