If I am fearful of bugs in my animal's bedding, would putting the bag in a deep freezer kill everything?

Question

I was using a clean soil for one of my animals, and saw bugs in it. Could I put the bag in a deep freezer to kill anything that's in it?

Answer 1

freezer works, Ive used it

Answer 2

You can treat the earth as you would a wooden hide/limbs, and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for 1/2 - 1 hr.  Spread it evenly into a large shallow pan.  That will provide your pet with bug free soil, and crunchy snacks!  (Just kidding - couldn't resist).

But, just bake the soil, and voila~!  Insect infestation terminated with prejudice.

I hope this has been helpful.
