I'm too paranoid to just microwave it after having phorid flies hatch from one batch, I pour boiling water over it now!

And yes I had an E molt in the moss pit, caught me totally by surprise. My moss pit is a shower caddy that's about 4" deep, and I just fill it with moss. I pour boiling ocean salt water on it, to help keep it from getting moldy and to kill any possible eggs or larvae.
