What's the best way to prevent CHEW HOLES in feathers

[Bldtrailer]

I've found several chewed      holes in my full length feathers(not old and from two diffrent suppliers)short      way to prevent the HOLES!

I use silicone spray to waterproof my hunting arrows. I have many that are years old. The fletching is good on all of them. Other arrows that I have that are just as old but were not treated as  hunting arrows tend to have the parasite holes in them.

Store them with cedar chips. Mothballs works too but they stink!

Clean your shop!!!  

Just kidding.  Moth balls work great if you don't mind the smell.

I keep my feathers in zip-loc bags.

I put mine in plastic grocery bags and spray in some Raid. No problems so far.

I've heard freezing them helps.  I don't do that with factory feathers that have already been treated, but when a friend gave me some natural feathers he had collected I popped them in a plastic bag in the freezer for a few weeks until I remembered they were in there.

Put them in a container and throw in a fresh sprig of a native conifer (Just don't lay it on the feathers or they will discolor) from the area you hunt     . This also works with wool clothes.
