There’s no better feeling than going outside when the warm summer days start to gradually turn into crisp, cool autumn mornings. When the leaves transform into a warm palette of oranges, yellows, and reds — foliage reminiscent of the holiday season, snow days, and spending quality time with loved ones.

The transition to fall in the Northeast also means those pesky bugs that are out and about during the summer have now gone away. Now, whenever you decide to enjoy the refreshing fall weather on your porch, enjoying a fresh cup of coffee, you can leave your Sunesta retractable screens up worry-free!

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs

In the Northeast region of the US, the summer heat tends to bring out an abundance of pests and bugs that can be quite bothersome.

Common pests and bugs in the northeast region include:

  • Carpenter bees
  • Wood boring beetles
  • Stinkbugs
  • Mosquitos/wasps
  • Moths
  • Centipedes
  • Ticks
  • And more!

According to the United States Forest Service, “Hotter summers with more dry periods will be particularly problematic for northeastern US forests, because these conditions stress trees, which can increase survival and population growth of pests that specialize on weakened or dying trees,” and, “More frequent and intense severe storms may provide host material for insects that are attracted to freshly wounded or broken trees.”

Typically, summers in the Northeast tend to be warm and humid — prone to storms, droughts, and nor’easters. This weather is heaven to certain pests and bugs! During bug season, our retractable screens are here to protect you and your family by keeping these critters out of your outdoor living areas.

Temperatures Down, Retractable Screens Up!

Not only are our retractable screens valuable during bug and pest seasons, but during the fall you can feel free to slide them up and let that cool, crisp Autumn air take over your senses. Year-round, Sunesta’s retractable screens transform your outdoor living spaces —  allowing you to enjoy the great outdoors with peace and protection no matter the time of year.

During the fall, the climate in the Northeast begins to cool and the bugs that were present go elsewhere, thereby allowing you and your family to enjoy your outdoor area doing what the cozy fall season is all about! Carve pumpkins, enjoy the fall foliage, or sip on some hot cocoa while admiring your surroundings. Sunesta’s retractable screens, the Sunroll and the Sentry, are here to enhance your outdoor living experience no matter the season!
