I had written a few months ago about cross stacking supers in rooms that 
have some light. It seemed to me that I detected a note of incredulity in 
one of your responses(I may have remembered wrong-it "seemed" that way)
Anyhow, I have purposely left a stack of Illnois supers stacked undisturbed 
through last year to this moment-some with really really  black comb.
I  wanted to nail this issue down beyond a shadow of a doubt because i think 
it is such a better way of doing things(I am not tooting my own horn at 
present-I didnt come up with this method of storage)
There is not tthe slightest evidence of any wax moth damage in any of them.
Now i have found hives in the field this year that were just eaten up with 
wax moths.
As was mentioned by another, it may be  good idea to provide poison for rats 
etc or screen them off somehow. The supers themselves require no crystals 
etc.
Best Wishes
