BP, You are right about how they get in but freezing the flour for three days kills them. They get 'put to sleep' all right.
wasn't sure about freezing killing them, a lot of bugs just go to sleep when frozen then wake up when the stuff is defrosted. I assumed weevils were the same. don't think i'd like to take the chance, I still think WHOLE grains are the way to go, that's why they call it "the daily grind"!
