While I agree with most of your helpful advice, I find that mice have no problem getting through those plastic tubs.
I only store dry food in metal containers for that reason.
I buy 7, 20, and 30 gal. garbage cans w/tight fitting lids for that purpose.
I’ve not had that problem with the mice or rats here over the past 3-4 years of prepping, but it’s good to know about, and your point is well taken. Thanks.
