Firewood
On chilly winter nights, those roaring winter fires need fuel, right? Well, even though it might be tempting to stack firewood in your garage for quick access, resist the urge.
Why? Along with that pile of wood come pests that can get into your garage and eventually relocate into your home. So what’s the best way to store firewood?
Stack it on an elevated rack away from the house and cover it with a tarp to keep it dry.
Pet food
If you’re organizing your space, there are a few things you’ll want to avoid storing in your garage. Storing pet food in your garage invites mice that are looking for food into your home.
If you keep your pet food in the garage or even inside your house, be sure it’s inside a tightly sealed metal or plastic container. Rodents can chew through cardboard or paper packaging.
