Man that picture creeps me out.

With summer around the corner I'm about to start freezing - no way I'll keep my humi temp down below 70 around here.

i just dug through the box with my latest purchase & found the little bastards in the HSG Lanceros...off to the freezer the rest go. Like okieRob, there's no way to keep the temps down below 70.

Afternoon all,

I live in Cancun and like the fellow in Austin, it is really a challenge to keep temps below 75, let alone 70!

In my experience and the little I have read, the beetles are a result of humidity not temperature.

Again, I am by no means an expert but my vinos stay well below 70% but the temps do go above 70 F on a regular basis and have not had a problem.

You will find opinions saying that it is temperature and others saying humidity but in my experience it is humidity not temperature that causes the bettles to come out.
