[QUOTE="ashmore, post: 6667209, member: 16490"] How are you cooling it? We've got pedestals (not particularly fond of them) with a temp differential switch on the fans. Get your corn down to 10deg or lower, bugs hibernate at that, and lower they can not survive. I've got a little area that went hard the other week. It was 25deg. These cold nights mean I've got it down to 5deg, and (gulp) it's sucked out the bugs. Also I agree with putting it through the dryer. I had to do it with some yrs ago, it cooled it down, killed a lot, and I was able to spray it as it came out of the dryer as an extra precaution. I personally don't like fumigation, after getting a firm in to do a building once, I had to replace a roof sheet a few months later, and found bugs between the sheets. I don't think you'll ever get rid of them. Best to get and keep grain below 10deg. [/QUOTE]
