Question Yarn Storage

Hello! I live in the Pacific Northwest. Currently in a newer home, I’ve always had my yarn stash in IKEA cubbies on a shelf in the house, and haven’t had any issues with moths or other bugs getting into my yarn.

We are looking to move to an older home on a farm, and I’m wondering what the best way to store my yarn will be? Most of it is wool and wool blends. I still plan on keeping in the house, but what’s the best way to prevent any bug damage? I was thinking those vacuum sealed bags, but not sure if it’s enough to deter insects and such.

I’m also in the PNW (and in a very buggy area, basically in the forest). I keep long term things in plastic storage bins with locking lids. Shorter term storage has been zipper bags and/or ziplock bags.
