I've got a bug problem. I was cleaning up and organizing in my basement and found some small (1/8" black on the ends and tan in the middle) bugs in some old turkey tails and wings I had been saving.

Fortunately, I can find no other evidence of these critters in any other part of the basement. I've since segregated these tails and wings in a plastic garbage bag inside a large sealed plastic storage container with mothballs hoping to salvage some usable stuff. The feathers don't look bad but some of the quills have nibbles. All the other stuff, particularly the box they were in is out of the house and in the trash. The good news is none of this stuff was in close proximity to any fly tying materials.

What else can or should be done? Do I need to bug bomb the basement? Call in an exterminator? What's the best method for eliminating this apparent pest problem?
