Hi', Caddisman, a very wise move. I have never lost a fly to the mites, but once had 'woolly bugs' in an old fly wallet that had leaves made from old woollen blanket material. No flies in the wallet, but the moths got in there and their larvae ate holes in the leaves. It went on the fire!! All my fly tyng material has crumbled moth ball protection, and any material given me, by those who shoot game, is immediately de-bugged by scalding, then dried and packed with a pinch of moth ball.
