You do not want pests to take up residence within your storage shed. A little work can go a long way in protecting your things while they are in a storage. You want your items safe from pests as they can cause damage to your property. Here are some pest control tips to keep your items in storage safe from pests:

  • Clean and vacuum the storage space thoroughly before moving furniture in. Crumbs, debris and stains can easily attract bugs so make sure you clean sofas and chairs you want to put in your storage space. This is also important to do if you are using a storage facility. It will prevent bug infiltration not only to your own items but also in other units too.
  • You may use mothballs in boxes of clothing. However, you will have to be careful in using them as they can cause stain to clothes. Make sure that when you place the mothballs in places that won't stain the contents. You may use cedar scented blocks and sachets in boxes of clothing or household goods like towels, blankets and sheets. 
  • It is also helpful to use roach and ant baits to put in the corners. This adds extra protection to your items as you don't know what others have stored in their storage sheds Minyama.
  • If you often check your storage unit, you may use mouse and rat baits, or traps with peanut butter. Remember, that these traps need to be looked after to see the catch. Leaving the catch sit on the trap for a long time will cause bad odor when not removed. 
  • There are herbs that you can use to deter pests. Catnip is believed to have scent that repels ants, lavender repels moths and sage repels slugs. Mint is said to be effective in deterring many kinds of pests.
  • If you need to store  food, you can store canned good and securely sealed jars packed to prevent breakage. Do not use boxes and plastic bags to store food as they simply offer no resistance to mice and bugs. It is important to note that storing food in storage units is highly discouraged as it attracts pests.
  • Make sure that storage space has no holes up around the top that will allow birds to get into. A trapped bird in a storage unit can be very messy and unpleasant.
