How well does it keep out bugs?

The shelter keeps out bugs very well when it's all down and zipped. Can't say we had any issues, even at night.

It probley would a little but but the sides don't close all the way so bugs could still get in!

It is intended to keep insects & bugs out. No other usage has been approved.

No problems with bugs. I put cedar chips in the bottom of each bag to help keep out pests and keep the clothing smelling fresh.

It has worked on all kinds of bugs. I have rental property where I use it. So far it's the best I've tried. Been using it for about 3 years now.

We have only used it on the exterior of our house and it still prevented us from getting bugs inside. One treatment lasted about 3 months.

Yes all our screen is designed to keep out insects. If you have no-see-ums or sand fly's we recommend the tiny 17 x 20 mesh.

If you cut the bottom to fit your door frame it will keep majority of the bugs out, but there isn't anything sealing it to the bottom since you need the flaps to be able to move when you go in and out of the screen. I would still highly recommend this product, it's kept bugs out, allows our dog to go in and out of the house and is made of great quality.

The mesh is made of one-inch squares, so no, it won't keep insects out. It doesn't block any sunlight, though.

No it just has a screen to keep out bugs and critters. Have noticed any cold air coming in.

Best thing to remember is that about a 10 foot circle around the trap will have a lot of bugs traveling in it. I have mine about 20 feet down a path into the woods from the house and it works great.

We don't really get bugs where I keep mine, so I can't really say that the absence of bugs means its bug proof. It sounds like the real question is whether the bag closes 100%. The answer to that is that while it closes pretty securely, pretty much any little opening could be enough to let something in, depending on what that something is. There is a little space where the zipper meets the top...but it's tiny - and it's covered with fabric so that the zipper "tucks" up underneath it. So if you're concerned about larger bugs, this is probably a safe bet. If you're concerned about little bugs, such as those the size of fruit flies, etc, I wouldn't say it's 100% bug proof. Hope this helps!

I use this for an exterior door. I live in the South and before I installed this, the door had a vinyl sweep that was positioned 1/4 of an inch too high so I would get a lot of bugs crawling underneath the door. I've only had this for about two weeks but so far, I feel like it's done a great job keeping bugs out which gives me so much peace of mind. Recommended!

For my unit I didn't have to take out the screen to install it. So, never had a problem with bugs. However, I just double checked my unit, and from what I can tell there are no gaps or cracks large enough for bugs to come through, unless they're ants maybe.

No it is not fine enough to keep out mosquitoes; although being in Florida I have not had a problem and I have had them in place for at least a couple of years.

I think you'll be fine. I spray it on all kinds of surfaces around my house and never notice anything beyond a little white dust once it dries. The stuff is seriously the best bug spray I've ever used. Lasts for at least a couple months in hot Phoenix weather.

Zipped up it should keep most bugs out. However, my kids (and I image all other kids) tend to run in and out constantly. And, if you are using it when it is hot out (and why wouldn't you) you probably won't want it zipped anyway.
