Is this airtight? We get ants if we leave food out for more than 30 minutes unless the container is airtight.

I don't know for sure but I don't think would be airtight. I have never had an ant problem with the product, however, but I only use it periodically. I don't use it every day.

I don't think it is 100% airtight. I never had ants when I used it but I truly don't believe it to be airtight

I think ants could get in it if they were around. Plus, if the cat left any food for a little while, the food in the open slot would sit out, which would attract ants if you already had them. (I haven't had a problem, but I don't have ants. And I only use the product while away for a day or two, not on a daily basis.)

Be sure to read directions on pkg. first. I have 3 cats, so I put them under the stove and under the fridge. Ants were so bad that I had to put my cats food dishes in baking dishes full of water to keep the ants out of their food. I put 2 under the fridge and same under the stove. Within 2 days the ants had dropped off significantly, but over the following days there were some stragglers, so I put another trap under each appliance. I was able to take my cats dishes out of the water and just set them on the floor and no ants. I love them and will be replacing them as directed and hopefully not sooner. 5 stars. Good luck.

No, it is not airtight. If u pack anything that contains liquid, it will leak.

Its not airtight. I have put scones inside wrapped in a towel they will dry out but slower than on the counter

damiboo, I'd have to say there is no way for ants to get in, so long as you don't let any get in while the lid is off. Mine seems to be airtight when lid is screwed on, so ant proof also. If you are storing the vault where no pets or kids will be roaming, you could spray a bug killing product around, but not touching the vault to make a anti-insect perimeter (picture a castle with a moat around it).

I don't believe it is airtight. The lid has a silicone gasket that slides up and down when you open and close, so I don't see how it could be airtight. I agree with the second answer, it is tight but not air tight.

mine is sitting outside on my deck and no, I haven't noticed or seen any ants in it. the lid has a tight seal!

I don't store dry food in mine. I use it for office supplies. The seal isn't air proof.

I don't think the lid closes tight enough to keep moisture or bugs out. I have several items I need to keep dry but I store them in airtight containers in the box.

I have not had a problem with ants. I would assume if you keep the little opening on the side closed you would not have a problem.

I store mine in the freezer in airtight containers. Works OK, and it should prevent all nasty critters. Mine hasn't gotten soggy or anything after a few months of this.BTW, I recommend NOT buying this much masa unless you're sure that your needs are awfully high. I'm regretting buying so much. 50 pounds is way more than I expected.

Once you open a bait container and leave the cap on it will last for months. it does kill the ants. you may have to apply more than once if there is a lot of ants.

Hey hey�❗️Well, I wouldn't say this is an air tight container. Top fits pretty securely in my opinion but not blocking out air completely though. No seal of any kind. Just good coverage for a good pan. I think you'll like it. I so kindly hope this helps u. Toodle-loo�

It doesn't always look like it is attracting ants. They are supposed to carry it back to their nest. And it sometimes seems they are gone and then they are back. So it often takes more than one dose. Be patient and see what happens. I don't know about the shelf life but I would doubt it is bad after a year.

I pour it in. The container seems to be well sealed if the top is screwed on all the way as the food stays fresh, has that just opened aroma and the manufacturer states it is ant proof. I don't use the scoop that came with the container as it is rather flimsy but the wide top opening makes it easy to scoop the correct amount.

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

Mr. Bento is made to retain the interior temperature for up to 8 hours, so I would say it would be fine. If you're worried about any nasties getting in anyhow there are little antibacterial sheets you can place on top of your food that are made expressly for that purpose. Personally speaking I've never had any issues with my food getting contaminated, so I'm pretty at ease.
