Can bugs crawl into the container?

not until it starts cracking on the sides. which it will do if left outside

Definitely not, as long as you latch it. It's air tight when the latch is on. I have a lot of spiders, flies, and tiny gnats where I live, and never once have they gotten into the food, even when they try.

I don't believe so, so long as you latch it shut each time (a simple process) - latching forms an airtight seal all around. Of course, if your contents already have bugs in them, then the seal will keep the bugs from getting out :-)

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.

Yes, they can crawl in all kinds of ways, actually. The key is to have the right mix of materials. When my compost is mostly food scraps, then we get critters. When I add more green or brown material - yard clippings, leaves, etc. - then they go away. This bin is a just a heavy duty (HEAVY) sheet of plastic with holes in it. No bottom, no top. Included are 5 fasteners that easily applied or removed. It stands up better than I expected. Over time, the compost within the bin will form itself into a 'cake' - start the pile with yard clippings, leaves and other green/brown matter to do this - it will look like a bird's nest. When the fasteners are removed, the compost remains in the cake form. You can use a shovel at this point. I had 2 bins side by side, but ended up taking one down. I removed the fasteners and shoveled the matter into the main bin - it was cool to see how all of the matter I had dumped in had become rich, dark soil within 6mos. If you want fast-producing, smellier compost then you will want to purchase a barrel of some sort. I prefer this open air bin which allows for airflow and takes much longer to decompose all of the matter. When the pile gets too wet, I add some paper shred. When it is too dry, I add food scraps or spray the waterhose on it. Last night, there were too many flies b/c of the food scraps so I dumped the vacuum cleaner canister on it plus a bunch of dryer lint. Tell your friends you have a compost pile and they will gladly give you food scraps. A co-worker brings me her weekly food scraps. My brother brings a 5 gallon bucket of food scraps every 2 weeks to dump. A baker friend gave me 8 dozens egg shells. I'm going to let my compost keep building another 6-9mos before I start using it in my garden.

The ants can't get in because they have to crawl through the water but the bees can fly in, so I think you will still have a bee problem. Try to google it.

Not really sure about your situation, but, being confined to a power chair, Hoveround, I shot a little Iinvict behind my appliances and under the sink. It's like a fishing lure, the bugs found it. I hope this will help and you don't have to move a lot of stuff.

Sorry, only one bug at a time. However, I am very happy with how well this gadget works. Was never disappointed in it. Even when the spider was curled up in a ceiling corner, it grabbed the bug on the first try. No matter how fast the spider was running, I got it on first try. Can't stand bugs.

Yes. It has a very fine screen that will collect them. If the bugs are still alive I guess it would be possible they could craw out though.

It is more for 1 at a time. If the bugs are not moving and very close together multiple could be possible, but that would be quite the rarity.

I don't know if you mean bugs in the general sense of crawly type of infective type but I have had no problem with this brand of popcorn and prefer to take chance against bugs rather then pesticides, chemical additives etc... My opinion. I eat a lot of this popcorn daily and I have nothing but good to say about it. Maybe the health inspectors should focus on GMO's and more important issues the natural. Think about what you put in your body, think about the huge and growing cancer epidemic, do ya think it might have something to do with chemical ingestion???

I have a very good experience with these and have never seen bugs in any of my dry goods. It is possible if dry good sit too long and there's moisture that things can get in when you open it and close it that then plant larva that grow. People have to remember that they go in and out of the container then I was can get in and out as well when they open the container

I haven't had any bugs. The seal is tight, and the holes in the lid have the filter behind them. I live in Las Vegas where Sept temps are still 90-100*, but the warmth has not attracted bugs.

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.

Yes, but the good news is that spiders, centipedes, sow bugs and all of the other creepy things step on it too, and they can't get off. I enjoy replacing the old sticky ones and seeing all of the bugs that would have been in my garage. It makes me feel good to put out a new clean one and know that anything that tries to cross it will wind up in my garbage container.

They do not let bugs or debris into the structure. They are completely mesh enclosed, like the sides. They are about 2 inches high and run the edge of the structure. They may let water in, if you were in a wet area, however I have not tested that.

While anything is possible, I would say it would be very hard for bugs to get inside this can when it is closed. This can has a very straight, tight seal. Great trash can.

No, they're completely passive. Put them in corners and around your baseboards. Bugs always go around the baseboards.

Yes,its amazing.No way bugs or insects can come in unless or otherwise anything u put in has bugs already.I'm very happy with it.
