FAQs:
How effective is this mosquito net compared to store-bought options? While it may not be as durable as commercial mosquito nets, this DIY version provides a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative that works well for short-term use or areas with fewer mosquitoes.
Can I use this mosquito net outdoors? Yes, but it’s essential to bring it inside during heavy rains to avoid deterioration of the egg carton material. If you're using it outdoors frequently, consider reinforcing it with sturdier materials.
