We started a discussion about this with the guy at the paint store who swore that bees won't build their nests under a blue ceiling because they think they're too exposed. He said if you're going to do it, any color blue works (in the south, they use a blue-green color called "haint blue", Martha Stewart uses her own "Porch Ceiling Blue"). The best finish on an old ceiling is semi-gloss; high-gloss shows up every little imperfection, and flat won't reflect the light.
I heard it was a way to extend the sky over the porch.Have you ever noticed that The porch ceilings at Grandma's house are blue as well?!Food for thought.

So would it help to paint the ceiling blue in the patio to eliminate bugs?
