Spring Cleaning Your Feed Room
For those of us in milder states, spring is quickly turning into summer. However, for many, trees are still leafing out and spring has only just arrived. No matter how far in to spring you are, there’s something about this season that begs action. This is a great time for tidying, cleaning, and organizing before the summer heat sets in.
So what to put on your spring to-do list? The feed room is a great please to start.
Feed bins
If you have free standing feed bins they probably haven’t been pulled away from the wall and washed out all winter. Who knows what it living behind them (hopefully just spiders!) but it’s worth pulling them out and checking for evidence of rodent activity, and giving the area a good sweep. Check plastic trash cans used for storing feed for holes, because rats will chew holes in the bottoms of these bins. Wash cans out with dilute bleach, but make sure they’re dry before putting any feed in them
