There is air conditioning in the hot summer, but mosquitoes are very annoying. If you don't pay attention, you will be covered in bites overnight, which is annoying!
How to prevent mosquitoes? You must do these three things →
- Resolutely do not choose low-rise housing;
- Doors and windows must be well protected against mosquitoes;
- Be careful about "loopholes" in your home (floor drains, trash cans, etc.).
Although a house on the first floor is cheap, I personally do not recommend buying it due to the factors of humidity and mosquitoes. It is recommended to choose a house on a higher floor. Relatively speaking, there will be fewer mosquitoes in summer.
Doors and windows must be protected against mosquitoes. How to protect them specifically?
Like the entrance door at home, it is recommended to install a retractable anti-mosquito door, which can reduce the number of mosquitoes that can be attracted into the home by opening the door.
The most critical thing is the exterior window of the home. Basically every functional area has a window, so the problem of window protection is solved, and basically the home will not be troubled by mosquitoes.
However, there are many types of windows, and each opening and closing method is different. What if you install a mosquito-proof screen?
sliding windows and casement windows are relatively common window types. For these two sliding windows, it is recommended to install matching sliding screens. It is recommended that the material of the screen windows be diamond yarn, which is relatively durable but not decorative. After using it, you must also pay attention to this point: when opening and closing, each window must be closed accordingly. If they are staggered, mosquitoes can easily take advantage of the gaps and enter the room through the staggered gaps. When the time comes, installing screens will be useless.
As for casement windows, most of them open inward. It is recommended to install fixed screens, which will not affect the opening and closing, and can effectively prevent mosquitoes. If it opens outward, it is recommended to make a full-surface drop-down screen, like this:
If it is an inverted window, it is recommended to install a screen on the outermost side to prevent mosquitoes. If it opens outward, it can be installed along the window indoors. The frame is made of a retractable screen window, which can be used all year round. It does not need to be disassembled. It can be used by pulling it down. It can be completely hidden by pushing it up. It does not occupy any area and is not an eyesore.
Or you can make partial screens along the opening and closing angle of the inverted window, which you can DIY. This way, depending on the opening and closing angle, it can effectively prevent mosquitoes from entering the room. At the same time, if there are pets at home, it can also prevent them from running around.
Finally, after arranging the doors and windows, it is best to regularly spray some insect repellent water into the sewer and floor drain of the home, including the trash can. The trash must be emptied once a day to avoid the breeding of small flying insects, which is unhygienic.
