I'm really glad I posted this question here. Despite having done my cleaning frenzy, the one thing I didn't do was pull out the stove and refrigerator -- and I would bet that that's where a lot of the problem has come from. (When I say I cleaned "everything" in my kitchen, that included washing most of the dishes in the cabinets, the wine bottles, the wine rack, etc. I washed everything that was in there, and took apart every small appliance to wash crevices, etc. I was *serious* about getting rid of them.)
So, thank you very much for reminding me of the one thing I hadn't thought of, and the one thing that -- because of the patterns of infestation -- is probably involved.
And special thanks to Larry, because the freezer -- tiny as it is -- is a great idea. I'll see which things I can fit in, because I think that, with the airtight containers everything has been in since the last cleaning frenzy, there are only a few things that actually need to be frozen. Most of what's in the airtight containers is new, and went into those containers as soon as it came home from the store. It *should* be safe, and, if it does have bugs in it, it's contained and can be thrown out and replaced again.
Thanks everyone!
