What are bow bugs?

Bow bugs are dermestid beetles (more commonly known as “carpet beetles” or “skin beetles”) and are frequently not even noticed in a home until they crawl into a cello case and feast upon bow hair or climb into a clarinet case and feast upon the instrument's pads.

How do you stop bow bugs?

Cedar essential oil is a great natural bug repellent so putting a couple of drops of it in your case or putting a small cedar shaving sachet in it can work wonders. You can also spray the inside of the case with a pest repellent safe for cloth like Repel Permanone or Sawyers Permathrin.

What are bow bugs caused by?

When we use the term "bow bugs'', what we're actually referring to are carpet beetle larvae. THEY LOVE TO EAT BOW HAIR. Most bow hair is natural horsehair and that makes excellent food for carpet beetle larvae.

What do you do for bow mites?
