Re: Should I be worried about beetles?

I have the same one.

Mine was defective from the get-go. Worked once after salt testing, and hasn't worked since.

You will get crazy readings like that when the battery is going dead. At least that's been my experience.

Mine took a spill, the battery fell out and it has been stuck at 180 degrees since. The RH seems to still be correct, which is good enough for a travel humi.

I think that you should be incredibly worried about them and send all your sticks to the first newbie who posts that you should send them to him for inspection and/or destruction. After all, such imaginative and unique suggestions should be rewarded. :tu

Re: Should I be worried about beetles?

I would double check all temp guages if it is accurate the beetles can hatch at over 75 F. That's my understanding.
