Silica Gel packs will help.

In your climate drying your eyepieces properly before storing, together with storage in a dry and mould free environment is the best way to prevent mould.

I always leave my EP's, OTA's and camera gear out to thoroughly dry the next day before storing.

A wipe down with white vinegar is a good way to remove the mould from your tripod, try about 4:1 i.e 80% white vinegar 20% water, I wouldn't use vinegar on optics though.
