Using outdoor blinds or screens is a great way to keep insects and bugs out of living areas.
BUGGered is a NEW product from Awnings.co.za in partnership with Slidetrak V2.0 outdoor Roller Screens :
Here are some effective methods to consider:
1. Choose the Right Material: Opt for tightly woven mesh screens as they are more effective in keeping out even the smallest insects. Materials like fiberglass or aluminum can be effective.
2. Fit and Seal Properly: Make sure the screen or blind is well-fitted to the windows and doors, leaving no gaps for insects to enter.
3. Use Magnetic Strips: Magnetic strips along the edges can ensure that screens close securely after opening and prevent any gaps.
4. Retractable Screens: Consider installing retractable screens that can be drawn and retracted easily, perfect for when you want to enjoy the open outdoors without the bugs.
5. Integrated Screening Systems: Consider integrated systems that blend in with your existing doors and windows for a seamless, bug-free experience.
6. Regular Maintenance: Regularly check for holes or tears in the screens and repair them immediately to prevent insects from sneaking through.
7. Add Plants That Repel Insects: Place bug-repellent plants like lavender, marigold, or citronella near your blinds or screens to deter insects naturally.
8. Install Awnings or Shades: They can provide an extra layer of protection and deter bugs from sticking around areas near your screens.
9. Consider UV-Blocking Screens: These not only help to block insects but also filter out harmful UV rays from the sun.
10. Electronic Insect Killers: Use electronic insect killers nearby to attract and eliminate insects that come near the screened area.
By implementing these methods, you can create a comfortable and bug-free living area while still being able to enjoy the outdoors.
