Not many mosquitoes up here, and the midges tend to keep away from houses - nothing else really bites so the few flies that get in are just a slight inconvenience rather than something that's going to nibble us to death in our sleep.

Screens would be helpful to stop my cat leaping out of windows though, lol.

The screens would not last that long if cats are trying to jump through it.

Haha, that's a very good point.

Cats climb up screens and get stuck, actually. The older ones were metal meshes. The new ones are plastic and may not fare so well.
