3. I live in England. But used to live in Michigan.

We have no window screens here.

The windows open outward.

When they are open, the bugs get inside all the time. Especially spiders. And mosquitoes. And flys.

My wife was bit on the side of her face back in 2009. Necrosis set in and she had an itchy scalp for 6 months. It took a year to heal.

Worse than the lack of window screens is the total lack of sense in the population (Brexit). It’s easier to get used to the bugs.

Btw, you can buy fly screens on-line in custom sizes if you want to.

As to the cats, just tell her to leave them behind with a friend.
