Mosquito protection windows: effective and inexpensive
February 8, 2023 Windesa
Mosquitoes can become a real nuisance, especially in the warm season. The little nuisances get into the apartment through the smallest cracks in the window and look for a victim. They often sting unnoticed and leave behind itchy rashes. Mosquito protection for the window is therefore very useful.
Measures against the mosquito plague
It is advisable to take care of suitable mosquito protection for the entire apartment or house as early as spring. Depending on which types of windows or doors are installed in the individual rooms, you can take protective measures tailored to each individual case. A mosquito protection in the window frame, such as the WinClip Bug reliably repels mosquitoes, flies, small spiders and other pests. Mosquito nets can also be installed over the bed in bedrooms and children's rooms. Chemical control measures should be avoided in view of the physical health of the residents. However, home remedies such as those on the Geo website are permitted.
Options for mosquito protection on the window
Different protective nets or grilles can be used to prevent mosquitoes from entering in summer. Be available:
- Mosquito nets that are glued into the window frame
- Nets that are attached with Velcro
- Fly blinds for every window
- custom-made fly screens
Fly blind
On the other hand, made-to-measure fly blinds and fly screens are more effective and longer lasting. Roller blinds are ideal for mounting on roof windows. The close-meshed mesh is moved up or down in a stable frame. A brush seal closes the gap between the roller blind and window frame. This means that mosquitoes are prevented from entering the room.
Fly roller blinds can usually be shortened continuously and can therefore be tailored to any window size. Installation is easy, the roller blind can be attached to the window frame without the use of tools.
Fly screens as optimal mosquito protection on the window
The ideal insect protection for all windows in the apartment is - ideally made-to-measure - lightweight fly screens. This requires precise measurements of the window frames. The fly net is made of a light and air-permeable fabric that is hardly noticeable, especially in black, and does not hinder the view outside. The frames are hung into the window frame from the inside and are secured using a simple lock or, as with the WinClip Bug, using retaining clips. For quick installation and removal, for example when cleaning windows, the grille can be lifted out of the frame using loops or handles on the side.
