A friend sent me some tail feathers from some pheasants he killed on a recent hunt. The feathers are not in clumps, rather, they are all separate. He sent me quite a few and I wanted to ask a question about storing them.

I have a large plastic container that they will fit in. Would it be safe to store them in this container and then put a piece of flea collar in it? Will that be sufficient to kill the bugs are do I need to put in the whole collar. I really don't want to lose these tails to bugs so any advice is welcome. What is my best course of action?

I know if the clumps were included this would be a no-brainer. I was not sure if the bugs actually dined on the tail feather or solely on the clump.

Thanks,
Greg
