If it copper or aluminum screen you can use a very fine wire or plastic
(nylon) thread to sew a patch in place.

It's best if you weld rebar in there for strength. Then paint it yellow.

Clear bookbinding tape. A needle and some aluminium wire. A
rectangle of screen slightly bigger, with the ragged ends poked
through the existing screen and bent over. Or stuff a platic
spider in the hole.

I've used fishing line as well as small gauge wire, either work
equally well.

Is it vinyl, alumininum, or some other kind of screen? The patience
here of some people who will answer for all kinds, even though the
poster doesn't say what kind, exceeds my patience.
