Insect Screens for Greenhouses All You Need to Know

Summer may be coming to a close as cooler temperatures seem like a promising relief for many parts of the country. But one thing remains along with the oppressive heat…bugs! For many of us, insects don’t disappear as fall approaches. Annoying critters can destroy our bountiful produce, beautiful blooms, and lush foliage. Growing concerns over the use of pesticides dictate demand for a cleaner, more organic option.

The proven answer is insect screens, and no modern greenhouse should be installed without the proper insect barrier. Insect screens are strong, UV stabilized, lightweight, easy to install, transparent, and easy to clean, making them the perfect choice for today’s greenhouse. Correctly installed, they prevent insect penetration while still providing maximum possible airflow.

Screening your intake vents will produce dramatic results, but ALL greenhouse openings should also be screened.

Now let’s talk about screen varieties and how to choose! Anti-insect screen choices are differentiated by hole size or mesh size. Hole size accuracy and strong UV-resistant yarns will ensure the highest quality products from your greenhouse.

 

You should choose mesh size according to the insects prevalent in your area. You want to target your mesh size according to the smallest pesky insect. The higher the mesh percentage, the smaller the insect that is prevented from entering your greenhouse. An added bonus with insect screens is some degree of shading. The highest mesh percentages available can provide as much as 50% shade.

Fewer pesticides are needed to significantly reduce the number of insects entering the greenhouse structure. Dual protection significantly reduces the number of pests entering the structure, while maintaining adequate airflow and reducing costs.

Who knew insect screening could provide not only insect resistance; but also shading and some protection from the elements, all while maintaining adequate airflow? All these features help reduce costs for production in your greenhouse, giving you the most for your greenhouse investment. Now that you know the details, track down the worst pesky offender in your area, and install some screening in your existing greenhouse, or let us know which mesh is best for your future greenhouse needs!
