1.mosquito net for doors and windows - ultimate solution
2.mosquito badminton. - great for few of them, you can just zap them with it.
agree on the nets for doors and windows. For doors thereβs also some nets with magnets that can be crossed though and they will self-close perfectly every single time thanks to the magnets.
Badminton is great too, including against flies, wasps and whatever manages to get in.
We had one of the magnet screen door dealios and it worked really well. Until the cat discovered he could just go out on the porch to try and escape.
well you can get permanent door made with steel wire mesh.
I've seen those electric racket looking things and always wondered how well they work. I'll definitely be picking some up now.
they work great for upto a year, after that all of them broke down.
it depends in my experience. Mine has lasted for years, but I had to stretch the net a bit to avoid contact with the middle one after a bad hit. In my experience, if one donβt think oneβs at Wimbledon, they should last.
mosquito Badminton is so funny.
I don't know what to call them and badminton is famous here so we call them that.
Yea after wasting a lot of money on repelents and creams , I realised just closing doors after 5 pm and netting the windows was the best solution. I also use net tent for my bed.
