Does anyone know if the weave of the material is sufficiently small to prevent whiteflies?

I didn't get any whitefly on my plants where I used this cloth. It's sort of filamentous...I don't think whitefly can get through it. I did not even have mine all the way to the ground...so if this comment helps, I think you might be successful in keeping whitefly out. You can also use Safer insecticidal, which I use during the winter months on plants I bring indoors.

I'm pretty sure it is..unless they've changed the close knit weave of the material since I purchased it last year. The good thing about Amazon is if it's not what you want you can return it to them. They are great that way. Hope this helps :)

Yes. It is a diaphanous cloth that allows 85% of the sunlight through but if used correctly, will keep bugs and critters out.

I don't know about small flies (or large ones!), but it definitely works well for mosquitos and is fine around grass, even newly planted grass. Everything I have read indicates it is supposed to be safe where people are and kids play.

Unless the material is a fine fabric or if your using a wet spray, it shouldnt bother the clothes. The quilt look is flatter than you can see just from the picture.

When we used our Wenzel screen room, we did not have any trouble with insects coming in. I actually don't remember the mesh drains, so they must not have been a problem.

It's quite thin material so it will protect from a drizzle, if it's not too long. So, I wouldn't count on too long. Additionally, ours doesn't maintain position in a breeze, so the rectangle shape turns.

The mesh on the fly screen is VERY small. I don't know that we have used this tent where there are no-seeums, but I have been around them and I don't believe they could get through this tent's mesh.

According to the label, it could be good for up to one year. I would wait and see if it is still effective after all your rain. If you see white flies starting to appear again, then re-apply. I live in So. Ca and we only had 4 inches of rain total this year. When I see the insects re-appearing again, I re-apply.

We purchased this netting to encase our blueberry bushes. Our intention was to keep birds from eating the fruit but I have to admit I have not never seen a butterfly inside the area. The only insects I have seen in there are small bumblebees. This is an excellent product, seems durable, and we expect it to hold up for years to come. I would recommend it.

I would have to say "no" but we didn't use it but once last year and had no problems with no-see-ums where we were. For keeping out flies, bees, and other bugs it is great. Make sure the bottom makes contact with the ground everywhere so they can't get in.

Yes. It can't hurt, but all those pesky mosquitoes will. I've seen larvae in the most obscure and protected of areas -- don't care how covered the container might be. These bits are easy, and they do seem to work... for about 3 years now. (My worry is that the local critters will eventually develop a resistance. But go for it now!)

Small bugs could get into it due to a small amount of open netting in corners of it.

Hi Jack, We've had great luck with these. Not only does it keep away the mosquitoes but it also keeps away the 'smaller and harder to see' bugs.

It hasn't leaked on me and I have used it for years under virtually all conditions. If I ever got wet it was either from condensation dripping off of the fly through the screen or trying to get in and out of the Solitaire in the rain. You can spray the fabric of the rainfly with "Scotchguard" water repellant. If that is not sufficient I think you could probably use the seam sealer liquid to coat the fabric.

I don't think so. It is a very tight weave that prevents moisture from getting through.

No these are not quite fine enough, however if you search the site for a muslin produce bag, those are quite sturdy and should protect the produce from flies.

I'm pretty sure insect shield is a repellant made into the fabric. One has it, one doesn't.
