Hi Tom,
Not a bad idea but check first for disease.  With the discovery a few years ago of American Foulbrood resistant to terramycin there could be some cases where terra will not work it these cases destroying infected frames is the only way to go.
 
Blane   from Minnesota where we are dealing with resistant AFB and beekeepers are doing a good job of it.
