Freezing kills some bugs.  I freeze mine and then dry can.  I haven't lost 
any flour or seeds (corn, barley, etc.) to bugs using this method and I 
found one jar in the back of behind that was at least 5 years old.  The jars 
you are talking about will generally sufficient reseal themselves using the 
dry canning method.  I have the one-gallon jars.
