Perfect example of why I freeze.

This is a Festival Mareva, a prized stick for me. Notice the beetle hole. Because I freeze everything upon receipt, I can take comfort in the fact that this happened prior to me receiving the box a few years back. Otherwise, I may be have been looking at more disastrous and expensive situation.

Makes me sad.

Where do people stand on this topic now? I noticed this thread is several years old. Do you still freeze? If so, is it more out of habit now? I'm wondering if the industry has made any improvements the last few years to prevent beetles in their products. I may start freezing myself, if nothing else but for piece of mind.
