Why mosquitoes and midges are dangerous and how to escape from them at home
Any dwelling, whether it is an apartment or a country house, is much more comfortable and cozy if there is no extraneous flying creature in them, especially in the spring and summer, when the windows and doors of balconies and loggias are wide open. After all, mosquitoes and midges are not just annoying neighbors that interfere with their squeak to sleep. Mosquitoes and midges in the room are a real misfortune: allergic reactions, scratching and various kinds of inflammation on the skin after the bites of these bloodsuckers are quite common and quite common.
And that is why no one wants to spend their weekends or vacations, and perhaps all summer, in the company of mosquitoes.
How to escape from them?
There are many methods:
- mosquito repellent chemicalsevaporating when heated, but unfortunately. These funds are not as effective as we would like, and not only mosquitoes inhale these chemicals.
- various creams, mosquito sprays applied to human skin. Also, I must say, the pleasure is not very pleasant, because they often cause allergic reactions, and their use in relation to children is limited by the manufacturer. - ultrasonic mosquito repellers
- homemade barriers, according to the principle of a mosquito net, only from tullewhat you can’t do to protect yourself from mosquitoes.
But, practice shows that if you need to protect the room about the penetration of mosquitoes and midges into it, it is better to use modern mosquito nets installed on windows and doors(entrance and / or balcony). It is not only very convenient, aesthetically pleasing, but also 100% effective: the mosquito will not slip, and with it dust, pollen and other small debris, such as poplar fluff, will not get into the room from the street. And if so, then we’ll talk in more detail about mosquito nets.
Mosquito net: types
Depending on where you want to install the mosquito net: on the window or doorway, balcony sliding frames, outside or inside the window, the choice of mosquito net will also depend. And there really is something to choose from:
- frame mosquito net: the canvas is stretched on a frame made of metal. Such a mosquito net is suitable for wooden or plastic windows. It is installed both inside and outside the window opening. Stationary: after installing it on a window, it does not move anywhere, does not open, and is removed with the onset of cold weather, when insects have already disappeared.
- a sliding mosquito net.In its structure, it is similar to the frame grid, but it is installed only on sliding aluminum windows (usually they are placed on uninsulated balconies and loggias). In winter, it is cleaned.
- rolled mosquito nets, arranged according to the principle of the role of the curtain,are installed both outside and inside the window or doorway. Do not require dismantling in the winter.
- mosquito nets-pleated:are not only protection against mosquitoes, but also an element of decor. The direction of opening of such a mosquito net in both horizontal and vertical plane. And the dimensions of the canvas can reach 3X3 m.
- mosquito net with Velcro: The cheapest, portable, but also the most and least durable version of the mosquito net. The cloth is fastened with Velcro to the frame of the window opening from the outside.
All these types of mosquito nets do their job well, especially those that are stationary and only for window openings.
But mosquito nets for doorways in the form of rolled or mosquito nets-pleats require constant efforts and some time to close and open them, so mosquitoes can still get into the room. Yes, and the very mechanisms of opening the closure of such mosquito nets, not only that from frequent use can become worthless, but are available for use only by adults.
Therefore, we consider a universal one: both for window and doorways, the type of mosquito net is a mosquito net with magnets.
Mosquito net on the magnets in the doorway: types
Consider in more detail the option of a grid on the door with magnets. Why exactly at the door? Because a mosquito net on a door, by definition, should fulfill the functions of a door: to allow unimpeded access of both adults and young children, animals in all directions (from and to the room), but to prevent insects from entering the room. To perform these functions, a door mosquito net with magnets. And there are also several options for such mosquito nets:
- swing mosquito net on magnets: combines frame mosquito net and door features. This is achieved due to the fact that the frame with the canvas stretched over it is attached to the hinges (it is even possible to install a door closer so that the mosquito net itself slams shut) on the one hand, and the magnet on the other side of the door is used as a lock to ensure a snug fit and closing of such a mosquito net aperture. The disadvantage of such a mosquito net on magnets is its price and the fact that when open it takes up a lot of space.
- curtain net on magnets.Very affordable, portable enough and easy for self-assembly, a variant of a mosquito net on the doorway. One of the main representatives of this type of product is the gardex magnets mosquito net. The curtain is a mosquito net, consisting of 2 mesh panels of various colors, on the doorway up to 94 cm wide and up to 210 cm high. The kit includes 2 magnetic tapes, 2 magnet magnets, mechanisms for attaching the mesh to the doorway: buttons and Velcro, decorative trim.
When assembled and installed, this mosquito net allows you to freely pass through it in all directions, like through a normal curtain, to people and animals, it does not take up space, like a swing.
But, most importantly, no extraneous flying creatures will pass, because, thanks to magnetic tapes and weights magnets, after a person has passed through the curtain, it immediately closes tightly.
And also, in case of curtain contamination, it can easily be washed, it is only necessary to remove the magnets from the pockets beforehand.
The only drawback of such a mosquito net-curtain with magnets is its standard size. In the event that the doorway is no longer suitable.
