Providing Security and Pest Control for the majority of bug classes, birds and other pests as tested by the USDA agricultural research service. In facilities with larger quantities of flour, rice or grains many times these customers are requesting the 30 mesh screen to keep out the teeny tiny "no seeums" such as the sawtooth grain beetle, and the lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha Dominica. The 30 mesh is an excellent proven minuscule insect barrier. We recommend if you need help in keeping out the majority of bug classes and security from human intruders the 12 mesh should be your choice. Watch the video of keeping bad guys out, they are using an axe on a 12 mesh screen.
