In a month, temps will be cooler and so we need to remind you about pest control inside your storage unit. We recommend the bait packages that kill mice. Even if you are careful to only store items that are clean and have no scent, you might have a neighbor storing a scented candle, shampoo or a food item.
For those that prefer a more natural approach, read the following:
Help Protect Your Stored Belongings from Mice
Mice can become a problem, especially during the fall and cooler months when they look for warm places to shelter. While no method can guarantee that mice will stay away, some people choose to use plant-based scent repellents as an additional way to help discourage them.
A combination of the following essential oils is commonly used:
* Peppermint Oil
* Clove Oil
* Lemongrass Oil
* Rosemary Oil
These strong scents may help create an environment that is unpleasant to mice and encourage them to stay away from your stored belongings.
Important: Keep your storage unit clean and free of food, pet food, birdseed, candy, or other items that may attract rodents. Store belongings in sealed plastic containers whenever possible and check your unit regularly.
Please note: Pest prevention and protection of personal belongings are the responsibility of the tenant. These suggestions are provided as a helpful precaution.
