Silverfox posted a detailed thread here: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post

But the quick answer is 4-6 days in the freezer,. I like 6, it gives me some safety to make up for the fact that residential freezers don't keep a constant low temp, they cycle. Better to be safe than sorry later. After that, if you want to put them in the refrigerator for a day, go ahead, it won't hurt them, but it really isn't necessary. They have so little mass and water in them compared to what is normally found in freezers, that they thaw very quickly.

Best to freeze everything as it's hard to say what might still be harboring unhatched eggs.
