lovebugfarm Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 So I remember someone mentioning a certain kind of screen it was a ridged plastic sheet the holes were so small it was measured in microns. I tried searching the forum but couldn't find it. I saw it on Amazon a few months back but can't remember it now. Any help will be great thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Maybe brass micro mesh? That's the smallest screening that I know of, but it's not made from plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmont Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm not sure what you're talking about but I use round aluminum vents normally 3 inches in diameter from roundvents.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebugfarm Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 I was thinking round vents but by pesky pallids are so small getting out of standard window mesh are the vents tighter than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmont Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I think they use regular window screen in the vents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanislas Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I use stainless steel frying pan splatter guards as screens. These have a very fine mesh and are relatively cheap.

Distaff Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I was at one of the dollar stores yesterday - I think it was Family Dollar, but I get them confused. Anyway, that particular dollar store had sets of two small mesh strainers (like something you would set over a coffee mug), in a very fine metal mesh for $2. The label didn't say if the metal was aluminium, or stainless steel - given that this is a "dollar store," one can't say for sure it won't rust, but next time I'm there, I'm going to pick up a couple sets. I am assuming that once cut out from the ring, the mesh can be flattened out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
