Probably cheapest and simplest method would be to use styrofoam boxes , the type they send brocolli in the the shopping centre or send frozen fish in , new they sell for about $5.00 a box in Australia , they are airtight , a spash of napthalene in the bottom and your insects are safe as , I store my specimens for sale in such boxes and never had a pest in it or mould they are airtight . Wasting all your effort keeping insects in a wardrobe ! You can put layers of pinned insects in on top of each other in these styro boxes , the next styro layer simply sits on top of the pin heads of the specimens below , cheap , simple and ensures your insects will be safe tilll you get some proper cabinets, I also live in a wet humid climate 90%+ humidity most of the year. I know some guys who live in a dry climate and they store their insects in an old refrigirator that doesn`t work , sealed airtight also. Now, there's an idea...

I understand the situation with the freezer. I used to keep my insects in the family freezer but they kept on being removed to make room for food. Eventually I just purchased a small freezer and it has worked out fairly well.
