I was in the neighborhood Walmart yesterday. Picked up a package of spaghetti and it had a good number > 6 that I could see of smaller black bugs. At first I thought it was dirt but they were walking around. I took the manager and they went to the shelf and removed every package. I imagine the heat of items during shipping or storing can promote bugs in pasta. After I open flour, sugar, pasta, cereal ... I put the item in a zip lock storage bag. I also wipe down countertops with soapy water. When I first moved down here I found out what a ghost ant is and I never want to see them again. I say them because I don't think there is ever just one. Also I used to store clothes that I did not wear often in the garage but you have to be careful with anything stored in the garage. Those large palmetto bugs burrow in there and you don't want to accidently bring one in the house. I have my garage sprayed for bugs every 4 months but I still find that they get in.
