Air tight grain storage a must?

Homer buckets are $2.78 each and the matching lids with the o-ring in them are 98 cents. Helluva deal

We live in the woods and consequently have all sorts of critters hanging around. The squirrels chewed through a rubbermaid trash can to get at our bird feed so I invested in a few galvanized trash bins for the grain. I keep big sacks in their original bags but put specialty grains in gallon freezer ziplocs. A bungee holds the lid on tight enough to keep everything out. No problems in two years of use...
