Actually, depending on how much webbing/cocooning the wax mothes have
created, it could take as long as a week (or more) to freeze them
completely.  We had mothes thoroughly attack some equipment that wasn't
in use (& we'd forgotten about). After 5 days in the freezer there were
still  live wiggling worms in the middle frames.
