All their food (Lots of other bugs) and poop are depositied and is acidic and will rip the fine finish right off the walls.
UNNM entomologists were amazed at the # of plain ‘ol ‘Millier’ Moths that were attracted to the newly constructed triangular shape of our LORAN X-mitting tower as well as the 100,000 watts of power @ 100Khrts. The moths had thought they found their master mother creator a year after we turned on the transmitter the middle of the New Mexico desert. Those damn moths were eating the concrete and rubber caulking holding the building together as well as stripping every live plant for miles. I had special made 10’long big blue bug zappers for them. The birds loved that part because piles of fried moths are pretty good for breakfast, I guess.
Insects are specialists. We dont know exactly what they are specialists at, but they are very good at doing what ever they do. And they are some of the most thorough creatures on the planet.
I wish my honey bees had half a good a year as every other insect in my yard this year.
Hi Delta 21,
Thanks for the explanation. What a mess things become when two worlds collide. Hope you can find a moth repellent soon.
I’ve seen the same thing on mountaintop transmitter sites. I think it is a function of the power levels that seem to draw them rather than a specific frequency. Which leads me to think it is the electro-magnetic field energy effecting them and causing them to go crazy like they do. Would be interesting to study and surprised if some university hasn’t already done so. Thanks for that experience.
