I remembered somebody on here talking about having screens made. You say, "while we were using them," does that mean you quit? I certainly don't want flies or wasps in our house, but the worst things are mosquitoes. Do you not have mosquitoes in the UK? If you do, then how do you sleep at night with them buzzing you? It takes only a few in the entire house to disturb one's sleep.

We went on our holidays last year to America and I can quite understand for the need of nets/screens there. I don't know if the American's amongs us will know what I mean but when we were flying home we had to stay in the airport because there was a infestation of 'Love Bugs' ???? Luckily we don't have that problem in the UK with a lot of flying insects, on the odd occasion that we get a fly in the house they don't last very long with two cats who make it their mission to track and attack ! - I wouldn't want to spoil their fun.

No NCarver we don't get the mozzies quite like you although can quite understand where you are coming from,nothing more annoying than when you go abroad & because its so hot you open windows & in the little darlings come,on one holiday it was the talk down by the pool next day who had come up with the neatest idea of trying to zap them.
I think it was most probaly me who mentioned having had screens made in another thread,they were for my daughter who at that point lived in a house with no garden so nowhere to have an outside pen for the cats & she found the screens a double bonus for letting air plus keeping cats in but also flies out,we are lucky because as well as having a pen the back garden is catproof so we can open up the patio doors without worrying,we do have a fly screen hanging over them though....!
