Pack Pest-Proof
- No food, scented candles, or soil/plants. Vacuum upholstery; seal totes (not grocery bags).
- Door-gap check: daylight = mouse highway — request another unit or door adjustment.
- Cedar + traps (not poison near kids/pets); DampRid reduces mildew that attracts bugs.
Pick a Clean Facility
Mowed edges, sealed trash, bait stations logged, hallway vacuumed. Ask “who does pest control and how often?” Tour facilities with this lens; indoor climate buildings usually fare best.
FAQs
Totes or cardboard?
Sealed totes for anything soft/scented; cardboard ok for hard goods elevated + clean.
Who pays for damage?
You — facilities disclaim contents. Insurance rarely covers vermin; prevention is the policy.
