File a complaint with the http://www.bbb.org because it IS their responsibility. They are liable for your property and the property that caused the bugs.

I run a mini storage in CA, and our contract spells out that we are not responsible for ANYTHING. Each storage place is different though, so you should start by talking to the manager and see if maybe they are willing to meet you half way. You should definitely look over your contract, and see what their liability policy is.

you need to file a complain to the storage company and then file a sue to get your money back for all the stuff you lost and also the fees you pay the storage company. they are suppose to keep the storeage area free of bugs and pest, etc.

You are paying a company to store your stuff. The company is responsible. If you can't reach an agreement with the company on a fair compensation, go to an attorney.

The company who owns the storage unit is responsible for the upkeep, cleanliness, maintenance and security of the storage unit.

Depends. If you are at an apartment and the storage facility is for public use by the residents in the building, it would be the landlord or building management company's responsibility to treat for the termites. As far as the damage to your items, you can talk to them to see if they will reimburse you but more likely than not, you'll have to file a claim with your renter's insurance.
If it is a pay-storage facility like UHaul, I would imagine they would be responsible to treat for the termites and again, you can see if their master insurance policy on the property will cover your contents but if I'm not too very much mistaken, when you rent the space you are required to accept or waive insurance on the contents and if you waived it, they will not have to reimburse you for the damages.

That depends, if they can prove they had the place bug free, they can claim you brought them in with your stuff.
That's a tough one. Did they have a guarantee?
Just because it's their fault, you should still have had the stuff insured by your homeowners or renters insurance. The only difference may be who pays your deductible. In that case the Storage place may be more willing to help out.
If you didn't have it insured... sorry.

I had a similar problem when RATS infested the entire building & the management told me to contact my homeowners insurance company. Apparently, this is how most people are handling their "losses". I also had to dispose of most of my belongings due to the wording of the contract. These guys aren't stupid. They've got us coming & going!

If you rented the storage unit, then the owner of the unit is liable for damages.
