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.

I don't know about small flies (or large ones!), but it definitely works well for mosquitos and is fine around grass, even newly planted grass. Everything I have read indicates it is supposed to be safe where people are and kids play.

We are using the Dynatrap on our back deck (15ft x 15ft) and it works well there. No mosquitoes at all, but as soon as as you walk off the deck, unfortunately they are prevalent. So in short, Iwould say it works well in a small area, but certainly doesn't work in the large area that they say. It is also quiet and unobtrusive.

I think it would be great, and I think the mesh is fine enough so that mosquitos couldn't get through.

Sure, I have it under canopy on my deck. Got to clean it once a month with air compressure to blow off all dead bugs. Not sure about out in open on rainy days maybe make sure something is above it for cover. No more Mosquitos!

I sprayed the screen with Off or some other bug repellent and it did an adequate job of keeping out no-see-ums. Think most of the bugs came up from the ground, so as the other respondent indicated, it's important to have the tent well staked and the bottom perimeter kept down (I used boards). I used the tent primarily as a painting shed to keep bugs out of my freshly painted projects and it did a great job.

The manufacturer recommendation is to have the bug zapper about 20 feet from where the people are sitting. So yes you can use it on your patio if it is big enough.

Yes all our screen is designed to keep out insects. If you have no-see-ums or sand fly's we recommend the tiny 17 x 20 mesh.

I don't know exactly about mosquito net, but I have a screened porch I have used it on and it seems to keep bugs and insects out. Hope this might help. I've been happy with the screen.

Don't really know. You can probably find that in the product info, or perhaps someone else will chime in. I have one but haven't used it yet. :) However I'm sitting on my patio right now with the small ThermaCELL unit going and I am enjoying a mosquito free morning.

Didn't think about mosquitos, but i don't see why it wouldn't work if it's in a confined space like a carport or semi enclosed patio. I know that it works well with spiders.

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.

yes, by having the water entered through a bug screen inlet. I drilled four,4 inch holes in the top of the barrel, then place bug screen over the holes to keep mosquitoes out. If you look on the Internet ,you will find many examples of how to keep mosquitoes out of the water barrels.

It is intended to keep insects & bugs out. No other usage has been approved.

I use it at the Lake of the Ozarks on our porch which is elevated. We generally don't get mosquitos.

I think its for water drainage or just extra ventilation. I have been in the tent at night on the deck and havent had any issues with bugs.

It will, but remember this attracts mainly, bringing what you don't want, to feed on you first, then be lead to the kill. I was frustrated until I got mosquito nix, a fine mist emitted all around your patio, fence, eves and plant life, throughout your property. Killing all "Bad Bugs" but not harmful to pets or humans. It's a flower pollen, some people may be allergic to it, so just go inside when it emits, then go back out. Works great for the Texas size Mosquitos we have in Plano!
