throw everything away and clean all out

First, do as cookie09 says. Clean out your cabinets with a weak bleach solution (1/10 or 1/20 with water).
- Have dehumidifying tubs (find in the grocery store) in every cabinet.
- Always use hard plastic or glass hermetic containers (ziploc is not good enough) for pasta, flour, sugar, cereal and so forth. Good ones are the "Incense" brand stuff from Japan Home or "Lock n Lock" which some grocery stores sell.

Yes, its definitely the Evil Weevil. Throw out old stuff where they may have laid eggs (rice, etc), containerise everything like that, and then wash surfaces with a mild bleech. Then no more evil weevil.

I'd go down the wichety grub if I were you and get that extra protein. That'll teach'em. Ha, ha, ha!
