Weve got the Lidl stuff. Got all our windows open. Its great.

KM - my friend's mother had a door screen on her back door - also in Ireland (she had lived in the US for a long time!) Don't know where she got it from though - I would think she got someone local to make it for her (or she might have made it herself - she is quite handy at stuff like that)

just buy raid, one squirt and they're dead

Aldi have them cheapat mo

we made our own in Australia

i have never understood why you don't have them in the UK.

and I've just this afternoon seen more of that netting with the velcro on the back of my SIL's betterware catalogue.......looked quite a bit more expensive though

The flies are revolting I agree, but I still don't want to have screens or close the French doors <stubborn>.

Disgusting little creatures - eyes up bad big ol fly in room.

off to lidl. i have googled and they're all EXPENSIVE looking. Fgs. They cost nothing in the states.

i think we just don't have them as the norm becuase we'd use them for such a short time each year so it isn't really worth it

but yes, they are definitely easily available

Lidl do great mosquito netting that comes with sticky-back velcro to put around your windows.
