Re: “IF you don;t like attracting BUGS in yer bedroom, git you something else in the house that will attract them like a bug zapper or something that emits light , maybe a blue or purple glow..”
That's a great idea! Of course, we have a lot of bugs at various times. Right now, the mosquito population seems to be peaking. The crackling of the bug zapper might just keep us up!
I've been places that had more mosquitoes but, I'll tell you, I don't remember being in a place that had more MOTHS. We left our front porch light on one afternoon, and when we returned late the front door must have had a thousand moths covering it.
Most years, we have tons off hornets too - all kinds. Paper wasps, black hornets, yellow jackets, etc. It used to be common when I arrived here in the summer to find five or six wasp nests being built on the house and deck. Not so much this year, though, which is fine by me.
In the spring, we have black flies. I've got a creek on one of the property boundaries and the flies like running water. Black flies are like fleas with wings. If you spend an hour outdoors, you might find that you have thirty bites on your arms, bites that itch like crazy for the next three weeks.
I'd take all of them before the @#%$!ing TICKS. My big hope for next year is that because I've kept the field mowed all of this year, *maybe* the ticks will go away. That's not the way to bet, though.
