The UWYMV is like Andy and KSU, our dermestid colonies are in a completely separate building. I would also add that we freezer anything that goes into the colonies as well. That way if something did crawl in or establish itself while it was drying, we do not
introduce it into the colonies.</div>

So freezing before it goes in, and freezing after it comes out.</div>
