At Rafiki Pest Control, we provide high-quality mosquito mesh solutions designed to protect your home, office, or outdoor areas from mosquitoes, insects, and other unwanted pests. We specialize in two main types of mosquito mesh: Aluminum Shutter Mosquito Nets and Magnetic Mosquito Screens. Each option offers unique features, materials, and advantages to suit different spaces and lifestyles.
1. Aluminum Shutter Mosquito Mesh
An aluminum shutter mosquito mesh is a combination of a fiberglass mesh and a durable aluminum frame. This design ensures maximum protection against insects, crawling pests, and small animals, while allowing airflow and natural light. Aluminum shutter mosquito nets are particularly effective in urban and suburban homes where malaria-carrying mosquitoes and other pests are common.
Available Colors
Aluminum shutters are powder-coated for a sleek, modern finish. Rafiki Pest Control offers four standard color options:
- Black – Perfect for modern homes and offices
- Brown – Ideal for wooden or earthy-themed interiors
- White – Clean, minimalistic, and versatile
- Grey – Contemporary and stylish for any home design
