    Does being airtight mean it’s significantly easier to keep out pests (rodents, insects)?
    Ever since I’d first heard of airtight houses (and figured I’d fit nets on all the windows) my arachnophobic ass has been fantasising about a spider-free house…

      In the ventilation system there is filter for the incoming air and I always find some insect in them but they can’t get through. I the only way for insects to get in is through the front door, for the garden door I have a net.

        Thanks for the answer, just makes me want an airtight house even more!
        Shame I could never even afford a draughty old dump, let alone anything nice, but a girl can dream lol
