[BC] Re: FeedHorn Bug Covers

We're in the corn/rust belt and get frozen precip in the winters.  Would the screening accumulate ice and snow during our winters?  One of my dishes is an off-set with heated reflector and I've had freezing rain block the feed horn cover on it.  

In the summer I've had wasp nests in a couple of the prime feed dishes.  My boss won't buy wasp spray.  I found WD-40 (it was the only spray I had) will knock the wasp down but not kill them.  My size 10's finish the job fairly well.

I've used several different things over the years to do this, but I have 
settled on one. That is black non metallic fly screen secured by large 
hose clamps (round member adapters for the tower guys).
