Bugs are eating my pennants, seeking advice

[bocca001]

For me, also near Houston, the issue has been silverfish. Mostly for those pennants hanging on the wall. No great way to get rid of them. I had a pennant get damaged a few years ago (like Greg said, an early 1960s pennant). They seem to like the spine the best. I check for them compulsively now. A few times per week (yes, that often). I have the pennants on the wall in hard plastic/top loaders. They are tacked to the wall in only two places, at the endpoint and upper corner. No tack on the bottom corner. You can then slide something thin underneath and take a peek (I use a plastic toy sword).

The other options seem to be to store them in something that bugs cannot enter. Or to seal the ends (with tape?). For some reason, I prefer tassels out as opposed to folded behind the pennants, so sealing doesn't work for me. I wish they would make longer/bigger toploaders. If they did, I would seal the end.

And I figured out they were clothes moths after the horror show of the Rams pennant left me unable to sleep. I just kept searching online until I found the likely culprit.

Sorry, Marc, but that’s kind of funny.
