Rodents Are Infesting Many Storage Units Across the Country

- During the height of the pandemic, millions of Americans packed up their belongings and moved away. Many rented storage units, thinking their stuff would be safe. But customers Inside Edition spoke to say unwelcome rodents moved in while they were gone. So just how big of a problem are rats and mice in storage units? To see for ourselves, Inside Edition investigative producers rented units from Public Storage and U-Haul. After several weeks, we returned to see if any pests had moved in.
I've been buying units for years at auctions, I've never had a unit that didnt have mice or rat poop. This is not new
Thank you for saying this and also the storage unit can’t really help it because people rent units and leave food in the for example they will put a few things from there pantry that won’t soul thinking they will get it out quick and it’s too late
Question the Public storage manger said when they take photos for auction( delinquent acct) that they cannot enter only from outside?! Lie because I paid in full and tupperwares turned upside down like a drug raid WTF!!!!
I already have bought storage units at auctions myself. I love to purchase the stolen possessions of people who lost their livelihoods and can't afford to pay their next month's rent then the company seizes their belongings and auctions them. It makes me feel so damn good when I purchase stolen property from the poor people who suffer financially. Opposite of Robinhood. Instead of stealing from the rich to give to the poor. We steal from the poor to make the rich richer.
I Mmmmmm w kno
Just because it has happened before does not make it ok or mean this should be the norm. It is the storage place responsibility to provide a safe, secure and CLEAN place for ppl to store their belongings.
Storage wars is gonna renamed to Rodent Wars.
Dave Hestor: "I'm not intimidated by any buyer, not even rats".
Don't worry guys, It's just Ratatouille's brothers and sisters.
You mean Remy?
Oh look its that person that comments generic like farming things everywhere
It’s even funnier when they call Remy “Ratatouille”.
It's not the company's problem because there is going to be that one idiot who packs food items in one box and thats the reason why it attracts a lot of mouse
I rent units and store food in them. Once the rats show up, I move my food storage to the newest facility in town. I just do this for fun.
"Lets go after the Min wage workers for not wanting to risk their lives getting bit by a rat for $8 an hour."
Lol. This is 🥇.
Who the hell is getting paid $8 an hour in 2021?that has their papers
I get more than that and I’m still in high school. So I really doubt any grown adult is only making that
This has been happening for years not just now. I use to work in a storage facility. When I was 20 I'm 31 now. 🤦♂️ Dang how time Flys by
Dann
yea this isn't news
This has always happened even in really nice storage places it’s not the storage units fault it’s the people who put food in the unit
Exactly. Don’t put food in your unit!!!
Do people not understand that if anything only canned goods can work for food.
How do they get into those metal storage units tho 😯
I didn't put any food in my unit but there's huge cracks to the units next door and a dead rat under my things.
So true..pls no food. Common sense
What was U-Haul going to say. Nope we don't CARE or CLEAN our place.
I use rat traps all the time. I would never be so cruel as to use sticky traps.
I'm glad I moved my things out of PS in 2019, one year before the pandemic. I didn't find any rodents in my unit though, just some dead spiders..
I guess you could say a storage unit is like a apartment complex for a rat😂😂😂😂
Just in time to see Remy make his signature dish, Ratatouille.
If you’re going to use a sticky trap you’re gonna need to go back once a week to check them.
Why? I used to use them in my house before we got a cat they still caught mice after a week
@@Need_A_New_Game they catch them just fine. He means that they're the most inhumane traps because it's a slow death. Literally just starves to death.
@@anavaldivieso8101 well I ain't about to set them free I did that before in the middle of a field and caught the same mouse a few hours later
@@Need_A_New_Game well you could do one of two things...either take it to a vet to handle or put it out of it's misery. Either way, a slow death is definitely not ok.
@@Need_A_New_Game but after getting stuck in one of those sticky traps, there's no releasing it without the right equipment or it'll die anyway. Those traps will straight rip the skin off.
