Avoid Pest Infestation with Milwaukee Secure Storage

June 25, 2012 - PRLog -- While self storage facilities emphasize security, pests are one security risk that can be hard to detect and harder to control. Pests such as rodents and insects find the rarely disturbed environment of storage units attractive and can easily enter an outdoor storage unit via a crack or hole. Milwaukee secure storage in an enclosed storage facility significantly reduces the risk of pests gaining access to and destroying your valuables.

Pests may just be seeking shelter from elements, but making a home in your valuables is an unacceptable alternative, one that will surely result in damages. Rodents and mice will eat anything from clothing, to cardboard, to furniture, to cabling and even types of wiring and metal. Insects such as cockroaches can actually carry human pathogens, spreading germs throughout your unit as they travel.

While Milwaukee secure storage can prevent pests from damaging your belongings, additional steps can be taken:

•   No Food: Food of any kind, even crumbs, will attract animals and insects.
•   Clean Appliances: Residual scents or food may be on appliances, clean everything thoroughly before storing.
•   Check Boxes: Before transferring items from your garage to a storage unit, check that no pests are already living among your possessions.

Armour Self Storage works to prevent pests from disturbing your belongings by having monthly pest treatments around the facility by a certified exterminator. Additionally, regular inspections of your facility are conducted, ensuring our onsite managers discover, address and fix any issue.
