Alis girls Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Does anyone know if you can get screens to put over doors so that you can leave doors open but insects cant get in? I am sure I saw something on TV recently and I know you get them in Australia. my 7 yr old son freaks out when flies come in house. I'm not keen but when I say freak I mean it. I suspect i am gonna need prof help eventually. I use insect repellant candles and he is ok on allotment and others gardens so I suspect it is a behavioural thing. i do try to understand as I'm snake phobic. If anyone knows where to get something like this from I'd be grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yes - you can get them from some caravan or camping shops over here - fly screens. Or look in camping magazines/internet for suppliers. You might need them made to order. You can also get those curtain things - hanging strips etc which also stop flies coming in. My local hardware/odds and ends shop has them and they were very cheap Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I saw a two peice mesh screen in the latest Kleeneze brochure, it hangs at the top and the panels overlap and you sort of separate them and walk through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I fully sympathise. I'm not freaked out by flies, but if I see a frog - I hyperventilate. It's so bad, it's embarrassing for me when I'm with people who don't know about this 'problem'. I once sat in my car in our driveway & phoned for my hubby to rescue me! I crossed a little bridge over an ornamental pond in a Hotel in Thailand. It was a good shortcut from the beach road, to the market & shopping centre road. My mum has never seen me so bad - she thought I would pass out. My breathing went terrible & I was shaking so much. So I understand how it is. Get them screens & maybe a mosquito net for round his bed! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
