How to mosquito-proof a poorly fitting window screen frame?

My rented house is old and nothing is straight or at a 90° angle, so the removable mosquito screen frames that fit in my windows don't quite fit properly. There's gaps of varying sizes around all edges of the wooden window frame, allowing mosquitos through. Any idea how to patch the gaps? I can't completely encase the window in a net sheet as the window handle is an odd shape and sticks out. Sadly the landlord won't do anything about it submitted by /u/Ibsidoodle [link] [comments]
