screen door..... puerta con tela metálica

One dictionary's version.

screen

Rather outdated translation as many screen doors have plastic fabric now.

pantallas de puertas?

I've also heard "moscoderas" used in Sinaloa where window screens are a matter of life and death due to periodic epidemics of Denge Fever.

I have likely not spelled the word correctly; I can't find it in a dictionary. Could be strictly local.

Anybody else ever hear this word?

  • I actually tried looking up moscadera, because I had heard it, but couldn't find it in the dictionary. I thought it might be mosquitero, but that was mosquito netting. I knew it had something to do with flying pests. - qfreed Nov 22, 2009 flag

gfreed: Your comment about mosquitera rang a bell. That's what I heard. It was used to describe new screens we installed.
