Are these likely to come with bugs, or attract bugs to live in them? Are they chemical treated at all?

I have never had a problem with bugs. This one is like the first one I had and it lasted about 6 years - my 2nd one was one with a soft round seed on one side which was soft and quiet but started to shed hulls in about a year so I was happy to find this one. They are listed as organic so I would trust they are chemical free.

No on the bugs. I think they r natural but cant b 100 percent sure. I have used them for years and love them

I really can't say. I used this item to prevent getting them. Never had them but live in an area where there are a ton of bugs and am just paranoid about getting bed bugs. Don't have any to date.

No, they are coated with a baby-powder like substance, which makes them too slick for insects to climb up. Although it appears that our exterminator was able to eliminate our bed bug problem completely we've still got the Climb-ups unstalled under all three beds - just in case!

They are not sticky. You put Diatomaceous Earth in it which will kill the bed bugs. If you get the Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (which is also available on Amazon) it is also good to be used as a dietary supplement. You can look up Diatomaceous Earth on the web, there is quite a bit of information out there.

The ones I got were Convergent Ladybugs, not the ones everyone thinks of (7 spotted with shiny red shells), but they are the most common. They do the job and are nice. My daughter had the crawling all over her without a problem (the Asian Ladybugs will nip a bit).http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/convergent_ladybug_beetle.htm

Absolutely, they are pet safe. They don't bother my cats at all. I put one in each bathroom. one in the kitchen and one in the laundry room. They have worked amazingly well here in Florida where bugs are everywhere. Good luck. Linda

Possibly dust but it depend on what type of bugs you are talking about. I bought them for the attach lids but for the quality of the boxes and the price they ask, I would not buy them again.

They are quite alive when you empty them. I don't suggest spending any extra money on a model with a ziploc or "easy empty" bottom. Mine failed within a week of use and I had to resort to clipping the bag shut on the bottom. Plan on one season, toss, get new ones next year. The attractant works perfectly and instantly, it's unbelievable. I found the best way to dispose of the bugs was to freeze them and then toss them. If you just put them in a bag in your trash alive they will probably find a way out and infest your trashcan.

the 5 kits we ordered a couple years ago had correct lady bugs.I refill with local bugs from the Home Depot or McLendons.I have ordered them on line with great success also. I have had NO luck buying eggs so the classrooms can start from scratch. these containers are nice looking but if anything gets moldy inside it's hard to fet the pieces out without Ladybugs escaping. need LONG tweezers or forceps! (raisins in particular)

The primary problem I had was with scorpions. I had a lot more pill bugs than scorpions and the occasional millipede, though not very many. My house is built on a slab. I sprayed the product on the outside, only; around the foundation and three or four feet up the walls. I did that a year ago. It put an end to all the bugs entering my house, millipedes included. That's the best I can tell you.

I put some out in our unheated garage and so far they are still sticky. Haven't seen mice but caught several bugs. LOL

They should be on the ad for them. Having a senior moment and cannot remember where I put them. They nicely held queen-size blankets or quilts and seemed vary well-made. Definitely bug-proof. Sorry I cannot be more explicit. They're cheap. Give them a try. Linda

I haven't seen any bugs/ants. I have the brown sugar container in addition to the flour and sugar container. No problems.

The only critters I've found has been a few fruit flies this last week, and very few considering the ones around my vegetables and fruit in the basket. I have been really happy so far, no others bugs but these. Thankfully they only are around for a week or two each year. Hope this helps with your decision. I'm really happy with this product so far.

You can order them anytime and keep them in refrigerator. I used a plastic cup for each casing with very fine mesh-like cheesecloth or organza fabric piece over the top secured by a rubber band. As long as it is cold, they will not hatch. Check with a good garden shop to find out when they would be hatching normally then take them from the refrigerator and leave the cups (covered as I describe) out for anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks ahead (a guess...I didn't keep track of the elapsed time) Weekends you will want to take them home or have a student's family take them for once they hatch they look for food and, if not put out in the garden, eventually they will begin eating each other, I have been told. A great many hatch from each casing. They are the size of mosquitos....perfect miniature praying mantis once they emerge from the casing and shed an outer 'cocoon-like covering. You can carefully take them out by hand or shake the container around. Try to spread them around the area so that they will have room to find insects. If you are lucky, a few will live and you will see them....one or more inches long and very green...in your garden. I just thought...if you had a bunch of containers, each of your children could take some home with them and distribute in their own gardens. My grandchildren have been so excited to spot one or more of their grown up 'babies' midway through the summer. Good luck
