Thorough brushing will help to dislodge eggs. The best way to ensure items are not contaminated before being bagged-up, put them in the deep-freezer for at least 48 hours.
That will kill any insects, larvae or eggs.
As for sealing things up in garment bags etc, that is fine as long as there are not eggs on them already - not always a safe assumption. My wife sealed up a bunch of sweaters once and when she opened them up next season, moths literally flew out, and had eaten through several over the summer.
