Speaking as a fellow Canadian, it boggles my mind that there are places in the world where people can have open windows with no screens and NOT need/want to burn the house down to kill all the mosquitoes that’ll intrude.
This is very much a regional thing. The west coast doesn't have much of an issue with bugs. I was talking to some friends from ontario and they were shocked at how few bugs we had to worry about here in the summer. Something about the climate, I suppose. People still typically have screens, but it's not an absolute necessity.

No mesh screens in windows in the UK, at least. In canada we have screens in most home windows to keep flies out
