Never heard of such things. Wonder if moth balls would help with the feather eaters.

Borax keeps the bugs out the feathers.

They used to make 5” vanes years ago but these modern wheel bows like them itty bitty vanes. As for your bug issues you may consider some kind of bag to cover the feathered part of your arrows and put moth balls in it. Maybe get an arrow case to store them in. The cost of one of those plastic arrow boxes will pay for itself considering the price of decent feathers these days.
