During the warmer months I have a lot of very small insects entering from the windows, especially from one side of the house (probably coming from the pond of the neighbors or the stables just beyond).
I looked around for an insect net to put at the windows from that side, but looking around I only found things like this:
My best idea for now is to order 2 of those custom built fan filters from the US and attach them to the bathroom window with velcro (that is the most important window to cover, 2 because they don't make a fan filter large enough for the window)... It's a pretty bad idea.
Do you happen to have a better idea? Maybe you know where to find similarly fine nets more locally?
Lidl were recently selling insect nets in aluminium painted frames (white) that clip to your windows.
The dark netting ones are more "invisible" than the white.
We bought a couple last year and the quality is really good but they're a kit so you need a hacksaw for the aluminium, a rubber hammer, a rule and a square at the minimum for a good neat job.
They have them in their publicity leaflet for Aldi this week too so they will be on offer starting from either Thursday or Monday there.
We bought some from aldi a few years ago and they were really good, I think the stuff from lidl and aldi is basically the same with a different name on the packaging.
I've been searching for weeks now as I need it as "Meterware" (like a few meters, no frame etc.) and can't find it anywhere. The sizes are either for windows or - when they are something like 2.5m long they're all done "fancy" for balcony doors.
I simply need the material and don't quiet understand why this is not available.
Where I am, I install 26 "weaves per inch?", which is about 1mm. It works well against mosquitos. Also 24 per inch, which is a bit wider, should be fine. The problem is, the tighter the weave, the less air and light goes through. These tight nets reduce the air flow quite noticably, and if you have no A/C, you might want to go as wide as possible without getting the little stingy buggers.
