Store your flour in one or two gallon ziplock bags in a freezer or
refrigerator. I buy and store 5 lb bags that way and have never had a
problem with the moths or any "crawlies". You could also use large
plastic cereal keepers or metal canisters but every time you take them
out of the fridge you are more likely to get moisture condensing inside
the container.
