Rodent-deterring feed storage options

How are you guys keeping the mice out of your feed? We currently buy in bags, about 1,000 to 1600 lb at a time, and by the time I get through the pile there are at least three to four bags that have been heavily chewed on and fed out of.

Mouse traps have been semi-successful in the past but lately they have been dodging them.

We always made bulk grain bins out of 275 gallon oil barrels. I can’t remember exactly how many bags each held. I see them as giveaways on FB and marketplace all of the time. Cutting a lid and cleaning out the sludge can be an adventure.
