I live in NW Fla...use ONE silicon gun sock...on an oiled and regularly cared-for rifle...it gets checked at least monthly...
really only use it to keep other guns from marking it if something bounces wrong in the safe...
The rest in that safe are open-air with a GoldenRod "Gun Saver" dehumidifier...

I still toss a new packet of silicon beads in on a regular basis...as I get 'em from work every week in our shipments...
we unbox new TV's and toss the packs, so I keep a couple for home use...
they die after a month or two, you reset 'em by nuking inna microwave to steam the water out..
or just toss 'em...and stick in new ones...
