Fly Screen windows and Doors
Fly Screen windows and Doors
Open windows and doors are a direct invitation to flying insects which are attracted in by the smell of food, warmth and shelter. Once inside all flies leave dirty marks which stain light fittings and windows. However, of most concern, they carry disease and contaminate food products with their eggs and larvae or with bacteria.
