I keep mine in my reloading room in the house. Nobody but me goes in there. I have bait in 1 gallon jars. Some in 1/2 jars store in there. Plus 100+ 1 oz bottles of lures. I keep the window covered. House temperature not in the sunlight. I try to buy my bait in 1 gallon jars. Cheaper that way. And easier to store too.
