How to Keep Pests Out with North Coast Blinds & Security

As we approach the summer season, one common issue that homeowners face is the increased presence of insects and pests. With the warming temperatures, insects like flies, mosquitoes, and spiders become more active and tend to infiltrate homes. This not only causes discomfort but can also pose health risks. Preparing for this pest invasion becomes crucial, and North Coast Blinds & Security offers a practical solution with its range of screens and doors.

Security and Insect screens and doors are an effective and eco-friendly way to keep pests out of your home while still allowing fresh air to circulate. Installing and maintaining these screens is relatively simple, and they can make a significant difference to your quality of life by providing a barrier against annoying and potentially disease-carrying insects. Here we will explore the steps to effectively keep pests out using insect and security screens and doors.

Choose the Right Type of Insect or Security Screen

When selecting screens for your windows and doors, consider the material being used.

Insect screens and doors are typically made of fibreglass, aluminium, or stainless steel. Fibreglass screens are common and the most cost-effective choice, while stainless steel, Crimsafe, offer more durability and security.
