Does the contractor know something we don't know?

When we moved here much of our good china and glassware was packed in newspaper and cardboard moving boxes. We stored them in the garage and forgot about them - didn't realize that china and good crystal does not get much use here ------- couple of years later we noticed an abundance of those good sized bugs in the garage - yes we had Palmetto bugs which is another name for the American cockroach. Then we found out they absolutely love cardboard. When we emptied the boxes they were alive with bugs. So no more cardboard or paper anywhere, and the china and crystal went too - the kids love it - we should have just left it behind.
