tesa Insect Stop Hook & Loop STANDARD for Windows - Self Adhesive Window Fly Screen - Cut to Desired Size - in White, 1.0m x 1.0 m

Why did you choose this product over others?: I chose this product because it had a 4 star rating and thousands of reviews. When it arrived I was a bit sceptical, the netting seemed very flimsy and the tape width seemed a bit thin. But it was so cheap, and I really did need to have a window open overnight in this weather, I decided to give it a go. I decided to iron the netting on a low heat setting first off, to get rid of creases caused by it being folded inside the packaging. It instantly looked better after that. I then measured it and cut it to size with sharp scissors. I wiped down the window frame where the tape would go and dried it thoroughly. Then I cut the tape to size and secured it, gently at first, but once in place, I used the plastic end of a screw driver to run along the tape, applying a bit of pressure, so that the tape would stick more firmly. It was then easy enough to fit the netting in the window with it held in place by the velcro type tape. I managed to get the netting nice and taut across the window. It looks great! So glad I ironed it first! And the netting is easy peel away from the velcro in the instance of wanting access to the window for adjusting how open or closed you want it. I am so impressed, I’ve ordered more for another window. I chose the white netting and you can hardly see it. It took about 45 mins to do the whole job on a window 29x28 inches. But it was worth taking my time and doing it properly. Now I can leave that window open and not worry about insects flying in. Hoorah! 😃

Bought to keep spiders out, originally bought the black one and although it worked well, the holes were tiny making it a lot harder for bugs to get in. The white is still effective but not 100%. We have definitely noticed a drastic reduction in the amount of spiders we are getting since having these installed. Installation is a little bit fiddly, trying to cut the netting neatly but a sharp Stanley blade does the job. Simply stick the tape around the frame, place the netting on (do this with the window shut to allow the extra space for the handle) and cut off the excess. The white looks good on white frames though, can barely notice it at all which is good.

On behalf of myself and my hamsters, I would like to thank the brain of whoever invented this incredibly magical creation. I can now safely exist in my bedroom with the window actually open without having to fight an eight legged demon for mere access to fresh air. Having this beautiful ability has helped my asthma dramatically so I bow to thee! HOWEVER, a little warning for those who have their window permanently open a small amount... spiders *chills* really like that little gap between the netting and the window... so much that I spent most of September saying 'Good Morning Annie', 'Goodnight Dave' to my two resident giant great house spiders. Although they look like death itself, they make pretty good therapists and the netting made social distancing a VERY important possibility. (For those interested, Annie and Dave started having 'parties' including other GIANT great house spiders to the point where I wasnt sure who's leg was who.. Sadly I was informed of the potentially horrific outcome of said 'parties' by my grandmother and promptly served verbal eviction notices to all residing behind the great magical netting and they left the next day!) Overall: ~ Strong Adhesion! I have even left the window open when it was heavily raining and during high wind. ~ The netting holes are small enough so you have no visitors, although I have noticed some tiny spiders hanging around my curtain *not babies.. I hope* ~ Although the holes are small the netting still allows a decent amount of air flow and dramatically helps with breathing if you're an asthmatic. 100% Recommend! Annie, Dave.. if you're out there, I hope you and the kids are well Take care xoxo

it’s been super effective. The self-adhesive strip was easy to install without tools, and the screen fits snugly so bugs stay out. It doesn’t block the view or airflow, which is exactly what I wanted for summer. The material feels durable and holds up well over time. Overall, a simple, practical solution that keeps insects away without hassle.

The quality of the net itself is OK, but the tape is too ineffective. With the wind it all came off within minutes, and I had to put some normal tape around it. It's not holding too well, so I don't know until when it will stay. I wouldn't buy again.

I've had two packs of these covering three windows up for four years now. They've withstood stormy weather on days when I forgot to close the windows. I live next to a large area of woodland and the letting agency has installed a large security light on the side of the building that stays on all night. This attracts all kind of strange and annoying insects from the woodland, and my flat was getting invaded every night if I left my windows open. These nets put a stop to that. The mesh is very fine, soft, and flexible. Only insects that are barely big enough to see can get through it. I've had no problems with the adhesive - like I said these have withstood four years of use including stormy weather. The only downside to this product is that it's really designed for European windows than open inwards, whereas most British windows open outwards. It is possible to cut the mesh in such a way that it has enough slack for you to be able to reach out and grab the window's handle. You don't want to install this tightly if you want to shut the window. The mesh is delicate so will degrade quickly if you keep peeling it off the adhesive to open a window. After four years the mesh has collected a lot of dust, leaves, webs, and dead spiders. I'm now happily ordering replacements knowing they'll be good for another four years.

So i'll start by saying these do the job they are intended for. Flying insects in the house drives me potty, but in Summer, you need the windows open. I live near water so there is an abundance of flying creatures which seem to love an open window. Once installed, ive had my windows open constantly with no unwanted visitors. So from that perspective alone, great buy, that did exactly what i wanted. Its a very basic concept though, which is probably over priced and looks a little cheap. Its a simple piece of mesh fabric, with a small roll of velcro tape. You cut the tape to size and stick to the frame surrounding the window. Once the velcro surrounds the window, you cut the mesh to size and simply stick it to the velcro to cover the window. Mesh allows airflow, whilst blocking most other items from entering. To close the window, just peel the mesh from the bottom strip of velcro to allow to reach the handle. Then when re-opening, just re-seal the mesh to velcro. As above, looks a bit meh and is very basic, but its done exactly what i wanted, so i cant really complain.

So happy with this!! I can have my bedroom window wide open and I don't have to worry about spiders getting in or moths or whatever when the light is on at night. Easy to put up and it seems pretty well stuck down so yeah couldn't ask for better really. It's also barely noticeable on the window which is good.100% recommend!!
