See linked URL for a journal article with current (2006) freezing times. The times needed increase dramatically if you can’t get as cold as Tom’s freezer.

The article also recommends storing below 65 degrees F to prevent egg hatching.

Mike – You probably would be fine up there in PA. The way I see it is… I just go through this procedure just incase. It boils down to personal choice. Since I am definately not a professional, I can’t give 100 % data to back my ideas up.
