flyproof

Insects cannot enter

Flyproof means impervious to flies—designed or treated to keep flies out or prevent their intrusion.

A flyproof screen covers windows to block insects.

A flyproof container protects food from contamination.

The word can also describe surfaces or treatments that repel flies: a flyproof coating for outdoor furniture.
