WTF did rats eat my USGI shoulder straps in storage?Wouldn't the fucking Pentagon include some shit to prevent that, for all the taxes I pay?Any spray or shit to prevent it in future?The rats had an excellent selection of bedding material from the rest of my shit, but they only hit the padding and the 2" wide nylon belt end.Did a minor bit of my sweat and skin oil and maybe sunblock turn them on?They got those rat trap boxes everywhere but I guess they don't work or are so old. Should I get some rat poison and mix with peanut butter for my storage unit?No, this isn't what I'd use for long distance ultra light backpacking.

>>2883703seal your storage from rats/mice entering (plugging any holes with boards, metal screen, steel wool, etc)put your items in rodent proof/resistant containers (use plastic/metal containers and keep then off the ground)have kill traps out and regularly check them (use snaptraps baited with peanuts & peanut butter, theres multiple types, but i always go for metal ones because they last forever)there is nothing you can spray on it btw, they don't care about smells or tastes, so sweat means nothing eitheralso, don't go for poison on account of the fact it kills up the foodchain; alongside with the fact they'll crawl in your walls, die, then start to rot and make your house smell
>>2883708It was public storage rented unit in suburbs.They got those box traps but WTF knows how many years between re-baiting them.About only thing up the food chain would be stray cats or roaches.
>>2883726so you're basically storing your possessions in a crack den, and are wondering how rats have infested it?you need to take your shit out of there lmao
>>2883727>suburbs>crack denHow do you get crack den from suburbs?
>>2883732the average storage unit IS a crack dencheaper to rent to live in, even comes with free livestock (the rats)
>>2883704>"brand new">UCP>CIF item off ebay
