The I Hate Butterflies Community

[kaceface]

I am a CPA and have to do an inventory at a nursery. At first I was afraid of the alligator that lives in the pond, but then my dad reminded me of how many butterflies would be attracted to the plants. And, therefore, to me. My boss has actually offered to let me out of it, but b/c it's a new job, I don't want to seem lazy/crazy. Does anyone know of bugspray or anything else that may repel them?

There is no repellant for moth.
Fire smoke could kepp them a little at bay, but won't really reppell them per se.
The only thing i can thik of is using an UV light to actually attract them, just place it far, far away from where you will be. Most moth in the vincinity will be attracted to it, as will be many many other kind of insects...

Yeah. Most people wouldn't want to create a repellent. They think these disgusting, scary things are beautiful and actually want to attract them. My parents actually have a butterfly bush in their back yard. Something about it actually attracts butterflies to them during the spring and summer. I try to forget about it, but sometimes, when my mom marvels at the fact that she can sit and watch them just fly up to it, I just shiver and say, "Why would you want to watch that? They're scary." My family then proceeds to think I'm nutz and asks me why I think they're scary. I know we've all been through this before, so I won't say anymore. I'm starting to shake and get scared...I think I'll go do something else online.
