Chris,

Very interesting. but putting the whole box in the freezer for two month is not easy. I'm trying to imagine what my wife will say if I'll suggest such idea, probably will find myself outside the house freezing for two month or so :)
Also I was wondering how often do you freeze them? I'm guessing that any intruder pest could raise a new generation within couple of weeks so even if you leave the boxes outside the freezer for few month it still has a potential for catastrophe?

P.S I also heaed that too much naphthalene can cause moist drops on the specimens although I'm not sure the drops I see on mine are caused by it.
