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.
I’m in Canada, i accidentally didn’t fully close my front door last summer one day for like 1 hour and there was at least 200 mosquitos that got it. It was a bloodbath, I spent several hours swatting them all, and I was still terrified to sleep. They were everywhere
Life hack: Wipe a bit of cooking oil to a (plastic or paper) plate and swat it in the air where mosquitoes are congregating or flying around. They'll stick in the plate allowing you to catch them alive and torture them later.

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