Default Bugs in the pantry

Okay, I thought I had this taken care of but apparently not

We have these bugs. You know, the ones that are little worm like
things that turn into moths? They like grains and stuff. Well, I don't
know how, but we have them. Bad. Again

Thre first time, we cleaned out the whole pantry, checked everything
(or at least thought we did) and washed the walls with water / bleach.
It was good for a month or 2, and now they are back. We are at our
wit's end now.

Any ideas on how the hell to get rid of these once and for all? I
really can't firebomb them, as much as I'd like to, LOL

Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue. We're not dirty people,
and this makes me feel like we are

Thanks in advance,
Chris



If I buy a bag of grains (mostly rice or pinto beans) that will take
me a long time to use up, I put the bag in the freezer for three days.
That will kill any bugs that are already in there. Then thaw it for
three days and then freeze it again for three days. That way you allow
any eggs (the first freezing won't kill eggs) to hatch and then freeze
and kill the hatch lings before they have time to mature enough to lay
more eggs. Then once I open the bag, I store what's left in an air
tight container.
