agree on the nets for doors and windows. For doors there’s also some nets with magnets that can be crossed though and they will self-close perfectly every single time thanks to the magnets.
Badminton is great too, including against flies, wasps and whatever manages to get in.
We had one of the magnet screen door dealios and it worked really well. Until the cat discovered he could just go out on the porch to try and escape.
well you can get permanent door made with steel wire mesh.
I've seen those electric racket looking things and always wondered how well they work. I'll definitely be picking some up now.
they work great for upto a year, after that all of them broke down.
it depends in my experience. Mine has lasted for years, but I had to stretch the net a bit to avoid contact with the middle one after a bad hit. In my experience, if one don’t think one’s at Wimbledon, they should last.
they work great, but you have to chase the insects. It’s even better if you have chickens because you can feed them with the victims, as no poison is involved in the killing.
