Can bugs crawl into the container?

not until it starts cracking on the sides. which it will do if left outside

Definitely not, as long as you latch it. It's air tight when the latch is on. I have a lot of spiders, flies, and tiny gnats where I live, and never once have they gotten into the food, even when they try.

I don't believe so, so long as you latch it shut each time (a simple process) - latching forms an airtight seal all around. Of course, if your contents already have bugs in them, then the seal will keep the bugs from getting out :-)

I get spiders in the box. Maybe I don't shut it tightly enough or there might be small cracks where the lid doesn't meet the box well. No way cats or rodents will move the lid. It is a solid piece of heavy plastic.

We have not had any problems. Where you live may be a factor. We live in the SF Bay Area. We have had another shed for years and never had bugs. The new one is a slightly different design so I don't know if it will make a difference.

The plastic covers the bottom, and there's a piece of folded cardboard to help it stay flat. The holes in the plastic that the frame goes through are a little wider than the frame pole, and bugs could conceivably crawl through, but I don't think mice could.

Hi! The cover goes around the closet and rippers from the bottom to the top with a top flap, but bugs can go under the bottom rack and get inside. I don't have problems with moths/bugs. When you think about it, if you open a closet door there's a chance that one could get inside. It's a chance you take. I love this closet because at least it closes all around and very sturdy and that the bottom rack is open so that your clothes could still be airy and not sweat. If your worried about moths/bugs then put a unscented bug repellant that you can hang inside the closet. I know you didn't want all the other information, but it's a beautiful and sturdy closet that I bought two and NO bugs. Good luck! Hi!

Not sure about bugs. I use it as a wood preservative . It's really good for this.

No, ladybugs are beetles and they move freely from plant to plant. They don't secrete anything that would make them stick, but they might be ON something when your kids pick it, just like any other bug, so you should probably teach them to wash their produce before they eat it.... if for no other reason than dirt and parasites ;)

I have a very good experience with these and have never seen bugs in any of my dry goods. It is possible if dry good sit too long and there's moisture that things can get in when you open it and close it that then plant larva that grow. People have to remember that they go in and out of the container then I was can get in and out as well when they open the container

They do not let bugs or debris into the structure. They are completely mesh enclosed, like the sides. They are about 2 inches high and run the edge of the structure. They may let water in, if you were in a wet area, however I have not tested that.

Sure, if you don't mind being invaded by a swarm of bugs. The Miracle Grow soils -- all of them -- are loaded with little tiny transparent golden pearls that hatch into nasty gnats. They'll destroy certain plant roots and be all over the place. They are a pain to get rid of. Pick another brand of potting soil. This stuff is trouble.

Not that I am aware of`. The biggest issue is the can opening but I transferred most to a different container.

There are definitely small openings near the legs were a spider could crawl in. I'm not sure, you may be able to seal off the leg openings with tape though.

I haven't. I leave the lid on so my pet or other animals can't get into it. I have seen some small bugs and do expect to see insects but that's to be expected.

No. There are holes along most of the unit to allow the "compost tea" to drain and be collected. However, I have not have a problem with bugs.

Sorry, only one bug at a time. However, I am very happy with how well this gadget works. Was never disappointed in it. Even when the spider was curled up in a ceiling corner, it grabbed the bug on the first try. No matter how fast the spider was running, I got it on first try. Can't stand bugs.

Even though spider mites are not listed on the container I would be surprised if it wasnt effective against them. Thats the best answer I can give you.

We have the occasional Waterbug and Earwick. I spray and use Boric Acid but bugs sometimes come in under the door. The flap is snug and there is a magnetic strip to keep it closed. You'd probably get more bugs flying in when opening the door to let critters in and out then would come in though the flap.
