Abstract

Insects, debris and the like are prevented from moving into a building via an open door by a fan unit that is mounted on the side of the doorway to extend for the entire length of the door and to direct air outwardly with respect to the building at an oblique angle with respect to a plane containing the doorway. The fan is activated when the door is opened and de-activated when the door is closed.
