Tammy: I usually use tall thick rubber trash cans so that the mice and rats don't get in but its easy to get food out, and th ones Im using now have wheels so if you were on the move it would be easy to take them around. And they aren't that excpensive either because they are just trash cans.

MUCH LOVE!

Most farming communities have lots of heavy duty blue plastic containers with black lids in which various chemicals and drugs come. Obviously read the label, check out what was in them, wash them out well. These are impervious to rats! They are fantastic. They make good jumps too.

If there is a fruit juice producing facility in the area, their plastic barrels make excellent containers and you don't have to worry about toxicity. EO

wow, you have a lot of suggestions here. I keep the same amount of food that you do handy--I keep the spare bag in a locked rubber bin, and the stuff in use in one of those air-tight containers with the screwdown lid that sucks the air out, and keep that inside a metal trash can with another lid (where supplements can be accessed too). May be overkill but nothing gets in or out, not even dust or moisture.
