First, give your barbecue a thorough cleaning both inside and out. Remove the grates, heating element and gas tubes. Then clean each piece individually to remove all food which can attract insects and rodents.
Coat the burners and metal parts with cooking oil to help repel moisture and prevent rust and wrap the end of the gas line with a plastic bag to keep spiders and bugs from nesting in the gas tubes.
