This.

I live in Phoenix. Sure, we have AC, and we keep the house around 81* in the summer. No beetle problems ever. Freezing kills beetles in all stages of development, so unless you introduce unfrozen sticks that happen to be infested with beetles, you're pretty darned safe.

Maybe not 100%, because tobacco beetles will actually eat other substances as well. So, they could conceivably be introduced to the house in a box of corn flakes or something, and find their way to your humidor. But that's a bit of a stretch. Unless you happen to have the luck of Wile E. Coyote, you should be safe freezing everything and ignoring temperatures.
