Does the lid fit tight enough to keep our fruit flies?

Yes, as long as the lid is kept down, it is tight enough to keep them out.,

It depends on the neck size of the bottle you are using. For a standard bottle used for olive oil it fits very snug. Make sure that the hinged flip top is closed when not in use.

It has a little "flap" lid. That doesn't fit tight at all. It just rests on the top. Don't know how persistent fruit flies are though so I any answer that exactly. But I would wager to say that they probably could get in if they really wanted what was inside.

You know I'm not sure. I would think you could bend it slightly if it didn't fit perfectly. It seemed a pretty square fit. It just lays over the surface and held with there with gravity.

I bought the lid to ensure gnats or flies don't get into the crock. Maybe that isn't an issue, but I'm funny like that.

the lid does not need to be tight. You don't want to have to wrestle the lid off. This is a great ash can. We couldn't be happier with it.

No. The lid does not fit tightly enough to prevent leaking. The lid is made to slide back and forth somewhat easily.

No, the lid dose not fit tight however they're nice. I brought 4. 3 medium for candy looks really cute on the kitchen counter and a large for cookies which stays fresh a week max... I'll probably try the plastic wrap. I hope this was helpful.

No. It's stainless steel, so it shouldn't rust out, either, like a galvanized garbage can might. However, neither does it seal tightly; fruit flies have become such a problem that I'm considering returning it.

Yes, mine does. There is a stiffness to the lid so it even stays in position halfway open too!

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.

As long as you push the lid into groove, it stays on very tight. I am very pleased with mine. I got them about 6-7 months and had no problem.

The lid I bought does fit, but it does have to be pushed a bit to make it do so. Hope this answer is o.k. for you

These bins don't seal tightly. The lid flap just lays on there. Smaller bugs could get in.

No. The lid fits very securely to the base of the can.I've used both "simple human "trash bags as well as generic ones from Sam's club and never had any problems with either one.

The lid fits tight but not sure if it will keep out the moths. I have trail mix in mine at our office so moths are not a problem. But I do have aprroblem with moths at home. Get rid of all the cardboard boxes and use theses traps. Pro-Pest Pantry Moth Traps - 6 Ready to Use Pre-baited Traps (3 Packs of 2 Traps)

No, I don't think the joints are tight enough to prevent fruit flies from escaping.

I think it would....I have not seen fruit flies in my house since I have bought these...I do not like leaving plates of food exposed for more than 5 min unattended so I love them( mesh food covers) I got 2 of them

I use my tanks for terrariums rather than aquariums so they do not need to be tight. My tanks were used so I am not sure exactly what brand they are but this lid works for my purposes

Not that I've seen. Honestly I'm not impressed with the lid. It's not tight fitting at all.
