One of the less sweet things about summer is bugs and insects. If you live anywhere in Oklahoma, by now you may have already accepted these critters as a part of life in summer. But what if we told you that there was a way you could enjoy your outdoor spaces without being bugged (quite literally)?

Retractable patio screens have been developed as the perfect solution for keeping your outdoors - porch, patio, and deck free of insects.

Bugs and pests love summers in Oklahoma but even during winters, the temperature doesn’t drop enough for the critters to be eliminated completely. Grand view’s motion screens can help you keep your patios bug-free year-round.

We take you don’t need to read a blog to know why you should protect your homes from bugs, but we wrote one anyway. Here are three reasons to keep away bugs and how a patio screen can help.

Protect Yourself and Anyone You Have Over from Bites

Chilling on the porch, hanging out with friends, or having some alone time to yourself? What could possibly go wrong, except…wait, BUGS. Itchy, swollen bug bites are strictly no-no. What’s even worse, some people are severely allergic to bites.

You no longer need to douse every surface in bug repellents, simply install retractable screens and you should be able to block the pests. Go ahead and host your barbeques, cookouts, and pool parties without having to worry about interference from these unwanted guests.

Prevent the Transmission of Diseases

The most obvious reason why bugs are so unwanted is that they carry pathogens with them. Pests are unhygienic and very capable of transmitting diseases to humans and pets alike. Ticks can act as carriers of the bacteria responsible for Lyme's disease.

Mosquitoes may spread the West Nile virus or Yellow Fever virus. Sometimes, bugs can also contaminate your food and drinks by landing in them. Leave behind these troublesome bugs with motion-sensitive patio screens.

Enjoy Your Outdoors in Peace

Even if bugs were harmful, the chirping and chittering alone is reason enough to want to get rid of them. Now, you can even turn on the patio lights without worrying about attracting mosquitoes and moths. Grab a book and an iced coffee, proceed to peacefully enjoy your precious me time. Bug-proof motion screens have the tiniest holes to prevent even the smallest bugs from entering.
