Fighting Pests With Uv Lighting

[1diesel1]

a buddy of mine has turned me on to the fact you can ward off bugs such as spider mites and aphids with UV lighting. After doing a little research I have come to the possibility this just might work. Here’s the UV light I will experiment with in this quest to be bug free. Currently I do have both spider mites and aphids active in my veg room. I gave the first treatment with the UV lighting today. I will post progress or failure as I attempt this experiment. Everyone needs to remember UV lighting is dangerous to humans and animals. It is nothing to play with!https://askentomologists.com/2015/0...-insects-what-about-other-types-of-light/amp/

Like the concept, what measures are you taking to avoid damaging your eyes?
