I would love to try these bags as a way of preventing fabric pests from damaging any more clothing. Do you see these keeping bugs out?

I can't say for sure, but I believe so. My clothes bag became almost as Stiff as a board after the air was sucked out.

Yes, I haven't had any problems with the bags.I used to have moths in my house an it kept the moths out.

Great! I didn't realize that. I will have to look into that further too. It does help keep the bugs away.

Anisa, I have never had a problem with MOTH, but I can tell you these bags close very tightly. I am very happy with them. Evelyn

If these are made of the same material as those " silk" teabags, I heard they are not safe to use. , I will follow up if I can find a link. Won't kill you immediately of course but who needs food stuff soaked in more plastic?[ This answers feature should allow us to subscribe to questions.]

Yes, there are holes at each end where the hanging bar goes through the top of the bag. I have had my clothes in the bag for over three years and have not found any pests within the bags. I also draped dryer sheets over the bar at each end to see if it helped to repel them.

Yes, they are closed at the bottom with a seam. The seam is not strong enough to hold any weight, so don't put other items (shoes, etc.) in the bottom of the bag, but they close at the bottom so dust and insects don't fly or crawl in.

I have not ever had that problem. I also have cedar blocks in the bags with my wool clothes, however. If your closets are harboring moths and larvae you may need to fumigate first before just using the bags alone.

MAYBE OF YOU SLEEP NAKID WITHOUT A SLEEPING BAG, Ive only used this in the cold month so I really do not know. I would imagine they cannot penetrate the liner & sleeping bag & clothes.

As I remember about a day. I really like mine. I don't have any flying or crawling insect. I think I it was a few hours before I saw a beetle-looking insect crawl out of my closet. I put one in there because I didn't want moths eating my wool sweaters I think it deters rodents too. Missie

Definitely will keep the fruit flies out. But some are saying that they can crawl underneath, where the bottom of these touch the tabletop...I had no problems with insects getting in though.

Absolutely. The fabric is really tightly woven mesh so the holes are tiny unlike typical bags. I wash sweaters in here, tights and panty hose, sweaters, lacy items etc; all come out fine. You'll love these.

We bought them to trap bugs inside the bins and them worked. I assume because they are plastic that they would keep water out. I actually did not see them, bought them for my mother at another location

Yes. It will keep mites and bugs out. The only holes are the ones where the bag connects to the top of the bar. This is a great product for storage.

Hello, Since the clothing is totally enclosed in the high capacity nylon, poly coated bags, they will protect you clothing as well as anything. Here is a quote from the University of Kentucky agricultural department: Neither the clothes moth nor carpet beetle larva can digest cellulosic fibers (such as cotton, linen, or rayon) or synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic) so they generally leave these alone. I hope this answers your question. Regards, John Harrington, Garment Racks Etc

Yes. I've used garbage bags too, tied up tightly. Just so long as the bedbugs can't get out.

I really don't know, I haven't had them long enough yet unfortunately. I never really had a big moth problem, I was trying to prevent any moths from getting at the clothing, so I don't know that I'm going to be a good resource for giving an assessment on this. I think pretty much anything would lose effectiveness after about a year, though maybe not actual traditional white moth balls - but those are full of strong-smelling chemicals.

No. just enough odor that it keeps the moth's away! It really isn't noticeable on the clothes that are stored there.
