Weed Control Goes Green

During every part of the calendar year, it is important for self storage facilities to keep up their appearance. Many customers will know about (and choose) your facility because they drive by it often. If you have weeds everywhere in the summer, or snow piled up next to the doors in the winter, you are sure to lose business.

Last year, we sent someone out once a week with some weed killer and a weed eater. Labor costs can start to run away from you by using this method. So this year, we went with a different method.

This is easier on the environment, easier on your wallet, and good for a little free PR too!

(Your local paper will love it. Just imagine the headline: Local Self Storage Facility goes green with Sheep!)

Ive been watching green trends a bit lately in self storage. There is a local facility that is 100% self sufficient with solar power. I’d be interested to see the difference in their NOI. Anyway, I love the idea of sheep for weed control.

Off question…do they leave behind feces that need to be cleaned up?
