A magnetic insect screen should always be on the top priority of your furniture shopping list if you have a fear of insects like me.
Having your own home might equate to more freedom and personal space, but it also comes with shouldering higher responsibilities like dealing with pests by yourself! This might sound silly to some, but for those with insect phobia, it is truly a horrifying experience to be stuck at home alone with insect(s).
MY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCES
It was traumatic to find a baby cockroach near my guinea pig cage. (Don’t worry, no piggies were in the cage) And so unfortunately, my husband was working late, and I had to call my brother to rescue me because I just froze there while making sure that the baby “小强” did not escape. I can’t imagine what will happen if it’s the adult one. And I haven’t even mentioned about how prone I am to mosquito bites! It’s also the dengue season, so we should really take precautions!
On a separate occasion, there was a baby lizard in the toilet! I felt bad but I just had to find all sorts of ways to trap it before it hides somewhere.
Seriously I don’t want to rely on pesticide all the time especially when my guinea pigs are home. I’m thankful that InsectOut Insect Screen Window Mesh has become my best solution in preventing pests from entering the house.
SITE VISIT
So after what happened, I quickly searched for an immediate solution. If there’s a second time again, I would really lose my mind. I chanced upon InsectOut on Facebook just by searching “Insect mesh“. Heck, I didn’t even know what it was supposed to be called.
I actually found a few other options online, but because of InsectOut’s quick and friendly response, and they mentioned about a complimentary site visit, I decided to just go for it.
I like how the site visit is non-obligatory, although at that point of time I was pretty sure that I am going to confirm due to the urgency. I was given a quotation on the spot and upon accepting it, I arranged for an installation date straightaway. If you prefer to take your time, I’m sure they will be alright too!
In fact, I was advised only to install the insect mesh on windows that I will open regularly, and save my money for the rest. Love how they were not pushy in sales at all!
THE VERDICT
The installation was very efficient and it took about 2 hours in total to install 2 window frames in the living room and 1 toilet window.
From about 2 metres away, the insect screen really looked invisible and blended in with the other window. the only obvious part was the black frame, but it didn’t really matter since the colours are similar to my window frame.
Can you tell the difference?
They have installed a magnetic frame that is attached to the window frame, which allows the insect screen to be easily detached for easy opening of the windows. It is really convenient to open and close the windows, although for my case I plan to leave the windows opened 24/7 for my guinea pigs.
I was initially a little worried about the ventilation, but overall it seems great! Sunlight is definitely unaffected as well.
You know what’s the BEST part?
I no longer have to worry about cockroaches, lizards and mosquitoes coming in from the outside. Although there is still a slim chance that they may still crawl in from the door gap but at least it’s minimal. Especially during the Zika/ Dengue period, this window mesh is effective in preventing mosquitoes.
For people dealing with midges infestation near Pandan Reservoir, perhaps this might be a better solution. In fact, I heard from others that such invisible screens are installed to prevent their house cats from jumping out of the window!
Maintenance
The window mesh is also very easy to remove for vacuuming and rinsing under water. Yep, pretty fuss-free for lazy people like me. They were also really nice to pass me additional mesh to cut out and place it in the toilet and kitchen drain (Just in case).
