Added bug zapper inside cover. Used bucket to lower zapper down into 2/3. I then used duck tape to derect the light off the plants.

Bingo!!!!! I think I got it figured out. I used duct tape and wraped the bucket a few times. All light is derected away from the plants.
I have not seen one moth tonight. Last night the zapper killed 6 and I killed 3 with my broom. Not a one tonight. Maybe those were the one's living in my plants. IDK. I only been watching like an hour though. The bucket works kind of like a trap. They flop around in the bucket and work right into the light. Also do not have dead bugs falling on my plants. After only one day IMO this is a must have. Better than letting them do there thing all night. I will add another one outside just the help draw them away. I seen some nice big old school ones on CL I may check out. You know the kind that you can here zapping a few houses away? The only reason why I want another one is I am not sure if I am drawing them into the carport or not. A larger one outside the carport may help with that.
Check it out. Plants are pitch black with bug zapper about 5 feet above them. I think it may work but not sure. we will see though.
How it was before.
