How does the use of cedar wood effect ladybug and butterfly populates in houses made for them?
I’ve heard from multiple sources that cedar wood is best for bird and bat houses because of its insect-repellant attributes and the fact that out of all the woods on the market, it apparently lasts longest.
My question is .. does the cedar wood used for butterfly and ladybug houses REPEL the bugs they’re made for?
I don’t want to make a butterfly house out of cedar only to have all the butterflies in my area flee from it.
Help!
Thanks.
Have you tried googling it?
I have found tons of sites for ladybug houses.
You might want to try that, type in:
ladybug houses
butterfly houses
and then you can try:
what repels ladybugs
what repels butterflies
and see what ladybugs and butterflies do not like, and then you can decide from there which type of wood to use.
