What is a No-See-Um? What Screen will Stop them?
Ceratopogonidae, or biting midges, are a family of small flies (1–4 mm long) They are also known as no-see-ums, midgies, sand flies, punkies, and others in North America, and sandflies in Australia. They are closely related to the Chironomidae, Simuliidae (or black flies), and Thaumaleidae.
They are found in almost any aquatic or semiaquatic habitat throughout the world, as well as in mountain areas. The smaller members of the family are tiny enough to pass through the apertures in typical window screens. As a result Phifer has developed four products to help protect against the these pesky pests. Phifer Fiberglass No-See-Um Screen and Phifer Tuff No-See-Um insect screen are tightly woven mesh designed to control tiny insects. While densely woven, these insect screens still allows ventilation and provide some daytime privacy. Phifers NEW 2017 Aluminum high visibility insect screen stops the tiny insects while maintaining amazing visibility. Phifers Solar Insect Screen works as both an insect barrier and a fantasic solar and privacy screen.
