Can bugs get inside this can when its closed?

I don't see how they might. The lid sits down pretty snug. And so far it has held to any and all attempts made by ourvery smart Standard Poodle who has gotten into all others. Hope the helps!

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.

Well, didn't have that problem, but it's completed sealed when the door is closed. The plastic is solid and I seriously doubt anything could get inside with a cutting tool. If you have very smart rats, that could be a problem.

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.

No. There are holes along most of the unit to allow the "compost tea" to drain and be collected. However, I have not have a problem with bugs.

Probably not the way your thinking. It's closed on all sides but the door side. The door it's self is a flap no zippers to keep everything out but so many things you can do, use duct tape, add extra bug screen, add a zipper, etc

"Can" you? I don't know. "Should" you? No. If you have that many bugs inside your home you should call a professional exterminator.

It isn't sealed tight but I have had no problems with bugs in it at all. We did have standing water in the sink because my husband was letting dishes soak, the nats surrounded the sink but not anywhere near the can.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is No matter what, you're going to have to open something to get in to it, and the potential for bugs to get in will exist. That being said, I have visible swarms of Mosquitos at my house, and they do not get inside from our quick zips in and out. Our 75lb dog likes to "let" herself out as well by crawling under the zipper, which invariably opens it up a bit, and even then I've never noticed an increased bug count. This thing is great, can't reccomend it highly enough!

At The end of the zipper there appears to be a gap, with no extra flap on the inside. My guess would be that insects could get in. I don't know for sure, though, since there was not a moth problem where I used these storage bags. Good luck in your search.

I never had problems with bugs coming in. It's not an air tight seal, but they way vents to the window you can leave the screen on, so no bugs when I used it. In fact the way it connects to the window for venting was the one thing I didn't have a problem with.

Yes, at the base of the spout there is a small vent hole just big enough to do the job. Otherwise when the can is closed up, it is airtight; probably should avoid overfilling on a warm day for this reason.

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

Hi Roseanna! I placed mine into an airtight container for storage for precisely the reason you cite: anti-vermin. I actually framed the bag! Living in Kaua'i meant a strong likelihood of bugs! Another tip: I placed the jute bag of lentils in the freezer for a week and then brought it back to room temperature before placing the lentils into the air tight container. Since then we have moved to New Zealand to live and the lentils are in perfect condition.

If you're talking about catching one after another, but leaving them in the container, yes. You can suck up one bug, re-compress the chamber, and then suck up more bugs. The first one will not be able to get out. I have done this twice. Then you can empty them all at once.

This is a nice sized box for outdoor furniture seat cushions or whatever else you decide to put in it but it is not air or completely watertight, so yes bugs can get in.
