Does this box, once closed, have any holes, gaps, etc., where mice could get in? I am considering using it indoors in a cabin to store bedding.

I think you could safely use it for that. No openings for mice to get in. I've had mine on an exposed deck all winter (near Buffalo NY). Not even a drop of water inside.

No holes ! It does have a place to put a lock . I would put something heavy on it to store all winter as the top wiggles with heat and cold. Good all summer on our deck on the ocean keepingcushiond dry and clean during weather

You might try an ice pick but be careful not to jab yourself. The plastic is thin and brittle so it might be hard to force an ice pick through. I don't know why the manufacturer wouldn't put vent holes in it. We have been catching mice on a fairly regular basis but on more than one occasion the food has disappeared. We figured one mouse came in and got it and another mouse came along and opened the door and both escaped.

It doesn't need air-holes because the air comes in around the door. I put them out before bed and check them in the morning... they are a little steamy from them being in there breathing, but they have plenty of air for the short time you have them in there... I have never had one seem off-put by an air issue... usually they're just curious as to where I am taking them! LOL! :D

I have not had any issues with mice getting in there, but there isn't anything about the product that would keep a determined mouse out.

Your kitty shouldn't have a problem entering the box. The opening is low to the floor and is quite large.

I put my cats in there and they hated it. So I'm reasonably certain if there was a way out, they would have found it. As far as I can tell there are not holes, gaps or any slits for escape. It was so easy to push around also.

There is no need to open the bag. The material is like that of a tea bag so the odor seeps out. We use them in our RV every winter. No mice and it smells nice. After using it for the winter season, we then take them and put them in the underneath storage of our RV during the summer "just in case"! Also put a couple this year in a storage unit our daughter rented - we'll see how that works!

The storage compartment is removable (in fact it rattles a bit when I use the keyboard) so theoretically you could put something flat over the "hole" to make a larger mouse surface. It IS an opening that is covered by the tray, however- nothing underneath it.

I had a issue with squirrels chewing through although it is still useable. I have not had a issue with rats or mice that I am aware of - I use lots of garden clippings and leaves as well as food scraps. Overall I am not sure about this bin just because it is so flimsy.

No it doesn't have a bottom so micorbes and bugs can travel into the bin. I had a problem with rats tunneling up into it so I put several sheets of chicken wire at various angles beneath it and that has solved the problem for over a year.

If I recall, I believe there were packets that were not opened that mice chewed into. However, because I have a similar situation in which I needed to place the packets into an area that I could not reach, I have since decided to just poke a small hole (pencil, etc.), into the package first. The hole is small enough that it doesn't allow anything to spill out, but I am insured that the scent of the bait will still attract the mice. Hope this helps?

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!

Yes other reviewers are correct, there are small holes in this bag. I can't give an exact answer as I'm not a medical professional but I would think it should give some protection. Bed bugs have to be brought in from an outside source so if you are storing a mattress and don't already have bed bugs you should be safe. If you do currently have bed bugs I would not trust this bag and I would consult an exterminator who knows what they're doing.

this type of shed is very good, there are no wide gaps for rodents to get in, but you may have ants, bugs, or even spiders find there way in. What I did with mine (I have two) I spread silicone on the bottom, around the whole shed, to keep out any little crawlers going on 6yrs. so far so good.

I have 4 mice (two very small, young ones) and the bars are just close enough to keep them in! One spot in my cage has a slight warp in the metal and one of them tried escaping once but after that incident, i just duct taped it up and they've been very happy in there! So I would recommend this cage for mice!

Anywhere on the inside is okay. I have success using a small amount of peanut butter in the channel that is beside the entrances. That way the mouse can get all the way through the entrance and is trapped by the time it starts to eat on the bait. Otherwise, the tail may provide a means of escape. Also, I have had some escapes because the entrance ramps on some models come slightly bent. You should check that before you bait the trap. If the bait keeps disappearing with no mice trapped they are escaping.

No predrilled holes - but I wouldn't suggest drilling the trap into wood, otherwise throwing the mouse away would be kind of yucky because you would have to touch it - I like the fact that I don't have to touch the mouse to throw it away (even though I have rubber gloves on).
