More about
Mount Medix
Mount Medix LLC is a company founded to provide high quality natural products to the taxidermy industry. The Mount Saver™ line is the first line of products made from natural ingredients to treat insect infestation in taxidermy mounts or provide taxidermists to products necessary to construct insect proof mount.
This Mount Saver product line was created by leading natural product development scientists in conjunction with professional taxidermists by adapting an existing extremely potent natural taxidermy insecticide to the needs of the taxidermy industry. These products have been thoroughly tested in the laboratory and have been privately used to treat insect infestation in mounts and trophy rooms for over a decade. The ingredients in the products are also approved for use in the European Union and all products are registered with Safety Data Sheets in the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
The philosophy behind the Mount Saver concept is as simple as it is ingenious: protecting the taxidermy mount against insect attacks through cleaning solutions & eliminating the mount as a food source for insects and their larvae.
About ten years ago Mount Medix LLC started to manufacture products to be used by taxidermy owners through proactive protection and prevention. These Protector and Maintenance products were designed for routine and ease of use by any taxidermy owner
The Mount Saver™
The Mount Saver is a reliable tool to eliminate insect infestation in taxidermy mounts. This product line is now available to professional taxidermists and the taxidermy industry. The products can be legally purchased by the public and applied WITHOUT a pesticide applicators license. As with all Mount Medix products, Mount Saver and Mount Saver Hoof & Horn have been thoroughly tested against moth and dermestids in many types of mounts.
The Mount Saver products come with easy to follow instructions for use and are very effective in eliminating insect infestation in an extremely short period of time. The Mount Saver products are available in a “Ready to Use” and concentrate products. Mount Saver can be simply applied using the provided sprayers in the case of the “Ready to Use” products or with a high quality sprayer provided by the applicator in the case of the concentrated products.
Mount Saver has been proven to eliminate the infesting insects in all stages of the insect’s lifecycle from egg to adult. The infestation treatment products will also clean years of accumulated dust and restore the original natural luster to hair and feathers, as well as, provide a clean pleasant “non chemical” odor on the mounts.
The Mount Saver Product line includes a Glue Additive, Hide Pre-Soak, Powder and ProAd that can be used by taxidermist to create a “bug proof” mount. These products are most applicable to bird and mammal mount creation and construction.
The Mount protector™
Mount Protector is an excellent mount cleaning aid. A misting of this product on a mount will also provide protection from damaging insects along with hair and hide conditioner and moisturizers.
Mount Protector enhances the natural sheen on hair and feathers keeping taxidermy mount looking great.
Fade Protector is a product to stop light damage on mammal and bird taxidermy. Unlike insect damage that is sporadic on its impact to the taxidermy industry, light damage happens to all mounts as they age. Exposure to natural and artificial light will accelerate the damage, but this damage starts when the animal is harvested and accelerates with age. In most case light damage is not reversable so it must be prevented.
Both Mount Protector and Fade Protector are formulated to be used a minimum of once or twice a year. They will not create a buildup of residue on the taxidermy mounts. Both are extremely easy to use, simple mist on the mount and let it dry. If there is excess, wipe with a soft cloth. Very similar to using furniture polish on furniture.
Mount Protector and Fade Protector are available in a wide variety of sizes and have excellent shelf life. The are available in special bundles, in our Mount Keeper Maintenance Kits and as stand-alone products.
Mount Keeper Maintenance Kits contain Mount Protector and Fade Protector along with the Mount Medix Horn and Antler Conditioner and Eye Polish products. A brush, cotton swabs and shammie clothes are provided to aid in product use and application. The kits are the most economical method to purchase our full range of taxidermy maintenance products.
