Storage unit rodent control in Lubbock, TX.

Last reviewed: January 2026

Self-storage hits a problem no other commercial building has: tenants store food, soft goods, and cardboard for months at a time in units that nobody inspects until move-out. By then a colony is usually well-set. Our storage-facility programs run perimeter bait stations along the unit row exterior, set monitoring stations inside climate-controlled buildings, and document each unit at turnover so the next tenant moves into a clean space.

Storage unit rodent control in Lubbock, TX., Lubbock, TX rodent control

Licensed Insured Locally Owned Open 24/7

Storage unit rodent control is a specialized rodent management program for self-storage facilities, climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled, where the combination of infrequently accessed units, stored household goods, and metal-building construction creates rodent conditions requiring a purpose-built exterior bait and interior trap program. In Lubbock, TX, storage facilities are concentrated along the Loop 289 corridor and the major commercial arterials.

Why self-storage facilities are high-risk rodent environments.

Lubbock pressure rises in October, falls in May.

Storage facilities concentrate the conditions rodents need: undisturbed shelter in the form of stored goods (cardboard boxes, upholstered furniture, clothing, and paper), low human traffic that limits natural disturbance, and metal-building construction with gaps at every wall penetration. Norway rats access facilities through dock areas and foundation gaps; house mice access through the gaps around unit door frames and the small penetrations around conduit runs that most storage operators don't inspect. Once established in a unit, the colony can spread to adjacent units through shared wall voids before the tenant ever opens the door.

What storage unit rodent control includes.

One inspection. One plan. One follow-up visit.

Facility assessment: exterior perimeter, drive aisles, dumpster area, and any shared utility spaces assessed before program design.
Exterior bait station network: commercial-grade tamper-resistant stations along the facility perimeter and concentrated at drive aisle entry points and dumpster areas.
Drive-aisle trapping: snap traps or glue boards placed along drive-aisle wall bases in covered positions between units.
Unit-door exclusion: unit door frame gaps and floor-seal condition assessed; recommendations provided for units with significant gaps.
Scheduled service rotation: monthly station service, drive-aisle trap check, and documentation.
Tenant incident documentation: when a tenant reports active colony in a unit, we provide a written service record for the tenant file and management records.

Frequently asked questions.

Are storage facilities required to have pest control programs?

Requirements vary by municipality and facility type. Climate-controlled facilities that store food items or wine collections may face specific requirements. Most commercial property insurance and facility management standards recommend a documented pest control program regardless of regulatory mandate.

How do rodents get into storage units?

The most common entry point is the gap at the bottom of the roll-up door, where the door seal meets the concrete floor. This gap is often 1/4 inch or larger, exactly the right size for a house mouse. Norway rats typically enter through the facility perimeter and then move through drive aisles rather than directly into units.

What happens if a tenant reports active rodent activity in their unit?

We dispatch to the facility for an interior unit inspection and treatment. This is separate from the standard exterior station service. We provide a written service record for both the tenant file and the facility management records.

Do bait stations in a storage facility create risk for tenants?

No. Exterior bait stations are tamper-resistant and positioned along the building perimeter and drive-aisle wall bases in locations where they are not accessible to facility visitors. We do not place bait stations inside individual units.

How often do storage facilities need service visits?

Monthly service is standard for most storage facilities. High-pressure facilities adjacent to fields, agricultural operations, or restaurant-dense areas may benefit from bi-weekly service. We assess and recommend based on the facility's location and activity findings.

Can you treat a unit that a tenant reports has active mice?

Yes. Unit-level treatment is available as an add-on to the facility program. We coordinate access with the facility manager and treat the reported unit and adjacent units simultaneously.

Do you serve storage facilities outside Lubbock?

Yes: facilities in Wolfforth, Slaton, Levelland, and other South Plains towns within our service area. Multi-facility portfolios are quoted on a portfolio basis.
