If you're serious about fermenting and distilling you need something to keep flying insects out of your work. I use one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Voltage-Electri ... iller+lamp
Worth every penny and no faffing around running after the little bastards trying to swat them and wrecking other things in the process :D

I have used a similar item for the last number of years,aimed mostly at the midgies,but happy for any flying thing it zaps,excluding the odd magnificent moth that it occasionally slowly scorches to death;-body mass/energy thing going on there.
I have found that some flying things are just not tempted by UV light.
Mutants? Space Aliens?
I,personally find the ability to chase the buggers with a certain death racket,a solace in such circumstances.
Actually,I think it was John51 recommended this.
If I mention enough user names,I will eventually get there!
