Do you have SCREENS on your home?

we do have screens here, I have no clue if they are required lol but all the newish variety windows, doors with windows, and patio doors here have screens. so at my house the only windows that have screens are the windows we put in after we moved in, the rest of the windows are a really really old style that hardly lets anything in even when the windows are open lol they are just 3 golf ball sized holes covered with a board that you lift off and wala your window is "open"

Yep, I have screens. I live in FL, but it's not that often that the windows are open since it's so hot. I don't see any houses in FL without screens. When I was in Wisconsin in May I noticed that a lot of houses did not have screens.

We have screens here too. And I have no idea if they are required, but they sure are a good thing to have.

Here we have lots of bees and wasps and those kinds of insects. Not to mention mosquitos and flies.

I'm in WI and I've never been in a house without screens in my life.

In SC, I've lived in several places without screens and with the windows painted shut. The rental laws in SC are practically non-existent, harkening back to feudal law.

My current place actually has screens, but these are not secure, so I am careful opening the window. I do not want the critters outside.

I have always had screens on my window. I'm not sure if they are required or not here in Iowa.

Taz Zoee that is interesting, as San Francisco was the only place I've ever been which had NO screens! None at either of my friends homes (2), none at the condo we rented. I was amazed! Which is what prompted me to ask this question.

Let's hear from more folks!
