How is the seal when the door is closed? Will it keep out only flies or does it close well enough to keep out mosquitos and gnats also?

It does do a good job keeping out the bugs, so long as one of my dogs does not stand holding it open. The only problem I had with it is the tabs that snap together do not all hold well. I zipped a couple screws in to hold it together it several spots.

The seal is largely good enough to keep out mosquitoes. Once affixed, you slice around the perimeter of the swinging door with a box cutter, so the opening gap is rather tight. As for the 3 rectangular openings you see at the top of the door in the picture with the dog going through it, those are filled with uncut screen, so no issue there. I live in FL, when closed not an issue for mosquitoes. Super tiny gnats might be able to find a way through - not sure.

A guy at the hardware store sold me some air conditioner tape--moderately sticky 3- or 4-inch clear tape that you run all the way around everything to prevent teeny insects from entering. You just close the window down on the outside of a 2 ridge. Because we have wide windows, I cut a piece of plywood to make up the difference. It's a pain in the neck but better than suffocating.

Mine isn't actually sealed in. I just slide it closed and it holds right in place, so I can take it right out and open or close the door. But there isn't a good deal that way, they recommend taping it in for a seal.

It's closed yes, but, not sealed - there's a small opening at the top of the zipper that is exposed, while covered there with a bit of a flap, I'm thinkin', um that I can't say it'll save you from moths - I once lived where there were silverfish - I'd bet this would not protect from silverfish. Thinkin' some more - zip this closed with some moth balls, maybe it'll do. Can say that this product has serviced me very well - it shows like no wear/tear and I have it filled and change out seasonal clothes, with too a drawer along side it that rubs it, but hasn't broken it - it is a good product.

It will close the edges if there's a space between the door and frame. The seal is good and tight. I use it because I'm a smoker and don't want to spread the smell around. Works great for that.

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.

It should keep away most small flies and bugs. There are no holes in the tent other then the entryway and I believe it zips up.

I have used it quiet a few times working on projects at night and hated having the garage door open because of the mosquitoes in S FL. Running the thermacell I can leave it open and at least enjoy the breeze without having to fear being swarmed. Some nights it has been so effective I haven't been bitten once.

No but it does keep the bugs out. It fits tight so the kids don't like to open and close the zippers all the time.

We've been using it for three months and have had no issues with fruit flies or gnats. We empty it about twice a week.

It has a zipper closing. If your dog is small, it could escape if left open. Mine used it for entrance. There's lots of ventilation through net. My dog is absolutely crazy about it and gets ex cited if I even touch.

no. There is a magnetic closure so unless your pet hangs halfway in the door, no bugs enter.

It has a full zipper and with the door zipped insects cant get in, but insects can come in from the bottom if you don't address that. All in all its a great unit and I will be pulling mine out next week and that put a smile on my face because that tells me that Spring is around the corner.

It is not completely sealed up. There are some cracks where the door is located. However, I've had it since mid-June and have had no problems as of yet!

I would say that the bag is not designed to be sealable against those type of pests. I believe it will do a good job of keeping passive dust out, but against a determined bug, no I think is will not do the job.

Definitely will keep the fruit flies out. But some are saying that they can crawl underneath, where the bottom of these touch the tabletop...I had no problems with insects getting in though.

There is a seal along the hinge side as well as the other 2 sides to make a seal. The only leakage we have had comes from when we open the door then it beads off. But nothing while the door is closed. Just be sure the measurements and opening is PERFECT this door doesn't have any room for adjustment
