bugproof
Sealed against pests
Bugproof means resistant or impervious to insects.
A bugproof screen keeps mosquitoes out; bugproof packaging protects food from pantry moths.
In computing, bugproof describes software designed to be free of errors or glitches: We tested the code until it was bugproof.
The term often implies aspiration rather than certainty—few things are truly bugproof.
