Are the screen holes small enough to contain gnats?

Only way to kill an insect with this is to throw it at one and hope its hits it.

Some nats are too small to catch. But catches a lot. I have two one inside and one out. They do a pretty good job.

I have mine outside on my screen porch and they keep the squirrels away. Squirrels were destroying my screen. Not sure about any other bugs. It doesn't bother the little lizards that live outside. I live in Florida.

I dont think so, if it does catch gnats its very little. Ive had it for almost 2 mos and i havent used the brush to to clean it yet. havent had to.

There are small ventilation holes. I guess its possible. Bed bugs can get into just about anything. Ugh!

That was one of my main problems. This product seems to do the trick. I have them set up around my houseplants and haven't seen any gnats since.

The holes are less than 1/4" in diameter, probably more like 1/8". I guess a really small caterpillar could find its way out of there, but we have had numerous bugs, little snakes even, in there and so far nothing had escaped out of it. It's a pretty cool little bug box, that's lasted a long time now and our 5 year old loves it.

So pretty much anything can get out of the wholes at the top...I recommend gluing a little bit of screen to the plexi-glass to cover them up. The kids like to catch Lightning Bugs in them, and they do get out if you do not do this.

The screen is a barrier. It keeps out criters you don't want crawling around inside your home. If properly installed it should be able to keep out any insect known.

Yes, there is a hole on top. It would be tough, but not impossible for moths to get in.

we have had no problems with bugs so I would say yes. It is a tight seal. I use a trash bag and I also clean out the can once a week. If needed you could spray the inside with bug spray but I personally do not like that stuff in my house so if you do spray...spray very lightly around the rim. Also, I believe gnats are attracted to fruit and food. I do not let that sit in can. Hope this helps.

The grid wires are spaced about 5/32", or about .150" apart. The bug has to contact two adjacent wires to work. The smallest ones, as in tiny gnats or no-see-ums, may slip through.

I wouldn't use it for that b/c as mentioned in my review, it only has the bars that go across and they're spaced about 1/2 " apart making it very easy to miss smaller insects. If anything this is good for the huge ones. A lot of these have a mesh that covers the entire area which doesn't allow any bugs to escape. I'd recommend that instead.

yes but the bottom has small holes, i put pkg. tape on the holes and that keeps out the pests. you have bugs i have cats that like bread.

There is one hole in the top of the ball like unit that is about 3/4". Farther down inside the hole is quite small and has slanted sides - apparently so they gnats cannot get out after they go down where the fluid is. I know that sounds rather complex but this little gadget really works.

There is a hole for hangers. I got some of the cedar hanger discs to put at the top to ward off the bugs, hopefully.

I'm not completely sure. It works well by saturating the soil and prevents future gnats.

The lid does not fit "tightly" but, in my opinion, is adequate for keeping bugs out.
