G i ven the increased problems and costs associated with pesticides, no modern greenhouse should bew i thout the proper insect barri e r. G r e e n -Te k Insect Screens, corre c t ly installed, prevent insectp e n et ration, yet provide maximum possible air fl ow, essential for optimal crop yields.

Re ga rdless of the cooling and ventilating system that you use, you need to consider insect scre e n .S c reening inta ke vents will produce dramatic results, but all greenhouse openings, including serv i c ed o o rs (which should incorp o ra te double screened doors), should be screened for best re s u l t s .

A N T I -V I RU S Insect Screen excludes White fly, Aphids, Leafminers and up to 80% of We ste rn Flower Thri p sin field applications. Seve ral ye a rs oflaboratory and field testing havere s u l ted in a pate n ted screen st ru c t u rethat maximizes air circulation, whilekeeping pests out.

InsectScreens

I N STA L LAT I O N1. Check that the frame, structure or wall to which the

insect screen will be fastened is as square aspossible, to eliminate twisting or shortage of fabric.

2. Metal parts should not touch the screen. In thesummer, heat accumulates in metal parts, andmight damage the plastic screen. Therefore, it isimportant to cover metal parts with white waterbased latex paint or white tape to protect thescreen.

3. When you install the screen, keep the screen squareand parallel to the sides of the greenhouse. This willkeep the fibers of the screen parallel. If the fibers arenot parallel to the greenhouse sides, the screen willbe shortened in length and in width.

4. When you install several screens together whichhave not been stitched, you should connect the firstscreen to the sides of the greenhouse. Then,connect the second screen to the first one and tothe greenhouse sides. Continue in that way until theentire greenhouse is covered.
