I'm not sure that microwaving them will do anything but make your hackle brittle and your fur dull. I once had a fly that was driving me nuts. It finally landed inside my microwave and being the ever inquisitive scientist I slammed the door shut and tested the theory by cooking the bastar... er experimental subject for about 10 minutes on high. After which I opened the door and he flew right out and continued to drive me nuts for two more days until the old tried and true rolled up newspaper put an end to his reign of terror.

Janet,
the process is: freeze (kills bugs) thaw for some days (eggs hatch) freeze again (kills the freshly hatched bugs)

Would this work with 'questionable' fur and feathers? Freeze them for a while I mean?
I've heard that freezing just gives the moths' eggs a dormancy period, which is part of their natural life cycle anyway. Freezing will kill the adults, but when thawed out the eggs hatch and they're just as vigorous as ever.
