Freezing food at zero degrees for up to four days will ensure the flour beetles are killed. Prevent these bugs from returning by keeping food in air tight containers on clean shelves and ensuring any spills are quickly cleaned up.

Toss all infected food items. Clean all areas with a vaccum to gather eggs, etc. Worse case, call an exterminator. Then keep your pantry on the cool side, place all flour based products in the frig during the warmer months. Storing infected food in the freezer for 3-4 days will also kill the insects.
