Default Tape the pitot/static system during storage?

Hi all.

From advice from another soaring pilot, I've been taping my pitot/static inlets with red electrical tape when I store my glider. This is done to keep bugs out during storage.

I started wondering if changes in air pressure could cause the airspeed and/or altimeter and/or vario calibrations to go out of whack.

Seeking knowledgeable opinions on this one.
