"TO CLARIFY THE CONFUSION...
By netting I actually mean a very thin net cover inside the window that prevents bugs, flies and spiders from getting in."
Ah..thought you meant 70’s style Betty Nets! |

"Do you mean net curtains or those insect screens?
Yes insect screens!
Dunno, maybe we didn’t think we needed them as not a hot enough climate."
The monstrosity of a spider I had to kill today says otherwise  |

I have 1 on my daughters window, she is terrified of moths. This way she can keep her window open and the light on and there is no screaming. |

Aye! Moths, spiders, mosquitoes!
I had a bloody mosquito flying by my ear the other night when I was trying to sleep! |

I have them in all my windows on all 3 floors, as i want privacy with daylight not gaps where people can clearly see in from blinds, or none installed, so when you walk past the house you can see every item and them if in the room.
Even after i purchased them, my neighbours installed them aswell, new build area, not rifraf people. |

I don't know why we don't have them. I'd hazard a guess that until recently we rarely got warm weather for long enough to have the windows open. |

50's 60's and 1970's style window covering much favoured by aunts and grannies of the time.
Hence gave rise to "net curtains twitching" when nosey neighbours wanted to see what you were up to. |

"If you look out of your window and a majority of your neighbours have net curtains...chances are you're living in a retirement village!  "
Spiders round here just walk in through the doors. |

Get some spider away and spray on your frames of windows and doors every couple of weeks  |
