The Oddity
I habitually leave a front porch light on at night. In east Texas, from April until Autumns' first frost, bug lights (yellow) and bug 'zappers' are popular. This is due to our enormously high insect population. A variety of flying insects are drawn to our outdoor lights. And, all too often, mesquitos will drive people indoors from their porches and patios. My daughter was due in late tonight so I also left the carport light on for her. I thought the light would attract a multitude of bugs...But I was wrong, it didn't. I then walked around to the front of the house and looked for bugs to be flying around the porch light...No bugs. I could hear crickets, Katydids, and Cicadas although, not nearly the normal summer volume. I then realized that I have not been troubled by mesquitos this summer. Yesterday I tried to stir up a Fire Ant bed so I could exterminate them. They did not respond....Folks, this has been an unusually hot, dry season. The oddity continues.
I have had a lot of ants in the garden but not the house like last year(touch wood) I have had nothing flying around, much except the dozen or so bees I have adopted .Mind you CA is not as buggy as Texas or Florida ..we are living in strange times I do know that we have had chemicals sprayed from the air, check out Beau if them have done this in your area ...
wow, thats really strange.
