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 doubt it. The mesh holes are larger than most mosquitoes, at least on the size I have- not sure about smaller ones.

We use it mostly outside, every now and then we will be bothered with mosquitoes getting inside and will spray, its never bothered our boxer. Hope this helps..Sue

We have had two of these for a couple years. We have never had any problems with mosquitoes. We love them - they are wonderful for the garden!

I haven't tried using it for mosquitos but do have an outlet outside on my deck. Personally I don't think it would work but it is worth a try.

Hi Dolores, fortunately, we don't have much of a mosquito problem, so I can't answer your question definitively, however, I would think the breeze and cooler air would help keep them away.

It worked fairly quick for me. I had a bbq & the flies were there but no-one complained of getting bit by mosquitos, I sprayed the day before. I also don't water it down as much as it says. & I spray the tree trunks & some of the lower branches of trees. If it rains you will have to re-spray.

The tent is one piece. It is likely more water proof than an ultra lite tent that cost 10 times as much. The mosquito net zips shut completely so there is no way for bugs to enter once closed.

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!

I have not had any mosquitoes around my rain barrel. So I would not see a need unless the location of your rain barrel is in an area which attracts mosquitoes?

Yes. It can't hurt, but all those pesky mosquitoes will. I've seen larvae in the most obscure and protected of areas -- don't care how covered the container might be. These bits are easy, and they do seem to work... for about 3 years now. (My worry is that the local critters will eventually develop a resistance. But go for it now!)

We have a decent sized deck, one end has a gazebo with table and chairs. I put it on the railing at that end and it keeps the mosquitos away. We can sit out there comfortably for hours! I guess you could hang it but that might be a pain to change and clean it. You could safely sit it on a table.

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!

I think so as long as you had a way to anchor it to keep it from sailing away.. There's an extra flap that goes the entire way around the bottom edge that lays flat and you could lay boards or bricks on top. I question if mosquitoes would come up from below because I'm not certain they'd figure that out. I find that they throw themselves at the screen wherever is closest to me - as opposed to going to the bottom to hunt for a gap or opening... also, you could put a cheap tarp on the deck if it was an issue. Hope this helps.

Because moving air has been proven the best way to keep Mosquitos away the answer is yes, to a point.You have to be in the area that is covered by the fans moving air. Chancy at the edges.

It should keep away most small flies and bugs. There are no holes in the tent other then the entryway and I believe it zips up.

I have used it quiet a few times working on projects at night and hated having the garage door open because of the mosquitoes in S FL. Running the thermacell I can leave it open and at least enjoy the breeze without having to fear being swarmed. Some nights it has been so effective I haven't been bitten once.
