The coolest it gets in our house is 75 degrees, downstairs where I keep my humidor. It's usually around 80 up in the bedroom although it doesn't really feel that warm. I'd like to keep my humidor upstairs on my desk.

I know 75 is still a little warm for preventing cigar beetles, so, will it make a difference whether I keep it downstairs or upstairs?

Once it get's past 70 degrees, does the gradual increase in temperature indicate a gradual increase of beetle infestation?

Not serious enough to buy a wine cooler so right now I'll take my chances.
