I once had a problem with wasps and birds wanting to raise their
young in my garden shed. It also had openings so air could
circulate (I guess). I took some window screen, scissors, and a
loaded staple gun out and "covered" the openings.
Do you folks use window screens over there? I know they're not very
common in other parts of Europe. If so, don't use the metal screen.
Get the other type - not plastic, but like plastic/rubber.
If you don't have window screen, then you could use something like
it. Fine netting or even some sort of inexpensive lace. That stuff
used for wedding veils comes to mind.
I think the dictionary/directory idea is dead. Or very close to it!
