The only issue...They are nifty and attractive, too. The only issue with them is that they need to be cleaned regularly to avoid spreading diseases among the insects. If you're willing to clean them, they're great. I opt for leaving stems of plants and a few piles of leaves in the garden over the winter, and then doing an annual garden clean up. It seems easier to me. But there are so many ways we can Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749963622029128336.post-1439574829151845902019-02-15T14:34:29.377-06:002019-02-15T14:34:29.377-06:00I have never heard of this, oh my GOSH!!

What is the plural of mantis anyway, manti? Anyway, I have arachnophobia, and could never do this. Because I am sure some very bad neighbors would move in, too. But it is so interesting! I wish you great luck, and look forward to watching this Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749963622029128336.post-59708392371713488412019-02-15T13:01:05.905-06:002019-02-15T13:01:05.905-06:00This is pretty awesome Carla.

They sell bees and bug houses as well as butterfly houses in the seed catalogue. I'm not a fan of bugs either but I know they have their place in our garden but we had an over population <br /> of earwigs and in only one night they destroyed a whole tray of marigold. They left big holes in my Clematis. and other flowers.

I've never heard of such and the only bug hotels I've ever seen were the ones where "roaches check in but they don't check out"...LOL I hate bugs but I know they are beneficial to soil and help keep things in balance.
