What screen keeps very small bugs out?
The windows I want to keep open during the summer are very close to a patch of woods. When it gets nice out very small bugs fly right through my screens. I went to homedepot to find some replacement screening but nothing they had was fine enough. The screens I currently have look to be just as fine if not more fine than the ones at homedepot. Is there some specific type of screening I should be looking for?

Thanks for the link. I have been googling but all I find are homepages for Chinese manufacturers of misc. insect screening and mesh. That twpinc.com is the first place I've seen where I can actually buy anything.

There any cheaper places? Their prices for aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper are all the same. 30-40 mesh ( .021 - .015 aperture) is what would keep the bugs out. Replacing 4 screens would be $225...

It's called "gnat" screening that has smaller openings than ordinary screening. You'll probably find it in a shop that makes screens.
