    Thanks! I avoid opening the windows here because we don’t have fly screens, and I’d rather be a bit stuffy than deal with bugs and creepy crawlies. The new place doesn’t either, but I’m definitely going to buy those removable sticky tape ones. Unfortunately outwards opening windows does mean that I can only really put them inside, which’ll look funky, but eh

      The PO has flyscreens that work off magnetic tape and can be cut to size. Basically you outline the window frame with one half of the tape, then the flyscreen just sticks to the tape. Easily removable too. I’ve got these on my windows now, and I recommend.

        Can i ask which brand? Will need this for my current place as well - flyscreens on kitchen and bathroom windows but not the lounge and bedroom weirdly enough.

            Bewdy. Thanks for that, saved on my to do list. Nothing like an endorsement from the Witch to save me from the sea of similar products out there with wildly varying reviews.
