Is it safe to use a bug bomb in a self-storage unit?

Question

I didn’t have any issues with ants in my previous home, but after moving my belongings into a 10×20′ self-storage unit two weeks ago, I’ve discovered that there are now ants all over everything. As I prepare to move into my new home, I want to eliminate the ants before bringing my belongings inside. Is it safe to use an aerosol bug bomb in the self-storage unit?

I would use traps or boric acid and sugar mixture instead. You don&rsquo;t want to have to clean everything in the unit after using a bug bomb.

You will get that stuff all over your belongings, and that stuff is awful.  But if the problem is bad enough, go ahead, but wash anything that can be washed (clothes and such) before bringing them into your house.  And make sure nothing living (like plants or animals) or edible (food of any kind) is in there.

Yup just follow the instructions. Use paper towels and remove or post wash eating utensils or food.

Check with the landlord so you don&rsquo;t have liability for the neighbor&rsquo;s stash. You have no idea what the neighbors have stored.I have had good results with Terro, available at any hardware store. TIP: use *little* drops, not big drops.
