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'm no bug expert, but since I think fleas tend to jump rather than crawl, they may not often jump into the assembled traps, but I'm sure you'd still catch some. If you don't have to worry about kids or pets getting into them, you could leave the traps open to increase your chances. But if you don't have pets, you probably wouldn't have fleas, so...

If the bugs float to the bottom, it will get them. I have a crazy millipede problem in my back yard and they all seem to like to jump in the pool and die. That is what prompted me to get the auto pool cleaner in the first place. This canister traps them.

Even though spider mites are not listed on the container I would be surprised if it wasnt effective against them. Thats the best answer I can give you.

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.

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

I have found 2 dead, small spiders inside my back sliding door. Not sure if it was because of a line of boric acid that I placed orif it was from the riddex. Sorry I couldnt give you a better answer, but its a truthful answer. We have plenty of bugs in florida and the Riddex seems to work on all the other bugs.

For my unit I didn't have to take out the screen to install it. So, never had a problem with bugs. However, I just double checked my unit, and from what I can tell there are no gaps or cracks large enough for bugs to come through, unless they're ants maybe.

The glass is not open on the bottom. I have had no problems with bugs getting in.

I installed one of these units today. The "amazing new curtain feature" leaves 3-6mm gaps between the top and bottom edges of the curtain and the rails. That's MORE than enough for stink bugs to walk right into your house. Sure enough, within hours I had a room full of stinkbugs. I think a read somewhere that the inventor is from Maryland. That's a dude who oughta know better!

Bugs will NOT get it it. It has a tight tight (not like suction air tight) & it has a filter built in the lid. It easy to clean too.

I did not put anything in the container--instructions did not mention this. However, I have not trapped the FIRST carpenter bee in the trap. It did not work for me and I believe I followed instructions. There have been carpenter bees around my shop for years another product has helped to lessen the amount returning each year but they are still a problem.

Sure the water is in the can for such a short time I doubt that there would be ant problem. If you find a problem return it.

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.

Absolutely not. These critters don't live in the walls of your house, near the frequencies emitted by the device along the wires. Nor will they affect critters in your crawl space if you have one, away from wiring, or spiders up on the outside of the walls/ceilings. But they've kept the bugs out of my house for 16+ years, and I haven't had to spray.

No bugs can get in- very durable. I use mine for blankets--don't recommend stacking them. They are the best I have found so far.

Yes, supposedly bugs are attracted to the color, go to it, then get stuck on the goo and can't get unstuck. The goo is very effective.
