Mosquito Nets

Even though mosquitos are tiny insects, they are responsible for a lot of diseases that spread through blood. Let’s say malaria, dengue, yellow fever, etc. Apart from that, they are also a major nuisance at night. Luckily, mosquito nets are a simple and effecti ve solution against them.

Humans have invented numerous ways to beat mosquitoes. There are mosquito sprays, mosquito coils, mosquito repellent vapours, and many more. But out of all of them, the healthiest, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solution is nets. A net is nothing more than a mesh of fibres like cotton or polyester. The mesh should be smaller than the smallest mosquitos for this to work. An added bonus of fixing nets on windows and doors is that it will also keep your house safe from other insects as well. But before you start shopping for these nets, read this article to know more about them.

A beginner’s guide to buying mosquito nets

There are plenty of reasons to buy a mosquito net. For one thing, if you have a net, you don’t have to do anything particular every day to ward off those tiny irritating creatures. If it were a mosquito coil, you would have to remember to light it every night. On the other hand, a net just works. Secondly, these nets are versatile. On top of all of these benefits, mosquito nets can add a vintage aesthetic to your bedroom. All you have to do is to get a well-made and perfect looking net.

Impregnated mosquito nets

These nets contain chemicals that can repel mosquitos. Most of such nets make use of a man-made chemical called permethrin. This is the same chemical that is in the mosquito repellant vaporisers. Because such nets have double protection against mosquitos, they are really safe. But the downside is that the effectiveness of these nets decreases with every wash. But a good impregnated net should last for around three years or six months depending on the way you use it and the method of impregnation.

Adhesive mosquito nets

The main entryway for mosquitos and all other flies in the windows. Therefore, by sealing the windows using adhesive nets, you can pretty much eliminate flies from lurking inside your home. The advantages of such nets are that they are very easy to install, and after installing them, you can literally forget about them. But still closing the windows won’t eliminate mosquitos completely. They will still find some small gaps to enter your home. Also, these nets can limit the usability of the windows. Also, holes will form in the nets after a few years, and you will have to replace them.

Door mosquito nets

By installing a net on the doorway, you eliminate another way mosquitoes enter the hose apart from the windows. If you have it, you can open your doors without worrying about flies getting inside. These nets come in a couple of different styles. One option is to install them as door flaps. That way, you don’t have to bother closing the net every time you get in and out. But they do not provide complete protection. The best way is to fix the net on a metal frame and use it as a net door. These net doors can seal the doorway completely for flies.

Mosquito nets for bed

The most effective method to save yourself from mosquito bites when you sleep is to use bed nets. These are perfect because even though it is very difficult to make sure that mosquitoes don’t enter your home, it is possible for bed nets. To install this net on your bed, you will need an extra frame on the bed, or you will have to hang the net using a ceiling hook. Their large size makes it cumbersome to move them from place to place. But if you are going to fix it in the same place, this is the best option. Another thing to keep in mind is that a large net hanging down from the ceiling will completely change the aesthetic of the room.
