How to protect your home
Custom mosquito nets are adapted to your exact dimensions and opening type. They are more durable than temporary adhesive systems and keep natural ventilation possible in bedrooms and living rooms.
For most homes in Geneva, the key entry points are bedroom windows opened at night, kitchen windows, and terrace doors left ajar in the evening. A made-to-measure screen is usually the most durable option because it keeps airflow while avoiding temporary tape or magnetic kits that wear out quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Are tiger mosquitoes really present in Geneva?
Yes. Geneva authorities monitor the species and publish guidance and maps for affected zones. That does not mean every home is equally exposed, but it is enough for many households to install insect screens on the most-used openings.
What openings should be protected first?
Usually bedroom windows, children-room windows, and terrace doors. These are the openings most often used for evening ventilation and therefore the most common insect entry points.
