I would seal it up and store it in the freezer...right from the beginning
and before the moths show up. I just buy 5lb bags as I need them so no
problem with my small quantity.

Note....as in many grains, the moth eggs might be in the flour when you buy
them, so it's not just a matter of keeping things out. Put in freezer as
soon as you buy it.
