We may be busy delivering and picking up boxes, helping people endure their move, and saving the planet but we are not too busy for you! We are also not afraid to admit that we love to hear what all of our fans have to say! It’s a great feeling to be in the limelight, so in return, we are going to tilt the light in your direction – but just for a minute! Here’s some of things that are being said on our Facebook Page – wait…you haven’t been there yet?! Well, after helping us shine the light in our adoring fans’ direction by reading this post – head on over to our Facebook Page and see what the commotion is all about!

Kings of Boxes:

We love to see when people utilize the full potential of BungoBox and why they Crush Cardboard!

Andrea Price – “Best boxes EVER! They made our move so much easier. I couldn’t believe how much stuff we could fit in them.”

Thanks Andrea! We do like to consider ourselves the Kings of the Boxes!

Give it Back – or Don’t:

While the “Move. Unpack. Now Give ‘em Back” concept is part of what makes BungoBoxes so easy to use – don’t forget if you really love them (or maybe just want a stylin’ new footrest or end table in your new place) you can purchase them and have a piece of BungoBox in your life forever! Think of the possibilities – storing those pesky Christmas lights, books, valuables and more!

Donna Battle – “Follow @BungoBox, learn about their awesome product and enter for a chance to win an iPad! Pack. Move. Give it Back. LOVE THAT!!”

Don’t forget – you do have the option to buy BungoBoxes as well if you’d like!

The “Removal Expert”:

It’s always great to hear from an expert…especially when they are endorsing BungoBox! No complaints here, although maybe a bit of curiosity about what a “Removal Expert” does on the job….

Lucien Love – “I’m trained in the art of removals and I can honestly say your boxes are by far the best!”

Thank you – we like to think so too!

Want a piece of the spotlight too? Well, don’t be shy – speak your mind about BungoBox!

It isn’t new – we have battled against “pesky” intruders in our homes for generations.  From uninvited family and neighbors, solicitors to pests, dirt to the stray dog that your child just HAS to keep – we all want our homes to be our safe haven and to have total control over who and what enters it and when.

Well, we all love our families, friends and neighbors here at BungoBox – and we’ll even put up with a few solicitors, some dirt, and the occasional stray but what we don’t want to deal with is pests!

Moving is seen as starting with a blank canvas – you get to reorganize everything, decorate and make a new home, which should be nothing but exciting!  However, it can take nothing more than a few hitch-hikers in some boxes to create a nightmare!  Therefore, we would like to clear a few things up and help you to fully achieve making your move with nothing but what you intended to bring with you.

Bug Truths:

• Bugs want to find a safe, comfortable place to call their home and continue their life cycle – it’s a simple fact.
• While cardboard in and of itself does not “attract” bugs, the situation of it does. Think of how cardboard boxes are used – for storage, things that are left untouched and undisturbed for sometimes long periods of time.
• Paper and cardboard are easy materials for bugs to work their way through by chewing, etc. While plastic is not completely 100% bug-proof – the only ways they can get through it is by improper sealing, breakage, etc.
• Bed bugs, cockroaches, spiders, fleas, silverfish, ticks, mites, and beetles are just a small list of the different pests that often call papers and cardboard boxes their homes.
• If you re-use cardboard boxes (whether from a friend or from the supermarket), chances are that you could be setting yourself up for problems – even if you don’t see any bugs. Boxes are one of the ideal places for bugs to lay eggs, and if they are laid inside the crevices for example – they can be nearly impossible for you to notice.

What Can You Do to Protect Your New Home:

• Before you move into your new home, have a professional pest control company treat it (especially important if it is a new home that has never been treated, or a home that has been vacant for a decent amount of time). This can prevent any problems before they start.
• Repack any boxes that have been stored in the attic, garage, or storage unit before you move them into your new home.
• Throw out all boxes, papers and packing materials as you unpack – don’t leave them stacked up around the house.
• Use plastic bins for storage instead of cardboard boxes. (Don’t forget – you can use BungoBoxes for storage by purchasing them).
• If you must use cardboard boxes to store things in your closets, attic and/or garage – seal the contents inside of a plastic bag first, ensuring that there are no tears in it.
• If you see a few bugs – DON’T let it slide, call a professional. One basic service call for preventive is a lot easier to manage and afford than what it will cost if it is allowed to become a bigger problem.

While pests are something that everyone will face from time to time (especially in certain geographic areas), with the right management and awareness – the effect can be very minimal. We want you to enjoy your new home and for your only problems to be what color to paint your walls and where to hang your pictures!
