They’ve been described as “a must-have” if you’re trying to get air into your home while keeping insects out. People have been tagging their friends and family on social media to raise awareness of the screens. “This is what we need,” wrote @heathermuldoon on Instagram. “Might need one for every door and window at this rate!” wrote @ellaflintham_x.

“I’ll be getting them all,” commented @bethankate26, while @georgi86x wrote: “Horrible things… I can’t open my bathroom window, as soon as I do they come in.”
