If it were me, I would drive it at least once a month. I'd take it out on the highway for about 10 miles. Get everything warmed up good. You want to warm up the oil good, to evaporate all the water vapor out of it. Put some Sta-bil in the gas tank, top it off, and keep it topped off.
Drive it as much as you can.

When I worked as an A&P, I had one customer that owned a cherry Beechcraft Bonanza. He would put those sticky mouse trap trays on either side of the tires to keep vermin from climbing in.
