Are thread counts small enough to prevent mosquitoes and bugs if used to enclosed a patio?

the only way small baby mosquitos would get past this is if you did a shoddy job at enclosing your space. definitely need to overlap and sew the overlaps together.

Yes, I have it on the front porch, by the door (contrary to the directions). There is a roof, but rain can blow in. It is rather sensitive & the fan will stop if a big bug, etc. gets stuck. So, you have to check it often. I've been amazed at how many mosquitos it traps.

I don't know about those specifically, but we had a horrible outbreak of mosquitoes recently after really heavy rains, and I wouldn't get a single bite when I applied this. Should work for you!

Yes. It can't hurt, but all those pesky mosquitoes will. I've seen larvae in the most obscure and protected of areas -- don't care how covered the container might be. These bits are easy, and they do seem to work... for about 3 years now. (My worry is that the local critters will eventually develop a resistance. But go for it now!)

Didn't think about mosquitos, but i don't see why it wouldn't work if it's in a confined space like a carport or semi enclosed patio. I know that it works well with spiders.

No it is not fine enough to keep out mosquitoes; although being in Florida I have not had a problem and I have had them in place for at least a couple of years.

Sure, I have it under canopy on my deck. Got to clean it once a month with air compressure to blow off all dead bugs. Not sure about out in open on rainy days maybe make sure something is above it for cover. No more Mosquitos!

I haven't tried using it for mosquitos but do have an outlet outside on my deck. Personally I don't think it would work but it is worth a try.

i would say yes to a covered porch as long as weather (rain) could not get to it but it is not made for outdoor use... although the water is in constant motion it's not moving like a river ... it moves enough to avoid stagnation and has a filter that deals with moderate amounts of foreign matter... these two things incline me to say negative on mosquito proliferation control

oh, yes, in fact we use that way many times. The mosquito curtain is a quick addition or subtraction.

Donna, I think it would work fine to keep butterflies out since the mesh is 1/4". If you anchored it securely to the ground, butterflies couldn't get in.

I had it on my patio, and never had bugs at all. It worked out really well, and lasted a long time.

Actually that is a good question. I just opened the door on the left hand side and placed it in there. It seemed to still get plenty of air flow so it should still attract Mosquitos.

We used a scrap piece of outdoor carpet under the screen house and nailed furring strips around the base fabric and never noticed any small bugs. But we put the screen house on the porch which was 8 feet off the ground so the small bugs were not a problem to start with.

I think so as long as you had a way to anchor it to keep it from sailing away.. There's an extra flap that goes the entire way around the bottom edge that lays flat and you could lay boards or bricks on top. I question if mosquitoes would come up from below because I'm not certain they'd figure that out. I find that they throw themselves at the screen wherever is closest to me - as opposed to going to the bottom to hunt for a gap or opening... also, you could put a cheap tarp on the deck if it was an issue. Hope this helps.

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, it will collect small bugs. I use it around the edges a large 3/4 acre pond and find it is good for small things but I try to avoid twigs that might poke holes.
