Tiny bugs getting thru window screen

Jul 17, 2006 9 Replies

I am sitting here at my computer. It's very hot weather. I dont have an AC. I have a large fan in the window on the other side of the house blowing outward. I have the window open above my computer with a standard screen. There are no holes in the screen, yet these tiny bugs are coming in and flying into my face by the handfulls. I finally shut off the light in here which helps, but does not stop them entirely, and the air coming in this window (from fan on the other side), just sucks them in here. I have never seen any finer (smaller) screen sold. What can I do to stop this really annoying problem?

Look for mosquito netting at a fabric store. It's WAY smaller than your average screen. The only downsides I've seen is that is gets really slack when warm and it blocks the view a fair bit. Definately an improvement when the small bugs are out!

hey troll, this same message was sent last summer!!!

Maybe he never got an answer and decided to ask again? That's not trolling.

I've noticed that some bug spray's have instructions to prevent bug intrusion, to treat your screens with the spray.

Might want to look into this...

You must be a noob. You know nothing about trolls.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give this a try. These bugs are very annoying. To the person that said spend $80 for an AC, it's not the cost of the AC, it's the hundreds of dollars added electric bill, and besides that, I dont like AC. I like fresh air in warm weather.

I suppose I will have to wrap the netting around the whole screen and push it in place, huh?

There sure are some morons on these newsgroups. Like they remember everything ever posted. You just earned a special place in my killfilter. Bye

Yeah, some dumb subjects just stick out like that.
