Question A few years ago I put my c-9 lights up and everything was cool. Next year when l put my lights back up about a third of the lights worked. So l start the replace one at a time thing and l started finding small worms at the base of the lights. l cleaned them out and they worked fine, have you had this problem ? l live in Oregon.......
Answer Hi.
I have never heard of that happening. (I am in NJ) Did the worms come in while they were up, or when they were being stored? If it was when they were stored, you could put them in sealed plastic bags. My guess is that they went there when they were up to get warm.
