Went and looked and my previously clean porch light fixture now has a nice layer of dead termites.

When you’ve turned out all the lights in the house but just remembered your 2 year old’s night light is still on....
Well good luck kid.

I know this happens every year, but tonight has been one of the worst I've seen in the past 10 years.

Came here to post this. My son looked out the window and said “oooh, moths!”

I ran to turn off all the lights. They were EVERYWHERE.

Somebody needs to take one for the team and strap about 4 head lamps on, then go running down the street.

Be sure to get it on video though.

I just got them out of my garage by using my iPhone flashlight. Walked them down the street. Worked like a charm.

My wife insists we need to open the door to let the dog go pee. It's like a plague out there.

I wasn't just referring to the annual termite swarms but the stinging caterpillars, the flying teeth, green heads, roaches, and not to mention the incessant parade of skeeters.

We have a ton of frogs in the backyard and tonight they are croaking so loud I can still hear them through my headphones.

I replaced my porch light with a green bulb a few days ago, haven’t had any issues yet and it has actually helped tremendously with the everyday bugs too
