Doors are not the only opening
Vents, drains, floor damage and modifications can create entry points.
Protect openings, contents and the surrounding site
Shipping Container Pest-Proofing for Storage
Reduce pest risk through inspection, storage practices and compatible screening rather than assuming a closed steel box is pest-proof.
Contents attract pests
Food residue, cardboard and nesting materials can make a clean container vulnerable.
Airflow must remain safe
Do not block required ventilation while adding screens or seals.
Inspect the envelope and site
Check door seals, floor edges, vents, penetrations and gaps around repairs. Clear vegetation and harbourage while maintaining drainage.
Store with prevention in mind
Use clean, closed containers for susceptible goods, rotate inventory and inspect regularly. Licensed pest professionals should handle persistent or hazardous infestations.
Buyer checklist
- Inspect seals, vents and penetrations
- Screen openings without blocking airflow
- Remove food residue and nesting material
- Keep vegetation away from the container
- Monitor stored goods and entry points
