1. I got infested with moths this year - food moths, not clothes moths

I cleaned out every cabinet and kept the vacuum in the kitchen to catch them mid air. i think the eggs were onthe window sills, but I threw out all open pasta and rice and any open container of anything. If it was not sealed or in the fridge, it was gone.
Having been infested with fruit flies once, I just covered all produce, kept the potatoes and onions on the porch and after a day they died out. You can't even leave bananas out, move your plants to another room, they can be a food source. i put mine in the bathroom for a few days and kept the door shut.

good luck.

Oh and vinegar gets rid of bugs that can survive bleach, don't know why, but I use vinegar to get rid of termites that laughed at boiling water and bleach.
