    Hi Linda - Heat them in your oven at lowest setting about 170 degrees to kill any insect eggsfor about 15 minutes or soak in a weak peroxide solution for an hour and air dry.

    Hi Linda,

    Yes very low heat in your oven, on a foil lined cookie sheet so no remaining sap gets on your oven floor. Plus your kitchen will smell so nice with the pine scent.
