Because my violin has been sitting in it’s case for more than 15 years, the shop suggested that I clean out my case with a mild insecticide so any remaining bugs (eating the old bow horse-hair) would be gone with. (I’ve changed the old bow) Any suggestions?
I’m afraid you only have a couple real options here, one is rehairing the bow periodically, and the other is getting a new violin case. There’s not much you can do once the little buggers get in there, unfortunately.
Perhaps someone will have a new alternative, but that’s the advice I get from the local pros in my neck of the woods.
An excellent resource for your violin lessons need.
