Does this close up over your head so bed bugs can't get in? what's to stop bed bugs if the top is open?

No, and I don't think I would want to have a sheet that closed so tightly that bedbugs would be sealed out -- if such a thing even exists. Bed bugs are really small, small enough to get through most zippers, etc.

You would need a zippered net to accomplish that...I sprayed mine with Zeet. No problem.

Hello, I'm glad you asked. If you have bugs, the best bet is to get It checked out. Have you been getting bites, such as little red bumps. Unless your bed is completely covered by bugs I would get the top and bottom cover, once on this will keep any bugs from coming out of mattress or box spring. This is not a total solution, so a pest control company is the next step. The one I used did a hepa vacuum and steam cleaned all rooms. A lot of work is involved cleaning clothes and moving things around. If you buy a mattress and don't take care of bugs you will still have a problem. I hope this helps.

This will help you eliminate bed bugs without throwing out your mattress. If you have bedbugs, it will trap them in your bed, and they will no longer spread from there. You would still have to clean your sheets and the rest of the bedroom to get rid of the bugs. I would leave this cover on for at least a year, according to research online, because adult bed bugs can live that long without feeding. I also recommend the corresponding pillow encasement. I use both because of allergies, but it's nice to know that when I get back from travel, I have a lower risk of harboring bed bugs in my bed.

As best I recall, it fits over the mattress. I bought this for my granddaughter last May and my husband put it on the bed for her. It was really pretty easy, and she loved getting in it and opening and closing the window flaps. We definitely didn't do anything with the sheets, though, I would have remembered that. I'm sorry my memory is not better on that, but Julie loved it. Hope this helps.

It does open at the top, but that would allow squirrels to get in too. I think I may go back to the simple suet feeder, the birds still haven't figured this one out.

Thank you for your question! This door is designed to close with magnets behind your pet which shouldn't make it easy for insects to enter. For added protection, you can always add an additional flap to the door.

NO. the cover it a plastic top. It doesn't provide a tight closure. But it is good for hiding things.

It zips all the way to the top, however, there is an opening from the top that flops over to the zipper, but is not tightly sealed. Also, the more weight your items weigh, the more open the top becomes from your bag sagging. If you put in just the right amount to keep it from sagging, I suppose you could tape the sides of the top so no moths would get in.

Yes, it keeps rodents out. The lid screws on, so there's no way anything can get in. There are small holes on the side which allows small insects to get in that help with the decomposition of the material that is in the bin. this is very easy to use. It is on a base with a roller, so it's very easy to turn it no matter how much you have inside.

Mine has a 2 1/2 foot opening at top center, and slits in corners to reach a hand through and pull on comforter or topper. I use it to cover a 2-inch foam topper and sleep with a cotton sheet over that. My bedroom is controlled at 67 to 72 deg-F and 50-60 % relative humidity, and my foam topper is not noticeably hot, cold, or moist. Originally when I bought the BtN cover, I also bought a cotton pad to be placed between the cover and sheet to moderate the temperature and moisture, but have not needed it.

No. This product is like a fitted sheet that goes over the mattress with elastic corners, the other fully encases the mattress and zips closed.

No, there is an opening at the top. The cedar wood inserts should work to prevent insects from being attracted to the garment bag.

yea around outer edge of your house. i have kill ant beds with it and under house. it prevents them from getting in.

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!

It does not have a lock that you would have to release to lower the top. In the up position the top is balanced past center so the weight of the top holds it open. We haven't had any accidental closures

Hmm. Mine stays open about 4 inches. I force it closed since my pup is a min pin. They like to burrow. It's a great bed for dogs that like to be covered. That's why I got it, since that is what the descriptions read. Just make sure your dog likes to be covered. If not, try pins on top. Just pin a little bit of the fabric to itself.... Maybe that will help. But I'd have bought it even if she didn't burrow, it looked so fluffy.. it is.
