Should I get a room dehumidifier and keep the equipment in that room? Use dessicant packs?

One thing I plan on doing is giving everything a "sun bath" 4 times a year so the UV-C in the sunlight kills anything that was thinking of growing.

Thanks!!

I have lived here for almost 11 years. Have two cameras and five lenses. I do not have a dehumidifier, as you air conditioning should take care of this. I have never had a problem with mold or fungus with my camera equipment.
