all our windows have screens and they are all open 99% of the time spring, summer and fall.

 

all of the houses i clean that are under 10 years old, NONE of them have screens and the windows are never open...they reply on air conditioners for "fresh" air.... the windows have no way TO be opened anyway. they are sealed units! ( i guess in case of fire they have to break a window to get out).

I didn't know windows without screens existed!

 

All the windows that open have screens (big picture windows that don't open do not). The ones that open, open up/down, and the screen is on the bottom half. They open inward for cleaning like Ruthie's. In Michigan the state bird is the mosquito, so of course everyone has screens.

Seriously, I go to bed at night grateful for four walls and a real roof because they help keep out the noise. It is that loud.

I'm the opposite. We have a retention pond across the street from us (it's on the other side of our street....no houses there). Our master bedroom window faces that direction and I LOVE the sound of the insects and the frogs. We have quite a lot of enormous bullfrogs that love to croak loudly at night, but I enjoy them.

We have screens and open the windows alot in the spring and fall.  I would not be able to open the windows without screens.  All the bugs getting in would drive me crazy.
