ever had a beetle infestation ???

[mravery]

Glad I found this thread as searches for recent posts in other sites came up dry.

I was wondering if the manufacturing and handling of the tobacco and cigars had changed since the early 2000's as that is where most of the 'beetle' threads date.

Just picked up a large cabinet humi and didn't know if I should start freezing. I keep the humidity fairly low (66rH) but the problem with Florida is that the temperature is tied to the A/C. So it ranges from 71 at night to 81 during the day.

Will those little bastards hatch in the 66rH range with a high temp or would that keep them under control?

Also, does anyone know if the big web retailers have any sort of special handling in their processes to ensure no infestations?

I really didn't want to start freezing (wife has issues with cigars and putting them in the freezer would add to the list ) but if it is still an issue I may have to.
