What is a beetle hotel and why should they be attracted to the garden: they will help in the fight against pests
An experienced gardener knows that not all insects are classified as pests.
Some beetles even help to deal with garden enemies by devouring huge numbers of larvae – the most common example is the ladybug.
It should be noted that the same ground beetle is capable of eating the Colorado potato beetle and wireworms.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to attract beetles to your site?
First of all, it is better to refuse to use chemicals that destroy all living things within a fairly large radius.
You can build a small house from an old box, crate, flower pot or other container that will serve as a “hotel”.
You can put moss or wood shavings on the bottom of this container.
Beetles love such shelters and will survive bad weather or strong winds there. When the time comes, they will pounce on the pests in the garden.
