90% of my alerts every day come from bees wasps or hornets fly by crawling on sitting there doing all kinds of strange things. They apparently think the black dot in the middle of the camera face is some kind of a hole that they can enter and make a nest. Either that or the infrared attracts them, or it’s making some kind of a sound, emitting some kind of a wave that attracts all of these insects.
If we could figure out what it is we can make one of the best traps for pasty stinging insects that has ever been invented!
Anybody have any idea what this guy is trying to do?
I used to have this issue. There could be a number of reasons why wasps like smart cameras. They especially do this to cameras that mounted under an eave or little overhang of some kind.
I suspect they are mostly checking to see suitability for nesting, but there could be a ton of other explanations.
Recently I just spray some essential oils (Peppermint, lemongrass, clove) mixed in water around (not on) them and wasps don’t find it as enticing anymore.
