Wow, what a pain. I feel for you.

The cabinet has been emptied, wiped down with bleach, and steam cleaned. Now it's waiting to dry completely. When I get home from work, I'll have to pick through all the cereal, rice, etc., before putting it back.

We went through this exact predicament many years ago. We ended up throwing every box of cereal/food that had been opened.

I was told that if you *really* want to save the food, you can set them against a really hot place (like next to a burning stove) to drive out adult insects, but I suspect this will do nothing to the larvae.

It's best just to throw away everything and start over. Oh, and buy air-tight containers :)
