Patio screens offer ample protection from bugs — even in places like Austin, Texas, where humid summers and mild winters make them a constant presence. Shading Texas offers retractable insect screens with dense fabrics that keep out even the smallest bugs.
How Insect Screens Work
Insect screens have small gaps designed to allow fresh air to flow while stopping bugs from entering your home, crawling over surfaces or contaminating food. They also prevent harmful UV rays from entering your outdoor living space without blocking your view of the surroundings.
What Bugs Do Patio Screens Protect Against?
The climate in Austin and throughout central Texas allows various insects to breed all year. They usually nest around patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces where there’s nothing in place to stop them.
The insect screening products at Shading Texas have proven effective against all kinds of small and large insects, including:
- Mosquitoes: These bugs can be quite a nuisance, especially when swarms catch you outside. They can bite all day, putting you at risk of uncomfortable itching and even diseases such as the West Nile and Zika viruses.
- Fire ants: With colonies that can reach millions of ants in strength, these are some of the most invasive pests. When one bites, it triggers others to start biting as well, so it’s best to avoid fire ants entirely.
- Palmetto bugs: Commonly known as roaches, these bugs won’t hesitate to enter your home. Our patio screens can stop them from crawling or flying into your space, allowing you to enjoy your time indoors and out.
- Spiders: Texas is home to many types of spiders, including brown recluses and black widows. Venomous or not, spiders are probably not welcome in your space.
- Scorpions: These are small, difficult to spot and common in central Texas. Bug screens can keep them out and prevent you from stepping on one and being stung.
- Bees and wasps: Both bees and wasps are common in Austin and the surrounding areas, especially from spring through fall. They’re prone to stinging when agitated. For some people, their stings can cause severe allergic or toxic reactions.
