When its completely closed, how sealed is the unit? In basement as storage I don't want to find that a spider made its home there 6 months from now.

it is not hermetically sealed, but i don't think spiders will get in . i am happy with the unit. Good for the $ .

spiders can make their way into this.. It's just zippered shut and made very cheap. Doesn't hold much weight either.I wouldn't buy it again

There are definitely small openings near the legs were a spider could crawl in. I'm not sure, you may be able to seal off the leg openings with tape though.

All sides, top and bottom are closed--PLUS the zipper closes the entry area. We had ours through the summer with no concerns such as you express!

1st, you should check with the manufacturer of the gun, recommendations do vary. But I often leave mine in if it isn't used up. Typically most weapons will leak over time, so don't expect to get full usage if it has been stored very long.

I just added a picture of the spider assembly. Hope this will help in answering your question.

If your basement's temperature is constant and it's dry in there, you can store the product for about 12 months. Kind regards !

I close mine up every night while it is dry. We put ours away for the winter. Easy to do. I should tell you, one of the cables broke shortly after we put it up. Amazon not Aleko Paid For The replacement.

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.

I get spiders in the box. Maybe I don't shut it tightly enough or there might be small cracks where the lid doesn't meet the box well. No way cats or rodents will move the lid. It is a solid piece of heavy plastic.

I have mine in the basement but i would not recommend to leave outside for long periods of time. It could risk getting rusty.

This would be perfect for a wolf spider. However, two things. If using a light use only a very small bulb rated for the hood for this or a heat mat and areas for shelter. Secondly make sure the foam is sealed against the back and the slider for sensors at the top is shut all the way . it may also be worthwhile to put some tape on the edges of the glass door when not in use. I have had two very small spiders that could not fit through the front vents squeeze the glass door open and escape. Other than that this would be fantastic for a wolf spider

Lol. U don't need to feed it persay. It attracts bugs you didn't know you had :) I live in alaska, it's winter and it's growing faster than ever. Inside and finding spiders.

I would find somewhere else unless you enjoy the zapping sound. Also, it will draw bugs to the area in general, so it should be away from where you sit, windows, etc. In general you hang them far away from the house or areas you hang out. Mine is below the overhang of a detached garage. (On a timer so that it comes on for a few hours every night) Line of sight doesn't matter, but you'll want to empty it periodically, so don't make it too difficult to get it back down.

It clearly says it on there not to leave it out. But I have no where to store it so I have left it out for 5 months, but I also live in California where we have no seasons. I am sure for the price you pay, you probably want it to last so keep it in the garage :)

It last a long time in the house and I am not sure about basement except to say weather the basementis damp or not. If dry it would last quiet awhile. I use it in my screen room and it gets cool and hot livingin Florida but have not had to replace it in the last 3 months. I really like the product. I never tried it to repel squirrels only mice. For outside critters you want one that has Fox urine in it.

We don't use ours very often so I had to go see if it was ok-we just bought and had only used once. However, it is fine. I greased it up just like I do my iron skillet after use before putting away. I happened to have some non-stick spray that I drowned it in! We store in the basement. I did see a couple tiny spots that rubbed right off-which was probably a spot I just didn't saturate well. The last time we used it was the last week of August-so that is how long it has been stored in the basement. Hope this helps............

Don't know because we used both cans after we poserwashed in the area where spiders have their parties and babies. No spiders came back so it must have something gross to spiders. Stuff works.

I haven't found any bugs in ours, but it hasn't been long and we go in and out of it frequently. Also, it's on a patio, so we don't get tons of bugs there anyway. All that said, it's definitely not bug-proof. So, I would say, no, it doesn't seal shut, so therefore, bugs could definitely get in if they wanted to.
