The white monofilament material provides a secondary benefit by reflecting UV rays. This disorients the visual navigation systems of incoming pests and discourages them from landing on the structure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAperture vs. Thorax: Choosing Your Mesh Size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInsect exclusion is a precise physics problem.
