Do you not have a screen on your windows? I was in France recently visiting my wife’s family and was surprised to see basically none of the houses we were at had screens on the windows even though they needed to leave them open because they did not have air conditioning. You basically don’t need to worry about insects getting in through the windows with a screen on them.

I found this flabbergasting about the UK. Not only did nowhere have air conditioning, but nowhere had window screens either.

In the place we rented there was just bugs flying in all the time, and the older hotels were unbearably hot since the lack of screens also meant that the windows couldn’t open more than an inch or two.

The UK is not a hot climate, and in general bugs are not a problem (exceptions apply, looking at you scotland).

I was vacationing in the Newcastle area nearish to Scotland for the most part, and I certainly didn’t notice mosquitos like we have in Canada, but even just random spiders and flies and stuff were constantly coming inside with open windows.

It’s not the end of the world, but neither is installing a screen, it just seemed strange how universally uncommon they were. Like I figured that at least some people would still hate bugs enough to install them.

Not mosquitos but midge's, think smaller and less deadly, but swarms

Downside of those screens is that they let very little air through, kind of defeating the point of opening the window

[–] DeviantOvary@reddthat.com 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What? We have them on all doors/windows in our apartment (in Europe) and they very much do not block any air.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I just had a 'I can't breathe in these masks' flashback, what the hell are they on about, lol

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I mean, they do objectively reduce airflow somewhat compared to no screen. It's not a big deal, but it's also impossible for them not to.

Okay but I know the UK has rodents. If I left my grond floor windows open we'd get mice inside.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

I've never heard of mice just randomly climbing in through windows ngl. (We also don't have screens)

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I actually had one like 2 years ago, but then I got new windows in and didn't get screens for them yet.

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have you considered using screens?

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

i had screens before i got new windows. have been putting it off since.

[–] bubblybubbles@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

imma simple gal, I see wasp I kill wasp. Only bees get a pass from me 🐝

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

but they (and the dragonflies and ladybugs) are supposed to eat some of the pests off my plants. the wasps just have no respect. not once did a dragonfly enter.

[–] Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 month ago

Wasps are disrespectful. One year, I had a nest right on the corner of the frame on my front door. I left it because there was at most only ever one outside, and it would just look at me, so I figured we had a truce. After about 6 weeks, I'm in the bathroom, and one of these assholes comes flying out from behind the toilet to drive bomb me while I got my thang out. I destroyed their whole community after that.

I rly wish I had more dragonflies in my corner of the world instead of wasps but it seems lik ive been seeing less and less of them😥
