Re: How do you store your tying materials to keep away pests?
I always freeze any natural materials I get for a few days even if it is from a shop. I once bought a cape from a shop and it was infested and since freezing is free I do it. Some of my skins and capes that get little use are left in the freezer. The rest of my stuff gets put in sealed tupperware style boxes and I put a small plastic container with mothballs inside and a few holes drilled in it, inside each box.
I once had an infestation of carpet beetles and never want to go through that again.
