    Default Flesh beatles

    Any of you weirdos have beetles? Anybody know a friend that has some?

    I've got a couple of skulls I need to clean up.

    I don't want to boil the meat off.

    less you're in a hurry or just want to watch the bugs work, macerating has been the easiest way i've done skulls.....cover em with water and let the funk do it's thing for about 6 months

    I prefer debulking, low boil in dawn for hours in a dedicated pot and then pressure wash it. Clean in dawn again. Brush H202 on it a few times over a day or so and leave it in the sun where dogs wont get it. I do wrap the bases. Done in a day with most of it passively boiling.

    I know a guy with bugs in Edgefield. He does mine for a $100. Beats me boiling and pressure washing brains all over me.

    Fire ants work just as well. I have some you can borrow, maybe even have.

    Know any chicken farmers? The beetles in the chicken houses do a number on the meat on the skull.
