I've had odors eminate from the disposal vent/drain, so perhaps a fly infestation could take root in there, the line that goes to the vent that sits atop the sink deck.
I used a rubber hose to blast a generic "scrubbing bubbles"-type foam in the vent all the way down into the disposal, and them passages were left very clean and odor-free. I also use the Scrubbing Bubbles can with a hose to maintain the flow of the shower drain, which occasionally plugs from hair conditioning products I believe. It mimics the "foaming pipe snake" product, and, I believe, even precedes it. The generic product is only 99 cents, although not so effective as the real Scrubbing Bubbles in all honesty.
One more thing about bugs like kitchen moths or weevils, the spider population is very quick to multiply in response and tends to nicely regulate the appearance of the flying vermin as long as the homeowner isn't too easily creeped out. The kitchen spiders are pretty good about staying put right where the problem originates, such as a bag of oats, whole wheatflour, or trail mix.
Here's a picture of the OC, or "original critter". I'm not sure that this is really a termite. When pestered, the bug pokes it's arse at the ground, which apparently has a suction-cup function as the bug can tug it's body rearward using the tail-tip grip, and do so in fairly rapid repetition much as an inchworm travels in the foreward direction.
