Dealing with dust and insects at a holiday home

Short answer

Holiday homes usually stay closed for long periods, then the windows are open all summer long. That means dust and insects get into the home easily.

Problems specific to holiday homes

Dust from dirt roads and gardens
Sand flies and tiny insects: Can get through an ordinary insect screen.
Pollen: Garden plants and the weeds around.
Humidity and mould: In homes left closed for a long time.

Fit a hook-and-loop window filter to the windows; it can be taken off and stored at the end of the season.
