Eave fan????

[Richard Moore]

You just never see it all! So...any guesses what this is for? Big fan right at an open eave just to one side of the kitchen/dining area slider to the rear deck. No indication it had ever been connected or ducted to anything else, outside or in the attic.

The only thing I could come up with is that they used to barbecue directly beneath this, but then I would expect to see grease and smoke stains on the fan. Never did find a switch for the goofy thing.

OK,

Insects are attracted to the light at night and the fan sucks them up and sends them bye-bye. [:-bonc01]

Makes as much sense as anything I can come up with!

Ok...then on to the next question...had a pair of these hopping around a tree right outside the living room window during the inspection. Should I put them in the wood destroying organism report? []

Ironic huh? They are a treatment that combats wood destroying organisms. The only problem is the method itself is also destructive.
