Tick Problem

How do taxidermist take care of the ticks that are on the gamehead when customers drop them off to be mounted?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Either the freezer for 4 days or bag

and spray insecticed and leave a few hours. I have not had great luck with bagging and spraying, seems many ticks can hide in the skin folds.

quick skin

Just quickly cape it out, roll it into a ball and freeze for at least 3 days. They will all be dead.

Not that quick
