Just get some plastic and wrap them in it, they will more than likely be better off in your garage than in your house anyway, less mildew and humidity, as long as they are not in a spot that people will hit them or anything.

Yes. Raise off the floor (set on 2X4s or something), cover with old sheet (plastic traps moisture). Put cedar chips in each drawer (deter bugs) and a quick bug spray in each drawer. All is left is to put something to keep mice out of garage.

I would worry more about moisture damage than worms. Is the garage humid? Changing temperatures can also cause the wood to expand and contract causing splitting. If the garage is not heated, I would not put them there. Please, do not wrap them in plastic. You can drape them with a large piece but if you "seal" them up you will have problems.

I would wrap them in a blanket and then loosely in plastic. The blanket will help to protect them from bumps and scratches and also absorb moisture. You need to have some air circulation so that moisture isn't trapped by the plastic.
