The very first day they were installed my father in law walked right through one of them. I thought it would at least take a couple of days before that would happen.<BR/><BR/>My wife thought I was crazy when I insisted that every window in our home have screens. She thanks me every once in a while for having insisted.<BR/><BR/>In BsAs I have not seen too many screens on windows much less doors. Is there a technique for living with mosquitos that I just donĀ“t know about?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340834139819735298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132273.post-64215000325908410852007-03-09T14:56:00.000-03:002007-03-09T14:56:00.000-03:00I'm not sure if insect screens are provided by def...I'm not sure if insect screens are provided by default in new homes (though they should). At home we have them almost everywhere. What I'm noticing is that, since the temperature dropped and the rains started, mosquitoes are comparatively scarce indoors and attack you when you get out.<BR/><BR/>Ah yes, we do have bats. I've seen a lot of them lately. But they only work the night shift. :)Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296074005654785159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132273.post-80414489599513873042007-03-09T14:08:00.000-03:002007-03-09T14:08:00.000-03:00Forget the dragonflies, and concentrate on bats - ...Forget the dragonflies, and concentrate on bats - there much more efficient!<BR/><BR/>Are insect screens on windows standard in Rosario? One thing that struck me about BsAs, is that new residential construction never has insect screens, even though the mosquito problem can be quite bad in summer.<BR/><BR/>In northern California, such screens have been standard for years even though the mosquito problem is minor (mainly because there is so little precipitation during summer).<BR/><BR/>The idea of constantly having to spray insecticide or be covered in repellant isn't too appealing ...<BR/><BR/>Saludos!<BR/><BR/>JohnSFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846379168854781828noreply@blogger.com
