@Brynify Wait, you’ve never seen a window covered by a net? I don’t know how those things are called in English, but you probably get the idea. They go on the outside, so that when the window is open, air can get through but insects can’t.
@miki@Brynify In British English, the word "net" in relation to a window makes me think of a super thin, semi-transparent curtain. "Screen" I think is common in American English to describe what you're talking about, but we do also just say things like "that mosquito net needs to be replaced" around here.
@miki@Brynify Living somewhere with mosquitos, we have screens on all of our windows. If I ever move to a place without mosquitos, I will be investing in exactly the same thing regardless. Add a spray for when they do get in, and flying insects is now a solved problem.
@jscholes@Brynify Exactly. We do have mosquitos (although not the deadly variety), but considering how hard it is for a blind person to deal with even something as harmless as a fly, yeah nope. Screens it is. There are also wasps and bees, which we have plenty of, and those can be quite dangerous, even if you think you aren’t allergic.
@mush42@Brynify When I saw this post yesterday, it reminded me of an epic monologue from a bollywood film about a mosquito. Substitute flies for that and you'd be all set.
