Nobody wants to book a stay in a hotel that’s prone to flooding!
To keep your insect hotel in top condition, make sure it’s placed in a spot that’s sheltered from rain and damp conditions.
Excess moisture can dampen the spirits of even the most resilient bugs, so a dry, protected spot is key to ensuring your tiny tenants have a comfortable, long-term stay.
Pick a quiet corner for your bug hotel, away from windy areas—gusty conditions aren’t ideal for your tiny tenants.
Besides potential damage from the wind, the constant winds can make your bugs feel unwelcome, disrupting their stay and making it harder for them to thrive.
Keep things calm and cozy for a perfect check-in!
Moulds, fungus and disease are bad news. These unwanted invaders spread easily through contaminated guests checking in, visitors, added materials and even carried through the breeze!
Without careful management these invaders quickly turn quality rooms into uninhabitable spore suites.
Preventing outbreaks requires top-notch hotel management to keep the rooms safe, clean, and inviting for your intended tiny tenants.
Mites are the ultimate freeloaders, catching a free ride on hardworking pollinators to their next hotel.
They breed rapidly, filling the hotel with thousands of tiny competitors who quickly crowd out the rightful tenants.
Inside their new luxury accommodations, these pests raid the pantry, devouring the food supply and leaving the bug larvae struggling for survival, often leading to an early checkout.
Insect hotels can become fully booked with freeloaders when parasitic insects sneak in and lay their eggs alongside resident larvae.
These unwanted guests hatch, raid the pollen supplies, and check out the rightful tenants.
Larger hotels are especially vulnerable to this parasitic takeover, as these repeat offenders tend to spread from room to room if left unmanaged, turning a once-thriving five-star retreat into a bug bed-and-breakfast for uninvited guests.
Woodpeckers, rats, and other birds can turn a bug hotel into an all-you-can-eat buffet, especially in colder months when food is scarce!
Insect guests can make tasty treats, and once they get a taste for the “room service” inside, they may cause major damage to reach it, leaving behind unsightly “renovations” in their wake.
