Lovebugs Season: How a Screen Enclosure Can Protect Your Outdoor Living Space

Spring and summer in Central Florida also bring the lovebugs season, which can make it difficult to enjoy your outdoor living space. Lovebugs are attracted to light and can be found near outdoor lighting fixtures, making it hard to avoid them. But there’s a solution to this problem: a custom screen enclosure.

A screen enclosure can greatly reduce the number of lovebugs entering your outdoor space by preventing them from getting to your lighting fixtures. This can provide an area to enjoy the outdoors without the annoyance of lovebugs.

When it comes to maintaining your screen enclosure during lovebugs season, it’s important to keep the screens clean. Lovebugs can accumulate on the screens, making it harder for fresh air to flow through. Regularly cleaning the screens with mild soap and water can help remove lovebugs and other debris.

Another important maintenance step is to ensure that the enclosure is properly sealed. Any gaps or holes can let lovebugs and other insects in. Checking for and sealing any gaps or holes can help keep lovebugs out.

Additionally, it is a good practice to use yellow light bulbs in outdoor fixtures, since yellow light is less attractive to lovebugs, also avoid leaving lights on during nighttime when the lovebugs are more active.

Overall, a screen enclosure is a great way to protect your outdoor living space from lovebugs and other insects and to enjoy the outdoors without the annoyance of lovebugs.
