Is it rodent-proof? It looks like it would be.

We live next to a wildlife refuge and are inundated with fox, raccoons, etc. and have never had a problem. The latch system that closes it is similar to what might be on a toolbox - you hook a metal loop over at protrusion and them push down the lever to secure - don't think even the clevest raccoon could manage that and the plastic is thick and off the ground so they'd have a hard time chewing through. We've had ours for about 2 years (even order a second one) and have never had a problem.

Absolutely rodent-proof .... but not grandson proof. That's not a negative .... they are interested in the transformation ... waste to nutrients.

Yes. This thing is made of thick, thick plastic or some kind of composition. It is tricky to assemble.

Not that I know of. I have not seen any rodents for one year of putting it in my outside storage unit.

I doubt it very much. To be sure, I would write or Email the Company. You don't want to leave this stuff lying about outside as it will poison many other animals, not just rodents.

The plastic covers the bottom, and there's a piece of folded cardboard to help it stay flat. The holes in the plastic that the frame goes through are a little wider than the frame pole, and bugs could conceivably crawl through, but I don't think mice could.

The box has to be assembled. There will be small gaps between the box and lid. It is possible you could get ants in there, but I don't think bees or wasps could get in. Being plastic a mouse could chew its way in. Mine has been outside for some time and there has been no intrusion. However, I wouldn't try keeping food in it that would attract mice and ants as I'm sure they would find a way in.It could only be rodent and bug proof if it was a hermetically sealed steel box.

I assume that it will work on rats as well as the mice and squirrels that it's worked on in my attic.

We didn't wind up using this but it will keep mice and rodents out, believe some insects might be able to get in though.

While I can't guarantee that it is rodent proof, I will tell you that our friends 70lb lab tried to chew her way into and hardly made a dent.

The Sterilite four drawer unit is more secure against rodents then your typical dresser. There are some spaces simply because there has to be to allow the drawers to move in and out, but this product is so well put together that it would be harder for rodents to get in.

I purchased it for my two pet rats and thus far I've no rusting issues with the metal bottom and only time will tell.

I'm pretty sure that it is not water or chew proof, but if you could prevent those two things from happening I'm pretty sure that it would work for that purpose.

It fits good - I don't think a mouse could get in there unless they chew through the bin or cover

It would contain a rat, but I think he could eat through the netting very easily

No idea, I got mine for two rats. But they love it and they weren't kidding when they said it's chew-proof.

Yes, it is a hard plastic, very resistent.But the cage is small for 2 rats.

No rodents in the 2 yrs I have owned mine. I keep it up on concrete blocks so I can drain the compost tea out
