Mr. No-See-Um!

I met Anthony at the local hardware store, Jacksonville FL.

Anthony of Screens on Wheels.

Spring is coming!

I asked him if he could re-screen our sliding screen door with a finer mesh to keep out No-See-Ums. “Phifer has a 20×20 grid screen which keeps them out. [Normal screen is 16×16 mesh.]

I have the good stuff in-stock!”

Within hours he was at the boat to take the frame, and returned it all fixed up with the new stuff installed!

Punkies aka “No-See-Ums”

While on the bridge or outside, Catnip Spray (a natural herb) also works!

Pleasant smell and feel on skin too.
