Don’t Use Rodent Bait In Storage Units

Using rodent bait in a storage unit can pose risks, such as attracting pests, introducing toxic substances, or creating unpleasant odors if rodents die in inaccessible areas. Here are some safer alternatives to manage rodents in storage units:

1. Use Snap Traps or Enclosed Traps

• Place traps strategically along walls or in corners where rodents tend to travel.
• Check traps regularly and dispose of captured rodents promptly.

2. Seal Entry Points

• Inspect your storage unit for holes or gaps and seal them with steel wool, caulking, or metal mesh.

3. Use Natural Repellents

• Place sachets of peppermint oil, cedar, or cloves in the unit, as rodents dislike these smells.
• Consider using ultrasonic repellents if electricity is available.

4. Store Items Properly

• Use plastic bins with airtight lids instead of cardboard boxes.
• Avoid storing food, pet supplies, or anything that might attract rodents.

5. Keep the Area Clean

• Avoid clutter, as it provides hiding spots for rodents.
• Sweep the unit periodically to remove debris.
