Flying insects

21 years ago

During the early spring and summer months we have a lot of flying bugs that fly around the soffits and back door. I was wondering about hanging moth balls starting in spring. Has anyone tried this. The bugs are mud dobbers and a selection of others that I don't the names, just weird looking bugs from the woods. We don't live in the city.

Spraying exterior of home with insecticide will tend minimize insect problems.