When I moved, I paid extra for plastic totes. Worth it because my basement had a small flood when the water table rose to record high levels.
I get it. I’m totally grossed out BUT do NOT use sticky paper traps…. It’s horrible
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Exactly.
All the money they make why haven’t they called a Exterminator. They make to much money
As a pest control tech and owner, this is unacceptable
I doubt people store food, unless you have people living in them !
No it’s actually very common for people to put non perishable food from their pantry thinking the rats won’t get it
Many many people put nonperishables in these units:
Its a drag living in storage unit. (Working poor) Beats freezing to death.
Use a real trap not a glue tray
DON'T WORRY PEOPLE, IT'S JUST MICKEY AND REMY LOOKING FOR FOOD!
They should keep stray cats around rats and mice naturally avoid places with cats
Have rented two units in different locations and never had problems with rats. Location matters. Also my unit is strict about not storing food, if you get caught you get kicked out.
Rat trap: hell yeah, I ended the movie before it even started
I'm happy I'm not moving
I haven’t been to my storage unit in like a month, omg. I need to come check it…
It's storage. There most likely will be pests and sometimes your stuff gets stolen. This is nothing new. The best thing you can do is sell expensive items and put sentimental things in metal or thick plastic containers.
Theres a way better mouse trap then that. You can easily change to inhumane or humane if you want and it deals with a bucket and can catch rats or mice more efficiently. FYI
Exactly what I said
You do realize no matter what they're going to starve to death. It's a storage unit. No one is going to be visiting their stuff every day
@@micahfreeman6191
Yep, they'll just be gnawing on cardboard..
@@rahsaanthomas7030 I meant no matter what trap lol mb
TBH I wouldn't want them to live afterwards.
They multiple so quickly...
Bring a cat with you!
This isn't news, it's just what happens..
Why was she barefoot?!?
Yeah right! With the low pay and disgruntled workers especially in this pandemic there won't be that much action taken.
Its been this way for decades….
Its impossible to stop it when people store food in their units
I've rented a storage unit now for three years and never had a problem with rats.Dust yes, but not rats.
which company did you use, I am looking for stoagre
Every unit I've ever rented, about 5, they always had a bag of poison inside the locker.
Rats and mice! 😱😱😱
We remember there were massive mice spreading in Australia
I rented an out door storage unit for 6 months that fit my 2 bed room apt, I didn't notice any rodents/rats activity....I believe indoor storage can be more attractive to rats for some reason especially when stacking boxes tightly unit by unit....🐁🐁🐁
0:40 6ix9ine running away from the police.
I had mice go through my unit, did an insurance claim and they paid.
@Estrella I paid for the insurance through the storage facility and I had to do a claim with a 3rd party company pay it out
Storage units should be airtight--in a vacuum.
Bad for Storage Wars, Good for Shawn Woods!
She have big balls, I would never pick a trap up with a mouse on it....
i found 20 or 30 in my U-Haul storage unit dead
I've never had an issue but I don't use boxes, I use sturdy toats to keep my stuff in.
This isn't news LOL. These public storage places have had rat problems for YEARS. About 10 years ago my mom lost a decent amount of stuff from rat feces and chewing. She had insurance and they refused to do anything about it
People putting food in their storage units.😒
That news reporter is soo beautiful, I wouldn't mind waking up to that big hunk of delight every morning. Such a handsome man
That b used a sticky trap
USE HUMANE METHODS they follow humans its not their fault
You're right we should try to use humane methods.
Those Rats looks very stubborn to me!!
I never trusted storage units.
Rhodent Island lmao
Bro imagine finding a bunch of rats in your stuff 💀
IT'S IN NEW YORK WHAT YOU EXPECT.
Yes cause this hasn’t been happening since the creation of storage units
When you bring your boxes home unpack them out side, I brought a box of jars in and started to unpack them to put in tbe dishwasher, had a brown recluse spider, that came out and I smacked it and took my box back outside to finish emptying it.
