    Wrap them in newspaper and you can simply place them in a cold, dry place, like a shed or a garage. They will store until spring when they can be planted. They need cold in order to be able to bloom next year. Make sure to plant them as soon as you possibly can in the spring.

    If your plants have foliage, they can be killed by herbicides. If your bulbs have not yet grown foliage, then herbicides formulated for post emergence use will not usually harm them - though ANY chemical in the garden can leach into the soil.

    The herbicide you have is meant to kill "broad leaved weeds" in your lawn. The active ingredient enters the plant though the leaves. That said, depending on whether the bulbs are actively growing or dormant, you can cover their foliage with something (cardboard, plastic bags, etc.) before you spray to shield them from any contact. Wait until all spray drift is gone before you remove the covers.

    Sounds like your bulbs are crowded and need division. Dig them up and separate them in spring following bloom time or in autumn. Replant in groupings, allowing further room for growth. When replanting, I would give the daffodils fertilizer - information on the type of fertilizer and how to apply it, can be found here:

    Unfertilized daffodil flowers do not produce any seeds. Behind the blossom there is a seed pod that will swell and populate with seeds when pollinated.

    When you deadhead it makes for a healthier bulb which makes for better blooms. I have to agree with the assessment you were given about these being double daffodils. It sort of looks almost carnation-like, like the one in this photo: http://ih3.redbubble.net/image.9819849.9654/flat,800x800,070,f.jpg

    It is best to move daffodils when they are dormant. Wait until their foliage has died back, and then carefully dig them up to relocate them.

    I would move the daffodils. They would be least likely to be damaged or shocked by transplanting.
