‘Completely bug proof’ magnetic fly screens let you open windows without letting flies and wasps indoors If you’re tired of your home becoming a haven for wasps and flies every time you open your windows, these magnetic window fly screens are ‘completely bug proof’ The warmer summer weather has got us all throwing open our windows in the hopes of tempting in a breeze and letting some fresh air inside, but that usually means a deluge of flies, moths and wasps end up making their way indoors too. But if you’re fed up of choosing between fresh air and sharing your home with countless insects, this easy-to-install Magnetic Fly Screen is a must-have addition to your windows. They start from £26.99 each and come in a choice of sizes ranging from 120cm x 130cm up to 151cm x 180cm to fit all sizes and types of windows, and the screens can be trimmed down to get a perfect, secure fit. You can also choose from white and grey colour options, making them easy to blend into your windows.

This attaches to your wine frames via adhesive, so there’s no drilling, and according to Amazon they can be installed in as little as 15 minutes. They can be attached to all types of frames, including wood, plastic and metal, and they work on all types of openings, whether they’re skylights, slide windows or either inward or outward openings. You can even attach them to caravan or car windows, to make sure you’re always bug-free. The Magnetic Fly Screens can be easily removed for cleaning, and are safe to either vacuum or hand wash in soapy water to keep them fresh. They attach firmly all the way around, which stops any insects from sneaking through (no matter how small) but still let plenty of fresh air and sunlight in from the open window. If you want to be able to leave your doors open too, these Magnetic Door Fly Screens are also well worth picking up, especially now they’re on sale for £12.99. They fit across a door frame measuring 75-95cm and have a split down the middle which snaps closed with magnets. You can easily pass through them without having to unfasten or open anything, and they even let pets push their way through whilst closing securely behind them. You can also pick up a similar style at Argos, where the JML Snap Screen Single Door Curtain is just £10, and measures 100cm wide. It’s worth noting that these door frame ones cannot be cut or adjusted to size. However the Magnetic Fly Screens have been a big hit with Amazon customers. One wrote: “Just the job, I installed in 3 bedrooms. Moved house and find it holds heat upstairs in summer. This product is a godsend. We can now have windows open at night without worrying about spiders and flies. A little tricky at first but be patient and follow instructions to the letter. Highly recommend.” A second added: “Value for money and has saved me in this hot weather. I usually get bit but this has allowed me to open windows and not be bitten. It’s easy to use and stays in place.” Whilst another said: “Bought for my son's bedroom window to replace old one. This is absolutely fantastic, once it's all put together! Looks so much smarter than the old one. Fits flush to window frame, so is completely bug proof. I've only given 4 instead of 5 as it was very time consuming & fiddly to put together.” Others also agreed the Magnetic Fly Screens were difficult to install, saying: “If I could give this minus stars I would. 3 hours and still can’t fit it properly, pieces won’t join together at all. Tried forcing them so much the magnets stained my fingers and thumbs black!” But others raved about them, writing: “Excellent product. Easy to fit, all straightforward pieces that come with an example set as well as a video instruction. The net is really good quality, prefer the grey to the white as it shows up less. It looks a very smart finish. Have installed them across all upstairs windows so can sleep with everything open and get an excellent throughdraft to cool the house down. And no creepy crawlies or flying insects. Advise the use of a Stanley knife to trim the edges once up and fitted in, as it is super quick and tidy. Money very well spent.”
