And it has proven to be true. We have a horrible problem with wasps and mud daubers and I wanted to keep them away from the house as much as possible. The mud daubers now make their nests along the edges but not directly on the ceiling. I'm a firm believer now ;D <br />Plus I love the cool comforting look of the blue. It lessens the harshness of the sun during summer.❁Velma ~Down Our Country Road❁https://www.blogger.com/profile/00688975970842662227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1306133227631777119.post-13736303778664601422011-11-26T19:26:38.710-06:002011-11-26T19:26:38.710-06:00Yes I love blue ceilings also.
