This is a SHOUT OUT, to ole SABO &/or those with a creative mind when it comes to deterring small flying critters.
I was just sitting in moth obersvation chair, enjoying our warmest day in quite a while. Turns out that the "bad moths" noticed the warm weather and they were out in force, for the first time, in my yard this year. I am now HORRIFIED by this sighting. The 10 foot bait net is a joke, they are laughing at me, they are landing 5 feet in front of me, one here, then one over there. I deployed the nets on my flowering girls, Purple Muxy included.
SABO, can we dig up some hill-folk ingenuity and built a device that has a 4 to 8 foot range, that (quietly) shoots debris, like sand or any similar matter, that will deter, wound or forever, scare off, these pests? Seriously, these moths love nothing more than the "sticky" when it comes to the best place for them to lay egg, after egg, after egg, etc. I need a quiet device that can act like what a shotgun does to any bird from 10 feet.
But, with out the noise and without that range. I don't want to hurt anything but the moth. Any ideas like a James Bond type device or a Spiderman web-shooter, something? anything that will capture these killers, pop into ole SABO's noggin? Anybody else that invents creative thoughts, please share 'em.
Otherwise, I'm gonna be spending hours on ye old moth egg, removing, stool, with my egg removing, tweezers.
