Are thread counts small enough to prevent mosquitoes and bugs if used to enclosed a patio?

the only way small baby mosquitos would get past this is if you did a shoddy job at enclosing your space. definitely need to overlap and sew the overlaps together.

Donna, I think it would work fine to keep butterflies out since the mesh is 1/4". If you anchored it securely to the ground, butterflies couldn't get in.

We used a scrap piece of outdoor carpet under the screen house and nailed furring strips around the base fabric and never noticed any small bugs. But we put the screen house on the porch which was 8 feet off the ground so the small bugs were not a problem to start with.

This would not do much good outside on a patio; for that order the Rescue Reusable Fly Trap, also available on Amazon. Set it about about 25 feet from your patio, and it draws flies, leaving your patio fly-free.

i would say yes to a covered porch as long as weather (rain) could not get to it but it is not made for outdoor use... although the water is in constant motion it's not moving like a river ... it moves enough to avoid stagnation and has a filter that deals with moderate amounts of foreign matter... these two things incline me to say negative on mosquito proliferation control

If by covered porch you mean rain will not fall directly on the unit or the power outlet, you'll be fine. If it's not already, install a GFI (ground fault interrupter) outlet in that location. Then if there's a short, such as to water, it automatically cuts off the power instantly. My wild guess is the water does not move fast enough to deter mosquitos, but if you try it, please let us know. It's a good question.

I am not sure. We are using it as a privacy screen. It seems to have a tight mesh but as we have not used it specifically for mosquito protection, I cannot honestly recommend it for that purpose.

I haven't found any bugs in ours, but it hasn't been long and we go in and out of it frequently. Also, it's on a patio, so we don't get tons of bugs there anyway. All that said, it's definitely not bug-proof. So, I would say, no, it doesn't seal shut, so therefore, bugs could definitely get in if they wanted to.

Yes, we use them on the patio in the evening to keep the bugs from getting in our wine. Will hold on anything with a smooth edge whether it be metal or glass. Cannot touch another object close to it or may break the seal. I love the small ones for cups and glasses.

They definitely don't work for mosquitoes in backyard so I would not recommend them for any other type of insect. There were flies, yellow jackets, etc. all around. It was not a repellant, more like an attractor. Hope this is helpful.

When we used our Wenzel screen room, we did not have any trouble with insects coming in. I actually don't remember the mesh drains, so they must not have been a problem.

We have. We live in Texas, tons of mosquitoes. It works great to keep the bugs out.

I've only used mine once in south texas for 3 days and didn't have any problems with mosquitoes. As bad as the mosquitoes are down here I was actually surprised. The only spot that I guess that could be a problem is the gaps in the corners next to the tailgate but they can easily be covered if need be.

Yes. It is a diaphanous cloth that allows 85% of the sunlight through but if used correctly, will keep bugs and critters out.

No. Smaller bugs like no see ums would get through the holes. But they work great for mosquitoes!

You can if you can hang it high enough. It's a lot of fabric but it could easily cover a crib and it definitely keeps out the bugs!

Vey good question. I have many set up that would come in contact with mosquitos. None had any visable ones on there. I check close to protect the garden
