Looks like bag has opening at the top for clothes hangers. Does anything prevent moths (or their larvae) from entering the bag through that opening?

I have not ever had that problem. I also have cedar blocks in the bags with my wool clothes, however. If your closets are harboring moths and larvae you may need to fumigate first before just using the bags alone.

There is a small opening at the top, but I have not had a problem with any moths entering the bag.

yes it does have a small opening.. nothing to prevent months to get in there.. but frankly if your clothes are clean, dry and stored well.. hopefully they will find somewhere else to go.

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.

We don't really get bugs where I keep mine, so I can't really say that the absence of bugs means its bug proof. It sounds like the real question is whether the bag closes 100%. The answer to that is that while it closes pretty securely, pretty much any little opening could be enough to let something in, depending on what that something is. There is a little space where the zipper meets the top...but it's tiny - and it's covered with fabric so that the zipper "tucks" up underneath it. So if you're concerned about larger bugs, this is probably a safe bet. If you're concerned about little bugs, such as those the size of fruit flies, etc, I wouldn't say it's 100% bug proof. Hope this helps!

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.

I do not know for sure either.... I had the same problem as Chris67 .... invasion of moths from birdseed... ( when you buy birdseed, keep it in the freezer to kill moths) I am not sure if the closet moths are attracted to the bait in this trap. http://www.dreamingearth.com/catalog/pc/Clothes-Moth-Traps-Set-of-Two-23p416.htm

No holes. After putting the clothes hangers on the rod and zipping it closed there are two plastic flaps that velcro across the top completely closing the bag over the rod. Looks tight to me. I put a cedar sheet in as well but that was to counteract the unpleasant plastic smell. It worked. Might deter bugs as well.

To add to my previous response: The top has an overhang and the bag stuffs up under the overhang. Great!

Dear client, the front flap is closed with two snap fasteners ,which are under the decorations (belt fasteners).So when you pick up the bag by handle ,the flap won't open.Hope it is of help.There is someting wrong with the bag's description online and we have corrected them.Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I just found this message. Sorry if its late...Moth balls are for silk. To keep the moths from eating it.I did not notice any strange smell. It could be where it was stored.

I have dealt with persistent pantry moths that find their pesky little selves into every single crevice that can be found. I find that they tend to like nesting in the rims and ridges of jars. While these are NOT airtight I do use them for some frequently used items and will use additional saran wrap for protection. What I do like about this is that it is clear and you will probably be able to see the pantry moths nesting in the rims if it comes to that. For other items (and items that are not used often) I would definitely go with BALL or KERR mason jars.

If you have it zipped up tight I couldn't see how moths could get in unless they chew through the outside...

There is no need to open the bag. The material is like that of a tea bag so the odor seeps out. We use them in our RV every winter. No mice and it smells nice. After using it for the winter season, we then take them and put them in the underneath storage of our RV during the summer "just in case"! Also put a couple this year in a storage unit our daughter rented - we'll see how that works!

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

There are NO zippers on this. The drawers slide in and out but are not fastened to anything. There are basically a box with a handle that is open pion the top. The upper doors close with magnets. They are very strong and keep the top doors shut. There is no way to keep bugs out. It is not that tightly constructed. It is very nice looking and well constructed, but there are a lot of slots and gaps where things could crawl in.

There is a hole for hangers. I got some of the cedar hanger discs to put at the top to ward off the bugs, hopefully.