And Public Storage didn't return our request for comment prior to publication.
I breed jumbo fancy rats inside my storage unit.
she's complaining about rat festation but yet walking around the unit barefooted she has a million dollar face and a 10-cent brain
I can confidently say that this is not a recent issue rodents have infested storage across the country for decades only reason people notice now is because people put more stuff in them during pandemic but they’ve always had a bad rodent problem mostly in part by people putting in food in their units and old buildings and the over all fact that employees can’t just go into a persons unit
It's happening right now and no insurance covers this.
I wonder if it's because ppl move into the units
Orchestrated chaos.
It's true they got into my unit
Public Storage US 1 Ft. Pierce Florida loaded with rodents. Everything was destroyed. Management neglected. If they use pesticide, traps and pellets they probably wouldn't have a problem. This manager was honest enough to tell me that they'll only do something if they see something. $15,000 later... every single thing for the most part was utterly destroyed. They offer $250 while subtracting $100 for a deductible. Steer clear from this company. They're extremely expensive also.
Guess what.
No Brian here
Who comes up with this news?
Since when is this something new
The Japanese have a whole island full of cats.
Yeah I lost a bunch of furniture & cloths in 2 different storages. Sucks I know
People bring them in with their belongings everyday...
It would be a difficult problem to handle unless you inspect everything coming in.
0:14 during the pandemic a lot of people did everything
At this point pandemic means life
And that’s why they say not to store food stuff.
Just get a couple snakes, let them loose to eat the rats, problem solved.
Time to start watching Shawn woods and his mouse trap monday’s
Wait till the roaches move in
That has always been a problem
sanitize every day--- yeah okay
This is what happen when you make warehouse in their house...😂
Why not get cats to protect the units
Why did they store in rod island..
I thought mice were carrying the boxes in the beginning
Ya and bed bugs have been an epidemic for years in the US.
Bed bug outbreak started outside of the US. We never had the problem for decades before. The agent used to keep them away 50 years ago is now banned.
@@goldbars777 well regardless as I said...we do now.
@@adamfrbs9259 Yes. But seems you could use the additional information.
Australian “huh, first time is it? “ 🐁
Check the reviews, people!
your millage may vary
Box your items with double tape...don't take them home with you.
I think this is the fault of the customers who bring things that attract rats and mice. If there weren't things they could eat, then they would probably not be there.
No, this isn't true all the time. We had mice at our storage place years ago. We had to stay at an extended stay hotel for awhile and packed our things in storage. There was absolutely zero food anything in there because we brought it all to the hotel. When we moved into our new place, we discovered there were mice droppings all in our sleeper sofa under the cushions and a dead one inside the vacuum cleaner. Also there was some chewing damage visible to some boxes (no food inside). Basically, they were using our unit for shelter and if that "attracts" them, then we should never offer storage units as an option for families.
Uh, no you don’t. Better ask your lawyers what a class action lawsuit entails.
The problem is that ppl need to stop storing there food in storage units
Question: Can you buy Poison Pellets to scatter on corners of the floor ?
You can buy special spray cans for fumigating a storage locker or attic. Just press the button to activate, leave the can inside and close the door quickly! 😁
Well a rat saved ant a man in endgame so maybe they’re not such a bad thing
Maybe this wouldn’t happen if dumb people would stop storing dry food in the units and stop thinking because it’s in a box it’s ok that’s is the real problem
Don’t forget the bed bugs!!! ☠️
I just got a storage ad too😂
if people wouldn't put food in them
What you mean? This has been happening for years loo
Just cohabitate.
Wow! Imagine a rat being a pest....who knew!
poor rodents
I feel bad.
I honestly has a rodent nightmare last night and woke up scared . Now i see this 🥺🥺. Why 😭😭
I had no issues with my units. Its was just a cheap unit by UHAUL.
