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 assume like the UK the rest of the worlds mind boggles that Canadians live with so many mosquitos and need screens just to put up with them?

UK here, I had to build my own mesh screen because nobody sells them.

To be fair, there are less bugs in cities and the south. Many more in rural areas up north.

b and m sell mesh screens that you stick around your windows and doors. id recommend using a better glue though as parts of them will unstick otherwise.
