Drugstore Beetles

My kitchen has a drugstore beetle problem. We've tried traps, and pulled out all the food and bleached the cupboards, and put all the food in the freezer for a couple of weeks. Any ideas? I can't think of anything else to do.

    I searched this query on Google and there are many articles. You will probably get a bigger and better pool of information trying that as well.

      I've looked on google, was just looking for someone with experience with the darn things.

        Looks like they are pretty darn difficult to get rid of. I personally do not have the problem however my Mom has coped with it a time or two. Since they also like more things than we normally think of (like dry pet foods) you might not have eliminated the source.
        Good luck and I do hope some does have more help and experience for you here.
