are there any openings at all that field mice can get in ?

there really isn't any holes. Just if they are able to get lid up a little and slide in that way. Little boogers are good at finding any little spot aren't they.

No it is a well constructed unit that should seal out field mice when the lid id closed (Although I would never underestimate the ability of a field mouse).

There are a couple tiny holes on the door, but I recommend you add more. I used a drill bit about the size of the 4 that are already there and added a bunch all around the trap. Plus, it will only aid in the mouse smelling the PB faster if you drill some at the opposite end of the door.

In my experience, mice can get into anything. If you have/are afraid you may have mice, you should get one of those gizmos that plugs into an electric outlet and emits ultrasonic rays. The mice don't like the sound. They same to work in our camp in Maine, but, again, I don't think anything is foolproof when it comes to rodents. Sorry.

No! There is no openings for insect to get though. Only light can get through.

Anywhere on the inside is okay. I have success using a small amount of peanut butter in the channel that is beside the entrances. That way the mouse can get all the way through the entrance and is trapped by the time it starts to eat on the bait. Otherwise, the tail may provide a means of escape. Also, I have had some escapes because the entrance ramps on some models come slightly bent. You should check that before you bait the trap. If the bait keeps disappearing with no mice trapped they are escaping.

Not that I know of. We have raccoons and squirrels in the area and I haven't seen any evidence of them getting in there.

You can if you open it right but the top just opens and they are all right there inside. Works great though! We would catch several at once and go release them in a field far away

Yes, there's a solid door that you can slide into place so they can't go in or out. It works very well.

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

I wish they would answer this question. All of my outdoor houses have a second opening. I like this but would be worried if my cat was trapped so I will skip this product. We have racoons here and they can get into any space so be trapped by a predator is a real concern.

Yes, a large mouse can fit in. You will likely need tongs to extricate the mouse once dead. No, the cat is safe as there is a slanted partition well within the entrance and before the metal plates.

The lids have a tight fit. There is no way rodents can get into the barrel unless you leave the lids off.

I think you could safely use it for that. No openings for mice to get in. I've had mine on an exposed deck all winter (near Buffalo NY). Not even a drop of water inside.

No traps-I have too many small animals that could potentially get hurt and since it repels mice they aren't around to get trapped. They work very well , I use no poisons on this farm so was glad when I found these. I use plenty if the space is large be sure you put out enough, I find the herbal smell is pleasant

I don't know how a rodent could get in it, unless it chewed a hole in it. I have not had a problem.

I would say it depends on how tightly you wrap the tree. I don't wrap mine so tight that the plastic is pressed up against the bark and as a result, a mouse couldn't get to it. The holes are too small for them to enter. I have no idea what a vole is but if it's similar in size, same logic applies.

The box has to be assembled. There will be small gaps between the box and lid. It is possible you could get ants in there, but I don't think bees or wasps could get in. Being plastic a mouse could chew its way in. Mine has been outside for some time and there has been no intrusion. However, I wouldn't try keeping food in it that would attract mice and ants as I'm sure they would find a way in. It could only be rodent and bug proof if it was a hermetically sealed steel box.
