    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.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    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!

    Sandie,

    I have screens in my apartment and believe me, I don't trust them, as Mollie Rose fell out of the window recently. I went out and bought 3 expanding screens that I keep in the windows as a safeguard against this happening again.

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02
    Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day". 1994-2009
    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    DO NOT BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!!
