We will provide you with a CLEAN, DRY STORAGE SPACE, however we encourage all our customers to take whatever additional steps they feel necessary to protect their property whilst it is in our facility. Vermin bait is placed in all our storage spaces and at various strategic positions around our facility and the entire complex is sprayed regularly to combat spider, cockroach and insect infestation. Customers should make sure that their children do not handle or swallow any foreign matter found in the complex.
