I've done that and despite the fact that the basement room where I store teh slides would get very humid in the summers without it, the dehumidifier keeps the RH down in the 50-55% range throughout the year and I've had very very few problems with mold. These slides are almost all in their original Kodak mounts. If you haven't already done so, you might also onsider digitizing them all now before further problems occur despite more careful storage.
