I've got a persisting problem I could use some help with, if anyone has
experience.

I tend to buy flour in bulk in large paper sacks that would ideally last
me about a year or so, if not more. The problem is that, inevitably and
usually in the summer, moths manage to crawl inside at which point the
whole batch is pretty much unrecoverable. Trying to seal the sack has,
at best, only delayed the inevitable, so I'm wondering, does anyone have
any advice on how to deal with this?

Do you have freezer space? I live in East Texas, and I used to find weevils
in some items. I now freeze all grains (cereals, flour, etc.) for at least
a few days after purchase. That has completely stopped the problem. If it
is something that I plan to keep for an extended period of time, I *keep* it
in the freezer. That also prolongs the freshness of the product. As
someone else suggested, it is likely that you brought eggs home from the
store. The fact that you suddenly find them can simply means that eggs have
hatched. Either way, freezing should solve the problem.
