Living and camping in SoCal, we have no insect issues except maybe ants in some CGs.

However, I traveled all over the world in my sailboat and some of the places were heavily insect infested areas. If you live in insect country ziplock bags aren't good for permanent food storage. Neither is any plastic bags or paper boxes. Insects go right through that stuff and invite their whole family.

If you live in the tropics, never ever bring paper shopping bags or cardboard in your camper (or home). They may have tens of thousands of cockroach eggs in/on them. Wash all fruit and vegies really well before putting them in your camper. You never know what country that stuff comes from.

One time we were in the middle of the Indian Ocean (1000 miles from land) and discovered that we were infested with Weevils. They were in everything that was packed in plastic. We had to throw 100# of rice, 60# of pasta, all sorts of vegies and freeze dried foods in the ocean. They got into everything except canned goods and items in the fridge/freezer. When you're that far from land, it's a weird feeling throwing all that food to the fish.

Thankfully, we always kept a 9 month supply of canned goods on-board.
