What steps should I take to prevent pests from damaging my boat while in storage?

Pests can be a significant problem when storing your boat, leading to damage and contamination. To prevent pest infestations, start by thoroughly cleaning your boat before storage. Remove all food and waste, as these attract pests. Vacuum and mop all areas, especially where food was stored or prepared.

Use pest deterrents like mothballs or natural alternatives like peppermint oil in enclosed spaces. However, be mindful of the materials in your boat, as some repellents can cause damage to certain surfaces.

Seal any openings where pests might enter. This includes vents, windows, and any holes or cracks. Use mesh screens or plugs as needed.

For added protection, consider using a boat cover that fits snugly. This keeps pests out and protects against dust and environmental factors.

Regularly inspect your boat during storage, looking for signs of pests like droppings, nests, or damage. Address any infestations immediately to prevent further damage.
