Dermestid beetles can eat through the side of a plastic tote. I opened my newly heated wooden box to find beetle larvae crawling around on the outside of the plastic tote. They bored through the side towards the heat lamp. Now for plan B, I will have to find a metal container to put some in before they're all dead ..read more

There had been no communication whatsoever that it had shipped or when it was going to arrive. Odd in this day and age. No matter, I got the hand truck and wheeled it around back and opened her up.
