The main cause of rodents are tenants whom store food in their units. Storage of any food is specifically prohibited, however, not everybody follows the rules (we cannot monitor). To help alleviate this problem, El Camino Self Storage hires professional exterminators to install bait boxes around the exterior of our facilities and we utilize stickem traps on the interior hallways. As an accommodation to our tenants, stickem traps / bait is available for the interior of your unit free upon asking. As a follow up, for extra piece of mind you should carry your own insurance.
