Freezing Forest Floor

proud corn mommy!
For those of you out there who use forest floor and have encountered wood mites, how long do you freeze the bedding? and does it really kill the mites?
 
overnight usually does fine. I've never encountered them in forest floor, but every bag of reptibark i've ever had contained them. From then on out, i've froze every bag of substrate overnight, and never have had anymore wood mites
 
The wood mites are pretty harmless anyway. They can't infest a snake, so it's more of a personal thing then actually necessary.
 
I know they are harmless to her, I just think they are gross :puke01:
and don't want to think about them crawling all over the place and getting on me when I handle her and change her water or clean out poop.
