Travel with Angela Lansbury: Fly screens for windows and doors - where you need them and where to buy them

Cyprus

In Cyprus we had insects coming into our bedrooms through doors and windows.

I would have liked the building owners to have invested in fly screens.

At Eins hotel in Limassol we had lots of insects coming in and biting us.

In George's Villa half way between Larnaka and Pafos the bedroom had fly screens on the two bedroom windows, and two doors into the bedroom with a gap between,to make a barrier.

Singapore

In Singapore there's a plague of mosquitos and cases of dengue higher this year than ever. We would need fly screens on a bathroom window, a shower room, the sliding doors of 2 rooms onto balconies.

USA

In America everybody seems to have sly screens, from big hotels to isolated rural farm shacks.

With global warming, we are getting more insects. In June we had the hottest day for 100 years, in the eighties Fahrenheit. 82 Fahrenheit is 28 Centigrade.

I just looked online for insect screens. To get you started, here are a couple of websites. Once you log into the internet, you get sent links for the country where you are logging in, unless you specify another country.
