Essentially, they're boxes with lots of spaces for insects to nest. Particularly the kind of insects which serve as pest control, like predatory wasps.

You've probably seen them around, and they're easy enough to construct from scrap materials.

These are awesome. Sometimes take a little while to establish but super effective once they are.

@SolanumGF @bumblebees
Yeah, I guess you need to wait awhile for the insects to show up. They always do eventually though.

@InvaderXan @bumblebees
I've helped set up a few. Always got asked why they didn't have insects right away. They are just like bird feeders and houses. Sometimes you have to wait for them to find it. Usually doesn't take too long but placing is important.
