Do yurts keep out pests?

[TSRalex]

Just reading in the glossary of Rainier Yurts:

Pursing Cable: The stainless steel cable that runs under the platform on the Eagle yurt. Marine grade “Jib-Hanks” secure the side wall to the pursing cable and allow for easy removal of the individual side wall panels. The unique design of using the pursing cable means that as the side wall turns a corner it is tensioned underneath which defends the yurt form rodents, insects, wind and

moisture
