Comments on: Do yellow light bulbs really keep bugs away? http://pestcemetery.com/yellow-light-bulbs-bugs/ Finally a place for pests to rest Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:56:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: The Bug Doctor http://pestcemetery.com/yellow-light-bulbs-bugs/comment-page-1/#comment-10132 The Bug Doctor Sat, 03 Dec 2011 15:29:00 +0000 http://pestcemetery.com/?p=1540#comment-10132 It's probably just cyclical. Sometimes insects build up for whatever reason (behind the scenes) and seem to explode. Remember-the mating, eggs etc. happened before your warm weather so this has most likely been happening un-noticed for some time. It’s probably just cyclical.

So far, not much or a change. So my question is... My bugs are 95% outside little Moths..Have they gotten worse because our New England Nov weather this year is so warm? And will they go away when the cold comes? My garage doors are covered! I did yellow lights instead of the white ones on my driveway. So far, not much or a change.

Cold producing light= very efficient. http://pestcemetery.com/lightning-bugs/ That's interesting about the red light- I think if some of my readers put one out of their doorway at night they'd be attracting a different kind of pest... lol Something like a lightning bugs!

That’s interesting about the red light- I think if some of my readers put one out of their doorway at night they’d be attracting a different kind of pest… lol

I'm sure I've seen some red light bulbs but perhaps for safety (who knows) it's not touted as a bug light deterrent. Or maybe-- Someone passing your house at night might think it was an 'adult party club' and that might attract pests you definitely don't want. lol Excellent point Zed,

I know a lot of flying stinging bugs can't see red. All this talk about yellow, but what about red? I know a lot of flying stinging bugs can’t see red.
