Well, not in MY skull.
I have a couple of skulls that have been infested with what I have been told are carpet beatles. Some one suggested sealing them in a plastic bag with moth balls.
Any ideas on this and how long they should stay there?
Thanks

Freeze them for a week. The skulls must not be cleaned to well for you to have bugs and if that is the problem they will be back.


sell them on ebay.....

or as Frank said freeze them. Another way is to submerse in hot water. Cold works too but hot is faster.
