Easy to solve if you chill rice for a week, bugs will die. Now you have uncooked rice with bugs in it---cook rice in boiling water---bugs will float to top where they can be skimmed off---stir some more, skim the rest off---eat!

Well, if nothing else, it's an added source of protein.
There's also the dry ice method:

I had this problem, also. Solution: put opened rice boxes in a Ziploc-style one gallon style freezer bags, then shelve as normally. Family Dollar and WAL-MART both sell generic variants of the aforementioned bags. In my experience, these same bags are just as effective as the original variant.
I save pasta sauce jars and put all our rice in them immediately upon opening the bag once home. My wife and I go to H-Mart and pick up a 15-20 lb bag of short grain white rice and short grain brown rice, and from time to time will also pick up basmati. Haven't had a weevil problem in many years once we started doing that. I guess they don't get any air when I only open the jar once then consume that amount of rice within a week or two versus reopening the same tupperware a bunch of times.

Put birds in your rice. Birds eat bugs.
Then put snakes in your rice. Snakes eat birds.
Then put gorillas in your rice, to eat the snakes.
After that you've got rice and a gorilla problem. But no bugs.

I used to eat in a restaurant on the Island of Cozumel off the Yucatán Peninsula that always had a few, large, well cooked ants in the rice served.
You could eat them or set them aside.
No one seemed to think much of it...

Store in an air-tight container.
Wash your rice before cooking it.
