The best way (especially for long term storage) is to put the rice in
airtight container(s) along with an oxygen absorber packet or 2
(depending on the size of the container).

As others have stated, the insect eggs are most likely already on the
rice. Removing the oxygen will not only increase the amount of time the
rice can be stored, but prevent (or kill) any insect eggs from
developing/hatching.
