moths in garlic

My garlic has been curing in the barn for several weeks and today I trimmed and bagged it. The dried foliage was full of what look like pantry moths. We have been having a problem with pantry moths in the house and I'm worried that if I bring the garlic inside it will 1) get infested/destroyed by the moths and 2) make the moth problem worse in the house.

Does anyone know if pantry-type moths will infest garlic bulbs (worms feed on the fresh garlic)?

If so I'm tempted to freeze the bulbs for storage but read that it ruins the flavor.
