In any case, if anyone has found a solution to this problem, please let me know, thank you.

I had the same problem. Took the rear facing glass piece out of the lawn light and wrapped it in aluminum foil. Placed it back in the lamp and the problem with bugs on the house is better. Not perfect, but better.

I put a GREEN bulb in for November. Starting to see a few more.
