Dear Sharon, The 25 micron screen size is a bit of overkill. Here in the US, we generally recommend a 16 Mesh screen size for insects, which translates into 1.0 mm openings, or 1000 micron. You can find the different screen sizes broken down at this website: http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1417 I hope that this helps, Pat Kelley Patrick J.

The stuff that is marketed as 'fly screen' seems to have quite large openings. The finest mesh I've sourced is 25 micron - is this overkill? Many thanks in anticipation.
