The other thing in the UK is that screen doors and windows are non-existent so if you want to open them for fresh air you're inviting all the bugs in as well
There are nets with velcro tape.

They don't even have screening? Guys wtf get a hardware store that's worth a shit.
I wish we did in Sweden as well. Parts of the country has a fuck ton of mosquitos during summer.
Inward opening windows are unfortunately not uncommon which makes screens a pain.
Newer windows can usually do that fancy flip trick and a bunch of other fancy stuff though.
Inward opening windows are the standard in Germany and nearly everyone just buys a cheap bug-screen set that you can simply wedge into the window frame. They cost like 20€ a pop. There are all kinds of solutions for this.
