Can I store this in the clear plastic storage buckets? I plan on rotating it on a regular basis throughout the year. I just want to keep it as safe as possible from weevils.

Thanks!

if you go to the lds.org website there is a link to provident living that gives great information on storing a variety of items.  Good luck!

I have kept my flour in those buckets for years (and my mom for all her years) and I have yet to ever have a weevil.

If you stick your flour in the freezer for at least 72 hours, it will kill the larvae. 

You must, however, make sure there are no other sources of larvae around when it's being stored, that could once-again contaminate the flour. 

Keeping it in an airtight container should do the trick.
