Worry ABout Water!
The Ultimate Bug Hotel Umbrella Policy
A luxurious bug hotel can quickly become an abandoned ruin if rain gets past the front desk. Without proper rain proofing, water will seep into all the rooms, sending existing tenants fleeing and damaging any developing baby bugs inside.
Rooms will become damp and rot, while any additions like dry plants or cardboard tubes practically disintegrate under the pressure of persistent rain.
Wet housing leaves your guests vulnerable to fungal diseases, mould and all sorts of nasties. Don’t let your bug hotel fall to ruin—invest in a weatherproof roof or a well protected location that offers full protection from the elements.
If your guests are especially precious, you can even relocate their nesting materials to a dry, cold space during the offseason for extra care.
With these thoughtful upgrades, your hotel will reopen in the spring as the premier destination for the buzzing elite.
