JustKid Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 I've seen them. Not often but maybe once every few years when I buy something-they usually look like they've been dead a long time though and are usually in a crack or crevice.Finally. Somebody. And I thought I was the only lucky one who's seen them quite a few times.
JustKid Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 Yep. Nasty. Nothing but the smell of smoke and some animal hair as the worst for me.I had this LP once, in well used, but still functional case from 58-60 probably. I still have the case, it's been sitting in my backyard opened wide for almost 5 years - heat or cold, rain or snow. Just dust it occasionally. The smell of smoke and old alcohol was so strong, that it still has it today, very faint though. I'm guessing another year of fresh air will not hurt.
proxmax Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 this must not be a hygienic problem. often they are in dried food - so it happened here. i'd bought instant noodles at an asian store and after watering i found those 'lil fuckers. to my luck they hadn't a chance to escape....

Submariner85 Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Well, I just found out that you can copy an image and just paste it directly here. Cool.
diablo175 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Never any bugs (to the naked eye anyway) detected but I lent one of my guitars to a friend whose white long-haired cat decided the case was a cozy little bed. F*ckin' vacuuming out white cat hair for DAYS. Some of that hair's still there to this day.
JustKid Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 Last update - the case is cleaned, vacuumed, hot steamed and clorox'ed. Looks brand new, really, inside out. I was wondering now, how much would it pull if I put it up for sale here? It would probably be very wrong . ( just kiddn')
BTMN Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Cats LOVE guitar cases. When I first read the thread, before I opened it, I though maybe something was wrong with the case I sent the Standard in.

Boomerang~Junkie Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Yuk. This thread got nastier than I could imagine. I've never had crotch crickets or fur bugs or any other critters like that in anything of mine!
