Alarm Sensitivity

Left my window open overnight at a remote campground by accident and the alarm went off twice during the night. No sign of animal paw prints on the hood in the morning but there were a couple of mosquitos in the vehicle in the morning. Is the motion sensor THAT sensitive such that bugs flying around will set it off? Puzzled.

Mine was super sensitive from the factory. Found the little box up under the dash by the steering column. There is a little **** on the side to adjust it. Mine still honks once in the thunder is really bad but it does not go into full alarm mode.
