Default RE: How long to kill ticks in freezer?

Actually if you freeze bugs they will indeed die but if they are just chilled or really cold but not frozen they dont move at all so they can conserve energy a kind of hibernation(if you have bought worms or maggots or mealworms for fishing you would notice they are kept in a fridge which helps preserve them in a way and as they get warmer they get the more active they get) which may make them appear to be dead so to kill them i say in a nice frozen freezer 24hrs should be more then enough to kill them off.
