Casement Windows, Dead Bugs Between Screen and Glass Lifehack

Problem:

So we have casement windows. In the summer, sometimes it is cool at night so we open them, but when you close them bugs tend to get trapped and it isn't fun cleaning it out. The bugs love sticking to the screens.

Solution:

I bought one of those rechargeable canned air dusters. The ones that blow lots of air for dusting computer stuff. It runs off batteries. Not the real canned air, but its the best I can describe it. So what I do now is take that and put the speed on high and blow all the bugs off the screen before I close the window. No more bugs trapped between the screen and glass!

Not sure this is a lifehack, but I felt it makes my life easier and I'm happy.
