Here in Jersey I have a heated/air conditioned smoke hut. In NC, I'm out in the country, and used to have problems with moths until I put 23 watt yellow "bug light" CFLs in the outside lights. No more moths. Weird that I have mosquitos here in the city, but I don't have any problems with them sitting on my rear deck at night in NC.

Oh, and I hope you put away your IPhone instead of the Rat.

Neither. Bat ate the moths do that I could enjoy the rat without putting down the phone

Cool beans. I'm glad you where able to finish your rat. I've seen bats flying around the NC house. I may have to look into one of those bat houses.

Is there a constant wind at your country house? I'm thinking of putting some big ass fans in my garage to keep the skeeters out.

Yes, there is a breeze coming down off the mountains most of the time. Nats, moths, and flies, but no skeeters.

Jersey is nothing but one giant trash can and I can't wait to get out of here for good. 3 to 4 more months of renovations (think "flip"), and the Jersey house goes on the market.

Gorgeous night but now the light from the iPhone is attracting moths the size of effing pterodactyls.

Do I suffer these winged demons or leave this a Dirty Rat unfinished to escape into the cabin?
Moths don't bite. Hope you made the right decision.

Nature worked herself out - stayed out there, bat came along and ate the moths, left me in peace to finish the cigar.

Skeeters can't fly in winds over 1 mph.
