<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> One thing you can do to prevent massive infestations is put all flours in the freezer for a couple of days. This kills any bugs that might be present and keeps them from breeding and spreading. (Yes, I know it doesn't get rid of any bugs that are there to begin with, but if you sift your flour before using it, you should be able to detect any dead intruders.) Even the best of brands/stores/people have bug problems once in a while. Don't let it distress you too much. I remember reading about travellers who routinely tapped their bread or biscuits on the table to knock the weevils out of them before eating it.
