Thanks, Ken. It's not a dumb question at all. We have 3 vents that open most all the time except late at night. Our area has nearly constant winds of 10 to 15mph with gusts to 25mph. We have a solar fan that runs most of every day, and an electric one running all the time.

We are getting screening tomorrow to screen the vents. That has to be done. We figure our traps will eventually catch the critters. The insects are a huge problem. I did just read that I could use neem oil as a spray on most plants and it won't hurt the worms. I'm going to try that tomorrow. It is ok even for food plants. I talked to the worm sellers and they also recommend diatomaceous earth in the beds to get rid of some of the crawling insects.

I'm sure we can solve these problems. It will just take time, and having to leave all the time doesn't help.
