Does this box keep the bugs outside?

It doesn't seal tightly, if that's what mean. The lid fits well, but it's cloth just like the rest of the box so I wouldn't call it bug-proof.

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.

We kept front open until it got windy then we closed the front and it kept sand out so I think it would keep bugs out too.

I own this box and the lifetime extra large box. They are strong enough to stand on and dry to rain. They could sit in one place for years with the interior items appropriately wrapped. MREs in the garage or back porch should be just fine. Dried beans would need other protection from tiny bugs.

yes, but I have only had this box assembled and outdoors for a few weeks. it also seems to do a great job of keeping out water as it is dry inside and we have had lots of rain

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.

Yes...it has a lip around the lid that overlaps the box which provides protection from moisture. I have used it outside in the weather for months now with no problems.

no I would use it outside only, if you use indoors you will have dead bugs falling all over the floor.

As an electronic device, you will need to keep it dry. If your outside box protects it from direct moisture, it should be fine. Mine is in my unheated barn. It does well in heat and freezing cold (dormant).

We do put a sticker on the outside of the box to alert the mail carrier so that they are careful with the package so as to try to protect the insects. We can leave it off, if you want. Just make sure to leave us a message when ordering and we'll leave it off.

I have owned my deck box going on two years. I keep my furniture cushions in them all year around. So far I have had no water leakage where I have had wet or mildew cushions. I also have had no bugs in the box. However during the spring and summer as a precautionary measure I spray an insect repellant on the deck area under the box 2-3 times during this period. I never have had a problem. Hope this helps.

We've only had the box for a couple of months, but we haven't noticed any bugs or spiders yet. and it kept the water out during the downpours we've had.

No it just has a screen to keep out bugs and critters. Have noticed any cold air coming in.

I know, it's just the bat box. But I did research and found that they need to be placed high and near water. I hung mine facing south and didn't purchase any scent..But it worked find and I have a nice group of bats and a lot less bugs..

I cannot answer for the two raters. For me, I live in an apartment. I have had no issues with bugs. I bought a bigger bag and have it in my living room. Still no bugs.
