How to store mesh loop-loc cover?

Hi everyone:

Went through first season of pool ownership last year successfully. New pool opened in April '05 and went to solely using bleach for chlorine at beginning of June. No problems! Crystal clear water all summer. Thanks loads. Here's the question: Pool has been opened for this season. Mesh loop-loc cover is in the bag- should I store it with something or someplace particular to avoid possibility of mice or other destructive creatures from chewing holes in it? Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Store it in a large plastic garbage can so the mice don't eat it. If you can't put the lid on with the cover in then at least position the can so that mice can't enter from something climbable next to it.
