outdoor grills and pests
We just purchased a house in Fenney and will make the move from New Mexico in several months. We are considering extending the natural gas line to the rear of the house and putting in an outdoor grill on the cement pad. Recently, I've read various threads about mice, rats, snakes, and other assorted pests inhabiting these grills despite best efforts to keep them clean and leaving them uncovered so they are less attractive to these creatures. We typically grill about 3 times a week, and all else equal, would like to avoid moving this activity indoors to cooktop or oven alternatives. Am I making too much of this issue or are pests a substantial enough problem that outdoor grilling should be avoided?
