I'm bugged by bugs. Living in the Rockies we have every bug out there, and no see ums/midges get through the regular screen on my Hawk. Last night I was camped near W. Yellowstone, and there must have been hundreds of no see ums hovering around my LEDs. Fortunately they want the light and not me.
Just got done reading a thread on here from a few years back regarding bugs. Some folks made their own smaller mesh window coverings and put velcro on the edges, so they could stick them right to the velcro on the soft-sided windows. This seems like a good idea. Others have rubbed bug spray (not DEET, because it melts screens) on the original screens, with good results. Would like to try something I can spray directly on the screens without melting them.
Any other ideas would be appreciated. Someone commented about taking the screen off the fan and exhausting the bugs out of the camper, great idea. Have to try that next time I'm out.
