Worst Tuesday I've had in this trade - 3 false alarms before noon

Got a call from a pissed off homeowner whose motion detector kept tripping on nothing. Drove 45 minutes to find a huge spider web right across the sensor lens. Has anyone else dealt with bugs causing phantom signals like that?

You ever show up to a job and realize a moth was the culprit? Found one wedged in a window sensor last month, set it off every time the wind blew.

Wait, you drove all the way out there for a moth, @paige514? That's rough. One time I spent an hour troubleshooting a false alarm. Turned out a spider built a web across the sensor. Felt like a total idiot. Bugs outsmarting us. That's the job I guess.
