Beetles and Cello?

beetles can and will eat right through cello and bands. My experience is that they only respond to freezing. Luckily they never made it into my humi Any suspicious sticks just sit in a ziploc with a boveda. I was reading about them they also like canvas so, well art museums hate them too.

Cello doesnt slow down a tobacco beetle any more than the wrapper on your cigars. Cello is short for cellulose, a vegetable product. Tobacco beetles also eat paper. Aluminum? I dont think so.

Freezing at the factory will not prevent future infestations it only kills those larvae, eggs or beetles present at the factory.
