Searching for a skull cleaning service.
Looking for a dermestid beetle skull cleaning business. If anyone knows of a reputable company in Alberta (or BC) capable of processing a large volume of skulls, could you please pass on the name. PM me if you'd prefer.

He does the skull cleaning as well. He had a booth at the Red Deer show back in Feb March.

Beetles
Google Dermastid and Alberta. There is a lady around Edmonton somewhere that has them. Nasty Critters.

The ant hill does not do a good enough job to take things in the house after. And you have to deal with other critters on the skull that can damage it or steal it. I have done the ant hill for a few things but not to go in the house after. The beetles are amazing.

Buried a bear skull in an ant hill, years back. Had It taken by a coyote after sitting in the hill for months! No biggie, back of the skull was shot... explains my laziness of not cleaning it myself.
Thanks for the info guys, but still looking for beetle service options!

Great West Taxidermy has been my go to company for skulls. She has recently shut down BUT she will sell you a beetle kit if you want to take a stab at DIY. Just google her company name, the site is still up.

Hey guys, bumping an old thread here. Any other suggestions for beetle skull cleaning services? Preferably around Red Deer or anywhere between Red Deer and Bonnyville.
I'll call twilight bat control tomorrow, their website makes no mention of skull cleaning.
And yes I've googled, AO messages are the top hits, but aside from a query shifty operation in Drayton, the bat control operation which I'll call and great west which someone states has closed there doesn't seem to be many options.
Thanks in advance.

Ponoka and dermestid
I was on the site a few hours ago. But I am on my phone now and linking is beyond me and my phone.
