Are these air-tight? Want to make sure bugs cannot get inside for items like rice and flour.

hermetic and seem to be airtight but may want to buy a glass one for stronger components

In terms of being Air Tight ,they Are pretty Air Tight . I have Not had any Issues with Moisture at all . I have My Baking Flour in one and has held up just fine . Stays Fresh and Dry .

Thank you for taking time to answer. If I froze them I would definitely wrap them tightly in plastic first. I freeze all my other flours and meals so they won't get weevils. But I will take this into consideration.

They are an AGM and totally sealed. I would think that it would be okay inside but I really do not know. I would check with Exide to make sure to be on the safe side.

they seem to be airtight, but for extra caution i place a square plastic wrap piece at the top and twist lid. i mostly use them for dry goods.

Yes, they are closed at the bottom with a seam. The seam is not strong enough to hold any weight, so don't put other items (shoes, etc.) in the bottom of the bag, but they close at the bottom so dust and insects don't fly or crawl in.

I use them for Limoncello, and they seem to seal pretty tight. I would say, yes they are air tight as they are placed on their sides with the liquid against the top and show no signs of leaks.

I also have 2 cats. The answer is a definite yes to the airtight situation. I use them for everything. No bugs or staleness. My cats are very fussy about there treats. Good Luck.

If they are closed correctly, they are airtight. So I would say it would be very hard for ants to get in.

Really like these. I keep bread flour in them and it stays fresh and dry and bug-free. You will have to remove the white "band" off each lid once you open them. The remaining lid still snaps tight, but does not have the seal "banding" anymore. Hope this helps.

The ziploc bags are not air tight. They have a zipper around the top so should stay shut but also have a narrow mesh around the top and are not vacuum sealed.

I have had no issues with moisture, etc. so i would say they are as air-tight as needed for standard household usage.

I do not believe they are "air tight." If they were I think there would be a bit more resistance felt when closing and locking the box because of pressure on the O-ring. The manufacturer says that they are "water resistant." Were they "water-proof" then they would be airtight.

Not sure if they are truly "air tight," but the caps screw on very tightly and securely. If air gets through, it doesn't appear to be enough to dry out the spices or cause them to become stale.

They are not air tight - liquids seep out if you turn them on the side. I use them in the frig and for pantry storage but have never used them in the freezer.

I ordered them for loose leaf tea, but I would say they are definitely NOT air tight! For the price...they are decent containers, but I'm buying new containers for tea...one by one as I save for them! hope this helps!

Hi Roseanna! I placed mine into an airtight container for storage for precisely the reason you cite: anti-vermin. I actually framed the bag! Living in Kaua'i meant a strong likelihood of bugs! Another tip: I placed the jute bag of lentils in the freezer for a week and then brought it back to room temperature before placing the lentils into the air tight container. Since then we have moved to New Zealand to live and the lentils are in perfect condition.
