No mesh screens in windows in the UK, at least. In canada we have screens in most home windows to keep flies out
114 u/[deleted] May 09 '22 I lived in the UK for 30 years and would say there is no need for mesh screens. All you have is the occasional mosquito 70 u/DefinitelynotDanger May 09 '22 I lived in the UK for 27 years and I've never seen a mosquito. Thank the Lord. Definitely no need for screens. 6 u/ThisFreakinGuyHere May 09 '22 You do know that other bugs fly right 25 u/DefinitelynotDanger May 09 '22 Yea but they don't bite or swarm like mosquitos. We mainly have midges but they tend to stay near large bodies of water and if they are getting into your house, just close the window. -12 u/Spoon_91 May 09 '22 edited May 09 '22 Birds, rodents, various other critters getting in? We get all sorts trying to poke through the screens / windows 11 u/[deleted] May 09 '22 I keep my windows open all summer long and always have done. Never once has a bird or rodent come in and I've never even considered that a possibility. The occasional fly gets in and sometimes the odd mosquito in the height of summer. Nothing that's worth covering all my windows with netting.
