How do you store flour, pasta, etc. at home? ？

Today I looked at the flour I had stored and found many small insects walking around the flour bag.
It is a common type of American flour in paper bags.
I kept it in the paper bag in a slide type ziplock because I didn't want the bugs to get into it if I kept it that way.

Did they get in through the gap in the slide or were there eggs in the flour to begin with?
It is a fairly small grayish-beige colored bug that you see in old books and wooden shelves.
They are really creepy.

Pasta is kept in a dark place under the kitchen if unused, but
leftovers are put in the fridge after use.

Maybe it is better to keep the flour in the fridge ？.

I had the same thing happen to me before. I heard that it is better to store in an airtight container in the refrigerator as soon as the package is opened, because the insects can easily make holes in hard paper, plastic, etc., and get in. Even if the package is unopened, it may already contain insects or eggs, so I don't buy any more. I regularly check the kitchen area as it can cause allergies. Spices and other items should also be closed tightly, otherwise insects can enter.

I threw away that flour as soon as I could of course ！
I guess you guys mainly store in the fridge.
It's only been a few years since I moved to Hawaii, so I feel like I've been baptized😅
You have to be careful with spices too. Do you also store tea, coffee, dried wakame seaweed, etc. in the fridge?
