Has anyone used this on your windows for a DIY solution as a mosquito net? Any suggestions?

Used it to replace existing screen in patio screen door and storm door window screen section. Because it is heavy duty to survive pets, it is very stiff compared to regular netting. Depending on how you plan to DIY, stiffer may be better or worse than regular screening.

As long as it isn't 'draped' it should work. It's stiff & incredibly strong.If not applying w/ frame channel & spline method just attach to woodenwindow w/ staples & a thin wooden or metal frame

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.

Yes, I've used it to do that plus knock down wasp nests under the eaves at about that height: just use the 0 degree (red) nozzle and you'll be fine. It's a good job for a warm day because you WILL get wet!

I put one dot (approx. 1 inch in diameter) about every 12 inches, in a grid. It made very little difference in bird mortality--maybe none. What finally worked, and worked well, was putting deer netting (black plastic, approx. 3/4 inch grid) on the outside of the window. I quickly got used to looking through it, don't really see it any more. Went from several dead or injured birds a week to none at all in the year since I put it up. (Also, I can take it down for the summer months without causing a problem. Has to do with the angle of the sun and how it's hitting the windows, I imagine.) Good luck to you and the birds you're trying to help! I put one dot (approx. 1 inch in diameter) about every 12 inches, in a grid. It made very little difference in bird mortality--maybe none.

I have not try it yet, but it is similar to the copper foil I use to make stained glass windows. I wrapped it around my flower pots to prevent snails from going over the pots and ruining y plants. The adhesive is very good quality and strong.

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.

I would not use it as mosquito netting outdoors. The package says mosquito netting and that it keeps them out but there are a lot of open spaces and some other reviews said it doesn't work that way. It seems purely decorative in my opinion.

No ...so unfortunate...I tried Velcro strips and mosquito netting which worked for a few months...next summer I will mount curtain rods and outdoor sheers.....

Unfortunately, it will not be strong enough because the purpose of the netting is really to prevent birds from perching or occupying an area. The net isn't strong enough to withstand a baseball pitch and will likely wear and tear away even if its temporary. I'm a Pest Control Applicator and would not recommend buying this item for that purpose.

I would say no I ended up getting screens that were made of pets and just doubled the screen in the window, didn't seem to block airflow to much and you can't really see in during the day, night time its the opposite you can see in as the light changes but I find that to be the case with almost any privacy DIY things I've tried ...good luck

I would be happy if I were you. That window breaker thingy is completely useless, and has a tendency to scratch everything. I was thinking about removing it myself, but did not because I assumed it would be hard to. I'll give it a try now.

U can use the tiny screws that you push in with ur hands. It only makes a tiny hole and it holds up the netting. I think we used one on each corner.

We use it outside for mosquitoes. it works great on them, not many wasps or bees where we live.

No I have not, but they should work just fine as a hidden means of insuring closure of a window as well as a door.

It's super lightweight material so I suppose that would be a decent application. The net comes in different sizes and the small size doesn't have the side netting so that might be a perfect solution depending on the size of the patio door. It is basically a 4x8 panel.

We tried it here (live in Lewisville near Lewisville Lake), and it seemed to do very little on Texas mosquitoes. Might have been our terrain and bushes.We just unpacked it again this year, but the fan had quit working (it is about 9 years old). Back in MN we had the perfect setup -- we put it at the high weed line next to our little stream, and we were bothered by very few mosquitoes. My biggest challenge was keeping the tree frogs out of it because they'd be attracted by the black light, crawl inside, and get munched by the fan.

We tried this a few times and did not work at all for us. We have pretty thick mosquitos. We did the entire lawn where we hang out.

I am not sure. We are using it as a privacy screen. It seems to have a tight mesh but as we have not used it specifically for mosquito protection, I cannot honestly recommend it for that purpose.
