Answers:
I would like to add that bay leaves have a scent that repel insects!. Place a bay leaf inside every bag of pasta/ cereal and insects won't go in!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I use the actual cereal containers!. They have a lid for the cereal to come out, but it closes tight, so I don't have to worry about bugs!. Other methods would to just put them in a Ziploc!.!.!.that actually zips, or some sort of plastic container!. You could also put it in the refrigerator, if you have room for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Store in sealed plastic container such as Tupperware!.
i believe there are also special bug proof containers too!.!.!. but Tupperware is what we use!. just make sure you close the lid all the way ;)
Hope this helps :)(:
Edit: Regular plastic doesn't work!. (like plastic bags) bugs can eat through that!. that is why it should be sealed, hard plastic!. also!.!. bugs have no problem eating through cardboard poxes so cereal containers are a no go!. it help to know what kind of food gets bugs, such as weevils!. they are attracted to the flour in food!. which is why the go towards cereal and pasta the most!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well after you pour a bowl of cereal, fold the bag up and dont let air in it!. you can purchase clips for the bags to keep them shut and freshWww@FoodAQ@Com
Put it in the refigerator!. Or put it in Topperware (however it's spelled) and store it in the cabinet!. Just to be safe, do both!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
