It’s that time of year again, creepy crawlies adventuring into the house, wasps parading round the windowsills and flies frantically buzzing through the house. It’s summer!
I love summer but the influx of bugs in the house drives me insane, to the point I usually refuse to open the windows or doors, which isn’t really practical when your house becomes as hot as the sun as soon as there’s a tiny bit of good weather.
Anything to deter creepy crawlies from setting up in our house is a welcome addition and I was keen to try out the JML Snap Screen door screen. It’s a protective door screen that allows fresh air into your home and unwanted creepy guests out.
At only £9.99 the price is hugely enticing and due to the generic design it’s suitable for a variety of users. It can be used over a standard single door, sliding doors or caravan door and is easy to install and remove so it can be reused in different locations if necessary.
There are no nails, tools or screws required to put up the screen, it didn’t seem top difficult to install but I’ll admit I supervised while Hubby did the hard work.
The screen comes in too separate strips, with have magnets down one side. We laid out the screens on the grass with the magnet sides facing each other.
The box also contains numerous Velcro pads which are to be stuck around the edge of the screens, these are what will affix the screen to your door frame.
The screens are to be placed on the inside of the door frame if your doors open outwards and on the outside if they open outwards. They were easy to place with the Velcro and seemed quite sturdy, though the screens were slightly too large for my door and left a slight overlap at the side.
Once it was up it seemed sturdy enough and did what it was supposed too. The magnets are pretty strong and the screen closes quickly once you’ve entered or exited.
I’m not sure how it’ll withstand the little man and his dramatic entrances but it’s been up a couple of days so far and the the number of creepy crawlies in the house has dramatically reduced so it’s a hit with us.

Wasps and midges!
Flies and wasps
The flies, the quiet ones are fine but it's the loud buzzy ones that seem to dive bomb I hate. I've already had to slaughter a little mosquito type thing that was behaving like a world war one fighter pilot and have food covers at the ready for the summer invasion.
Although I know they are good for pollination and the fact they prey on small insects and caterpillars, I hate wasps. One way to deter them is to put ground coffee in a empty foil dish & light it with a match. The wasps don't like the fumes and stay away.
Fly's especially Blue Fly's I've got one in the house now It's driving me mad!

Bee's, wasps and anything that can sting me
I hate wasps. When they fly in through a window I catch them in a cup and leave them in there until they're dead. No way am I getting stung.

Wasps are bothersome. Also the fact that I am allergic to grass as it means I have to be careful on picnics!

The only thing that bugs me during the summer is that, as a postman, I start delivering Christmas stuff, catalogues and the like! Enjoy the summer people! Worry about Xmas in December!

Ants, ever since I had hundreds of them in one of my kitchen cupboards a few years ago they make my skin crawl and feel dirty.
I don't like the heat, if we could have the sunshine without the temperature it would be perfect.
Moths, flies, too hot, I could go on. I'm not a summer person at all.

I hate it how flies and wasps manage to find their way into the house through an open door or window but can never find their way out again. Oh..and gnats and mosquitos that buzz at night!
