I'm new to VFT. I want to put my VFT outside but cant because of barn cats next door digging up plants. ( Can't get rid of them) So using indoor lighting. I have had my Trap for 3 weeks. I'm using a desk lamp with a 60wt led buld 5000k. i did a temp. Test and at 3 in from thermometer it got to 75 deg. So 3in above plant for 12 hours should be safe?

I recommend you put them outside regardless. It would be cheaper and easier to find a way to protect them outside.

Get a motion activated scarecrow. Or go old school and use electric fence, if you use a peace of string as a visual aid with the wire after a week all you will need is string to keep animals out of area's

Outside, enclosed in some chicken wire or something similar.
