OFFICIAL Hi All, Does anyone have any experience with large scale walk-in Freezers running at around -30°C to -40°C for pest treatments? We are curious to know if the benefits of shorter treatment times, outweighs potential WHS issues, and costs the associated with their design, construction, and operation. It would be great to hear from you, as we are trying to determine if there is enough benefit for us to specify temperatures of below -20C for the construction of a newly built large scale walk-in freezer.
