Kelena, the bugs are already in the flour. Well, their eggs are. I looked into this when we had pantry beetles a few years back in Calif. Apparently grocery stores are notorious breeding grounds. Another yuk!! Thank goodness we put the little pre-buggers in 350-degree ovens! I will be keeping my flour in the fridge from now on! Hadn't thought of rice. Another culprit: dry dog food. I found 'em in a new box of Milk Bones once. Those MB guys don't even put the product in a plastic bag in that box. I always freeze them now. Kills the bugs and doggie likes the cold treats.
