• Most Gold Coast self storage Broadbeach Waters
  facilities do their best to ensure that pests
  won't be a problem for their tenants. However,
  all of their efforts will be in vain if the
  tenants themselves don't know how to act
  responsibly and keep their rented spaces
  organised at all times. Therefore, if you're
  currently renting a unit or are planning to sign
  up for safekeeping services in the future, it's
  best that you know exactly how to keep your
  rented space free from bugs to avoid damage to
  your valuables.

Cockroaches, ants, moths, and silverfishes are
just some of the insects that you usually see in
a messy and unkempt unit. What attract these
insects in a particular place are food, moisture,
and protection from predators. If your self
storage Gold Coast unit offer any of these
"perks," you can bet that these pesky creatures
will make a home for themselves in your rented
space.

To prevent a potential bug infestation in your
unit, make sure you thoroughly clean any item
that is bound for your rented space. Wash clothes
prior to storage and make sure your kitchen
appliances are free from crumbs and bits and
pieces of food. It is also a good idea to inspect
the boxes that you're going to use. Make sure
they are not contaminated with food and insects
to keep your Gold Coast self storage Broadbeach
Waters unit free from bugs.

As much as possible, you should never store
anything that is perishable, specifically food
and plants, in your rented space. Ants and
cockroaches can chew their way through cartons
and packets of food. If you can't help but store
food in your self storage Gold Coast unit, make
sure they are canned or packed in tightly sealed
jars. As for plants, you must never keep them in
your rented unit because aside from the fact that
they won't survive, their leaves, soil, and roots
will attract smaller insects.

As mentioned earlier, insects love places with
lots of moisture. Therefore, you must never store
anything that is wet or damp in your Gold Coast
self storage Broadbeach Waters unit. Not only
this will keep bugs out, it can prevent mould
growth in you rented space as well.

And finally, make sure you visit your Gold Coast
self storage Broadbeach Waters unit every once in
a while. Check the place for any sign of bug
infestation. In case you did see one, make sure
you alert the staff of the facility immediately
so they can help you address the problem.
