Default Re: Beetles help

Question for the experts:

I know freezing kills off the little buggers that have hatched, but does it kill off the eggs that are dormant? I didn't think it did, so hypothetically speaking even if you freeze all incomming shipments you still have the potential for a beetle outbreak if conditions arise, correct?

----------------------------------

To OP, I'd take the extra step and make the phone call to the place you bought them to help raise a flag and see what their policy is on bugs. It can't be the first time it's happened, and you may get a nice little bonus for giving them a heads up.
