Would mice and other pests be able to get in through this?

I don't know about mice, but yes on the others. There is a plastic lock on it for when you don't want it to be used. We had a very determined cat muscle through the lock.

A mouse would have to be able to jump, hit the door and get in at the same time. Somewhat doubtful particularly if there is a cat on the other side. A raccoon or opposum could get in if it was not too big. Mine are located in doors leading into my tack/feed room and my shop. I've had coons get in but no other animals. They do lock so you could lock it closed if your cat was in for the night.

Cats could probably easily enter. There is another one a friend told me about that has a magnetic bottom panel. If you're worried about cats I would suggest finding on like that

The short answer is yes. The long answer is No matter what, you're going to have to open something to get in to it, and the potential for bugs to get in will exist. That being said, I have visible swarms of Mosquitos at my house, and they do not get inside from our quick zips in and out. Our 75lb dog likes to "let" herself out as well by crawling under the zipper, which invariably opens it up a bit, and even then I've never noticed an increased bug count. This thing is great, can't reccomend it highly enough!

this will get mice, to avoid this put the trap in side a box with holes a bug can get in but a mouse can not. the spiders will love entering your box and then get in here, but the mice will move around the box. keep in mind a mouse can get in any area his skull will fit in, dont make the holes too big.

Since a rodent can eat thru wood I would say no. But I also do not see any getting in unless they did eat thru the wood sides of the box, the lid is a snug secure fit.

There are no plastic parts that the rats/mice can eat through. The lid-window is plastic but cannot be eaten/bitten through. Keep the entrances clear and free of debris and you will trap the animals - so long as your rats/mice are small enough to pass through the entranceways. If you are looking to trap large rats you might have to look for another trap

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.

If it kills mice and rats, I would assume it would kill these, providing you had the proper enticement to enter the box.

I do not know! We do not have an issue with rodents, but if you put the screen on right enough and secure most of the bottom (besides the opening), there is no "opening" until the animal physically tried to go through the screen. We love it because we do not have a screen door and we enjoy hving the door open without bugs coming in. I say it's worth a try!

No, I don't think it would work. It helps the fight against pests, but it only helps the fight, it doesn't prevent them from coming in.

No. I think you would need something with a seal. This keeps water out but I'm pretty sure those pesky critters will crawl right in.

There are a couple tiny holes on the door, but I recommend you add more. I used a drill bit about the size of the 4 that are already there and added a bunch all around the trap. Plus, it will only aid in the mouse smelling the PB faster if you drill some at the opposite end of the door.

Not unless you have very clever critters. The latch is substantial and takes a good press to get it open.

Can't rodents chew through anything that isn't metal? Actually, they would REALLY have to work at it. I don't see them getting through it, but anything is possible.

Not sure. We live in an old house. I have seen a small mouse slip in and out of the bars. Rats maybe big enough to not do that.

Probably. The directions show how to install in a barn. Just make sure raccoons and possums and mice can't get to it.

Yes. The bottom of the mesh is not fastened, so any critter could make its' way in or out.
