    I say it's time for a good ol college smoke session. The bugs can get them if they are burnt.

    Default Gaah!

    So I've been keeping a close eye on my little humi since it tends to be a little high in humidity this time of year and I have no way of regulating the temperature in my room (have a radiator which will not turn off for the life of me...), and sure enough, I got bugs. I havn't noticed any holes, but I saw a critter roaming around - being unfamiliar with the fauna here in the UK, I was guessing it could have been a random bug, but thought I would check everything else just to be sure. And there were several - fitting the description of early stage beetles. So, my little humi holds all my ISOMs (including two pre-embargos I was saving for graduation...) and they are now all in the freezer.

    Now here's my question, my little humi is your normal cedar-lined humidor - what should I be using to clean this puppy out?

    Default Damn it!

    They're in my big humi too! half the ones in there are in cellophane and other half not - do you reckon the ones in cellophane will be okay and I can keep out of the freezer? I'm just not sure I have the freezer space for all these cigars...

    Cello does squat to stop beetles - they eat cello. However, they don't eat plastic, so you can isolate cigars/groups of cigars with ziplocks while you process them. Divide and conquer.

    Spanish cedar is not beetle friendly. They shouldn't be able to eat the stuff, lay eggs there, or pupate or whatever. A good vacuuming with the crevice tool is all that is needed (unlike mould).

    Good luck!
