Repelling insects

[Chiz 0]

Has anyone found a good way of repelling insects from day/night cameras?

 

At night time they are really interested in my cameras

 

Once insect tried to eat the camera last night!

 

I have a motion log to go through (house was burgled recently and the offenders were spotted by a neighbour 3 nights previously doing "reconnaissance"). And the insects are just causing too much motion.

 

What I want is something I can spray every couple of weeks or so.

 

Or maybe something battery operated mounted alongside the cameras that repels them.

 

What have people on here used?

get a bug zapper, and put it out of the view of the camera, best next to it, and that should cure your problems in a few days.

if you can get your hands on Baygon bug spray, you only need to spray that every few weeks or so .. though its not sold in the Us as its serious poison .. where are you located ..?

Depending on the type of insects, a yellow "bug light" near the camera might help...

I'm using mothballs. I put mothballs in an old sock and drape it over the mounting. Every so often I see a moth fly by, but they don't stick around. This approach has worked to keep spiders away too... no more spiders making their webs in front of the lens. You'll have to replace the mothballs about once a year.
