My house backs up to some woods and we have been experiencing some serious back issues the past few years. Our pack porch gets covered in bugs this time of year and it makes it almost impossible to stay out there long. Not to mention all of the dead bugs and webs left behind.

Anyways, I was wondering if there was a bug light of some sort that I could put in the backyard to try to control this issue. Would I put it away from the porch or near it? Any other options are greatly appreciated as well.

Flowtron (1.5 acre) bug light 25 feet from patio. A few wick lanterns around the patio for smoke. Thermacell near your sitting area.

I'll probably replace my ceiling fan on our back patio. What is a good outdoor ceiling fan? Patio space is about 25x10 with a 10ft ceiling
