Don't yet know if this will be practical during the hot summers, but we packed attic stuff in translucent plastic tupperware-type boxes with snap-on lids. I bought a bunch of dessicant packs (silica beads) online and inserted one or more in each box. Figure it's worth a try.

The house/garage is pretty much bug free once the pest guys are scheduled to come regularly. I have found small wasp honeycombs here and there outside, so decided to have no exposed cardboard boxes. Don't know if that is even relevant, but I was taught that way years ago.
