I live in East Texas, and we get *lots* of bugs here. I had a problem with
weevils when I lived in an apartment. I followed all the instructions to
get rid of them -- threw away everything with grains or flour (even sealed
boxes), washed canned goods, etc. That helped, but then I opened a can of
spices one day...and there were weevils. Groan! The thing that helped me
completely eliminate the problem is just what you are suggesting. I started
to store everything like cereal in the refrigerator, and I kept flour in the
freezer. That solved the problem. (Of course, I don't eat any flour since
being diagnosed with diabetes, and that eliminated weevils and also freed up
space in the refrigerator. ;o) )
