That's why every house has to have screens on the windows. I even have a couple of retractable screens in some of the doorways. Unfortunately the insects can find the littlest of cracks and they still get through. Thankfully this only happens for a few weeks during our summertime.

It's all welcome of course, but the place really needs a good drenching so the moisture can get down deep into the ground. I've tried the buckets of water under the lights like you, but we just get too many insects and loads of them don't seem to go anywhere near the BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053337601505232620.post-78773723997728598982015-02-05T08:19:28.711+10:002015-02-05T08:19:28.711+10:00Ugh!

I don’t mind creepy-crawlies in the garden but I want my house to myself :-) <br />Lovely to see your collection of butterflies, there has been so few here in Britain the last couple of years – lots of bees and moths but very few butterflies.

Being so close to bushland doesn't help either. We see far more variety in insect life here than we ever did living in the inner city suburbs.

The perfume from both the Gardenia and the White Butterfly Ginger came wafting down from the garden bed to the back verandah where I was sitting enjoying a cup of tea.
