yes, i would definately wipe it down with some distilled water after taking cigars out and freezing them. just like when you season a new humidor.

also, freezing really won't kill the little buggers - unless you go way sub-zero temps, which most of us can't do in practical applications. but the freezing should knock them into deep hibernation and as long as you keep your humi at the right temp, etc, you'll be fine.

for the op, i'm curious - this was a non-cuban cigar that had the beetle? we usually only hear about this happening in CCs. did you have any CCs in your humidor?
