Does it close tightly enough to keep insects Especially cockroaches out of the trash can?

Thank goodness I don't have cockroaches!!! It does close nicely and I enjoy watching it open and close. It is indeed smaller that I had Expected.

absolutely not -- the lid lowers down slowly and when it fully closes it is even with the rest of the can, but an actual seal would require that the lid was closed with some pressure - in fact, considerable pressure. many insects, including roaches, can walk between a wall and wall paper. they will have no problem getting in and out of the can if they have reason to go there. and i don't believe i have ever seen a consumer trash can would have a strong-enough seal, except, maybe, those trash-compactor in-counter units, which you have to shove closed with some force

yes but it is so small nothing fits into it-this is the only time I would say go to the store to see the sizes before you order.It is useless to me son-I should have measured.I use amazon all the time and love it.

It's a small can which I bought for the laundry for lint and all the junk I fish out of my family's pockets (I keep the change!). It does keep out moths - and pets. I fits flush against the dryer and is out of the way. It has a liner, and you can also put a trash bag into the liner, and it still closes tightly.

It's a tight fit and I haven't had any pest problems. It also has a filter in the lid so you don't smell anything when it's closed. I'm very happy with it.

we have used a few different types of garbage bags and the lid works fine all the time. what we really like is that the lid closes slowly and has a locking switch that keeps our dogs from getting into the trash.

The lid does not fit "tightly" but, in my opinion, is adequate for keeping bugs out.

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.

it closes pretty tight--if you have strong critters they might be able to pop it up,but i don't think so--it's pretty secure.

I am not sure what cave crickets are but if installed properly it makes a pretty good seal while the door is closed. So it should keep out smaller insects.

Yes, it works very well and closes easily. Easy to store when not in use. KATHY G.

Yes, actually it does. The suction is quite strong, more than enough for large roaches. It is unfortunate that they get injured this way because they are so large, but since they are headed for extermination at my house anyway, I am just grateful to have the long tube between me and the bug.

Yes. It will keep mites and bugs out. The only holes are the ones where the bag connects to the top of the bar. This is a great product for storage.

Yes it does, its really nice and sturdy, we get ants a lot so we needed a good trash can that kept the lid closed tight and didn't left the bag fall or rip and this does this perfectly.

It pretty tall, it hold large kitchen trash bags. Probably about 3 feet. When closed it has a great seal to keep odors in and the bugs out. You will love it.

It doesn't close. It has elastic so it fits nicely over just about any hamper or diaper pail.

i use one at an entrance door under my carport. it is not completely open but it does exactly what i hoped it would which was to keep mosquitoes away from the door. it works great for that.

yes, it does seal tightly and keep out odors . on a side note i do try to keep all other freezer foods completely covered so that they don't get smell from them

Has a set of plastic flappers that close by gravity and blow open when turned on. Not a very tight seal but keeps the bugs out.
