Heat Treatment of Sphagnum Moss

Does anyone use long-fibered sphagnum moss in any of their growing mediums?
If so, do you sterilize or pasteurize it before use?  If so, how do you
accomplish this?

 

I have purchased Spagmoss by Besgrow and based on my experience with it, I
am suspicious that it is contaminated with fungus gnat eggs.  So I am
probably going to try to heat treat it before using it in my growing mediums
in the future.

 

Do anyone use a different brand of sphagnum moss that has been heat treated
by the company supplying it?

 

Thanks for any help or suggestions you can give me about this.
