The unit I got Tue had enough spiders to make a horror movie, big ones everywhere that gave me the willies. I'll take trash over spiders any day. Bombed the unit and sprayed it to and still got bit by something. I don't think it was a brown recluse but poopy sheets don't make my skin crawl. Be carefull out there!

@ Millertime about the spiders...

And thats why customers at the flea market don't understand why we come across the table going for the throat when we are selling a $150 item for $25, and they say "I'll give you $10".

Disclaimer: (I do not actually do this, nor do I support violence against 'pain in the butt' customers, but I must admit the thought comes to mind.)  ;D

Makes one wonder about these folks that just take this stuff home and tossing it in there garage. the roach's and spiders must love there home not to mention stowed away rodents. Black widows are quite common here and carry a nasty bite.  I may travel 150 miles to an auction buy, load, and go I do have an out building the stuff go's in and it gets a few bug bombs and closed doors before I leave. I have found these blue bars of rodent bait for .10 a bar I just take as many as I want out of a 5 gallon bucket toss em in a bag at my feed store and they eat these up seems like $1.00 worth last me 6 months.
 Wile I've killed a few snakes in lkrs I dont think I've ever brought any back that I know of anyhow.
yea even if theres a trashy lkr next door the buggs spill over to the good lkr next door.

At the verry least bug bomb your garage as soon as you close the door, and use lots of rodent bait in there.
I have bought good looking lkrs just to get into them to find the rodents have had a field day with the stuffing of that $1500 leather couch that I knew was good from what I could see when I bought the locker. chewed holes in the drawers of cabonates to get at the trash left inside. so yea take these rodents home and lets see your home with chewed wireing in a year. etc. etc. etc. $1.00 every 6 months I see as good insurance and its cheap. The bug bombs are a bit more pricey but well worth it for the agravation they can cause as well.

Trashy lockers are a verry large problem period in my opinion. but thats just my 2 cents.

Oh yeah, I can give this peice of advice STAY AWAY FROM WEEKEND AUCTIONS. There were 300 plus people for these 40 units.

lol, word of advice on that one, it did not use to be that way, most of your veterans either have stores or flea market booths, which in case if its a flea market booth they dont usually show up to auctions, its primarily the noobs that watch tv and have a job that show up on weekends
