Will this keep mites and bugs out? Does it have any holes after zippered up?

The only place that is not totally secured is at the top where all 3 zippers meet. I hope this helps you.

Yes, it is designed to keep bugs, like moths, out. It is even cedar-lined. There are no holes after zippered up. There are three (3) zippers - 1 vertical & 2 horizontal that meet at the very top. Because they are three individual zippers, they do not meet for a complete seal. However, there is a cloth flap that covers the top opening so it protects/covers up that slight opening.

They are regular zippers so there are naturally some small spaces where the zippers come together in the top middle. There are also very tiny holes where the hangers come through on top. But I think it will serve decent protection against moths, which is why I bought it.

We were having a problem with clothing moths and it kept them out. It does not have holes but cloth sides so that the clothes can breathe. It is not good to store your clothes completely air tight. I've been extremely happy with them.

Ours is hung in the country and there is nothing stopping bugs from getting in. However we have it connected by a carabiner and just take it down at the end of the day and put it inside or in the garage. We leave it out some nights, but you really shouldn't leave it out in the rain, that is the only way it will become damaged. The kids love it and it stays very clean and comfortable.

It should keep away most small flies and bugs. There are no holes in the tent other then the entryway and I believe it zips up.

Hi Bobby! Thanks for the question. My Eco Mattress Bag is designed to protect your mattress from bed bug, mite, fleas, ticks and moth infestation. Since they cannot penetrate me Eco Mattress Bag, as it's designed as a NON-VENTED 2.2 Professional Grade Recycled Plastic ( this is a huge factor), Bed Bugs and other small insects cannot enter, break, chew through, burrow or nest like other mattress bags. Other Mattress Bags are usually made with small venting holes which allow bed bugs easy access- which defeats the purpose of protection. Our Eco Mattress Bag is also made 15% bigger so you can pull and seal tight to prevent any bed bugs from entering your mattress. For full protection, I would also suggest to wrap your Box Spring as bed bugs are commonly found infesting and reproducing in this area. I hope this is helpful and please let me know if you need anymore help! Sincerely Green, Spencer Brown Founder and Inventor of the Eco Mattress Bag

We just returned from another camping trip with the "Clam". As previous comments that were made, as long as you close the zippered door behind you each time, the bugs should be minimal. There is a flap at the bottom of each panel, including the door, that helps to keep bugs out as well. We are thrilled with the ease of set up! Also, we ordered the wind/privacy panels...they work very well. The mesh screening seems very sturdy and is fine enough to keep bugs out.

If you cut the bottom to fit your door frame it will keep majority of the bugs out, but there isn't anything sealing it to the bottom since you need the flaps to be able to move when you go in and out of the screen. I would still highly recommend this product, it's kept bugs out, allows our dog to go in and out of the house and is made of great quality.

No holes per say, but it does have small clearances between the lid and box so that the lid can open and close easily. It is not airtight, and it shouldn't be from what I understand. That said we have no problem with bugs, but our house is quite bug-free. Good luck.

No bugs can get in- very durable. I use mine for blankets--don't recommend stacking them. They are the best I have found so far.

No but it does keep the bugs out. It fits tight so the kids don't like to open and close the zippers all the time.

I don't think the holes would stop bugs... But a bat won't be able to (or want to) go thru the holes. Take a look at the picture - the roll is about 4 or 5 inches wide, the mesh is like a kitchen scrubby pad. The idea is that critters don't like to touch/taste this stuff - that's what keeps them out. In use, you stuff wads of this stuff in the hole(s) that critters are using as entry points - after which, the critters will be strongly discouraged.

The holes are small enough to keep the fruit flies out. This product is definitely worth the purchase.

Mine is loose too. I guess the thing is to make sure the zipper is closed properly. They can't eat through the material. And it's not to kill the bugs really, it's more protection against them. Because Bed bugs can go up to 6 months without feeding and still live.

No there is not...it is a good spot to store gear in less than ideal weather. There are tie downs at the bottom to help keep the bugs out. However, the two tie downs near the zippered entrance seem to be not very helpful as it makes getting through the door difficult. Minor issue though.

Yes. The front is zippered and can roll up. The floor of the porch is simply a tarp and does not attach the the tent so there is potential for bugs to intrude but there is quite a bit of overlap so bugs should stay to a minimum.

The door open with a zipper in the middle of the section, as long as it is not left wide open after enter/exit, it will be fine. We used ours at the beach and that zipper is the only thing I worried about breaking, kids were coming in and out, but it has held up great. Such a fine mesh that no bugs get through once the door is zipped shut.

I never had problems with bugs coming in. It's not an air tight seal, but they way vents to the window you can leave the screen on, so no bugs when I used it. In fact the way it connects to the window for venting was the one thing I didn't have a problem with.

The zippered pillow protector will protect the pillow from bed bugs entering it & infesting it. A regular pillow case by itself will not. I do put a regular pillow case over my zippered pillow protector so that I can change & wash it (otherwise oils from your hair & face will dirty it after while.) I also have a zippered anti-bed bug mattress protector (I put a big piece of clear tape at the top of the zipper, just in case) & climb up interceptors for my bed posts. The bugs cannot get in & will be easier to catch & kill if you see them hanging out underneath or on the bed. I do not have a box spring but if I did I would encase it like my mattress. I got a metal bed frame. I got lots of tips from Jeff White at bedbuger.com. Good luck to you. Bed bugs can cause a lot of anxiety but you can get rid of them.
