Before I repot plants in soil that has been sitting in a bag in the garage or outdoors, I sterilize it and kill any hidden bugs by putting it in the oven at 200 degrees for about an hour. In a pinch, I'll wet soil throughly and microwave covered for a few minutes or until steaming. Cool before use, of course.

Do it outdoors because it makes the house reek!

Done it too! Boy, does the house smell after, like you have added boiling water to dirt!
