No one has replied so I will give this our experience. The wheat you get cleaned needs 100 phostoxin "tablets" per thousand bushel when you dump it back into the bin. If not dumping then treat the truck and tarp, however if you are planting soon then nothing may need to be done. The elevator guys tell us to empty the bin and treat as you go into another bin with the 100 per thousand. The bugs can stand lots of cold but will go dormant after the grain temp goes below 50 degrees however as the grain warms in the Spring they will be ready to resume their destruction. We use no other insecticides because they are not consistently good at giving long enough control.
