My mentor left me bags of comb to clean and melt down and make things with it, as I wish. But there was larvae in it and I don't want to waste the wax, but I can hear things moving inside. I opened one bag and it was full of larvae squirming around.
How do I kill off all the larvae without a deep freezer?
Anything that will displace the air will work. If you have access to dry ice or compressed CO2 that will work. I opened a swarm trap yesterday and it was full of moth and larvae. I closed it back up and poured a little acetone into the entrance and sealed it up. Opened it last night and cleaned it out. Only found one live moth in it.

Same as your post in Gen. Beekeeping.
I put them in my solar wax melter. It both melts the wax and kills the wildlife.

Clean the wax. Kill the bugs. Simple
