Is it possible to put modules in the deepfreezer without damaging them?

hi guys.

i have been drunkenly sleeping somewhere and the person had bedbugs. later i had the bedbugs in my sleepingbag.

fortunatly i left the sleeping bag in my car and did not bring it into my home.

but i used it to cover my 9u rack overnight in the car. so now i am afraid becourse there are 1000s of places the bedbugs could hide in the rack. i am almost sure there are none. but i would love to be safe.

so the easiest solution would be to just put the rack in the deepfreezer at -20 degree celcius for 3 days.

but i am afraid i might damage the modules or psu, which would be real bad, emotionally and financially.

is it possible to cause some damage to the modules with freezing them?

the rack is in a plastic bag now, so moisture would only come from the air inside the bag, which still is enough. so i would have to wait until its fully dry and warm before turning it on afterwards.

and is this also possible for the digitone?

edit: thanks for all the replies. ok i wont freeze it. i dont want to take any risk.

i will take it all apart. also screw my diy wood case apart and have a close look at everything. i might also get an air pressure can from the hardwarestore.

and if i have any doubt i will think about heating it to 55° celcius for a few hours.
