These are very popular in Europe, with city municipalities and institutions deploying them en masse on their grounds... but I've never seen any insects around them. One would think they'd be swarming with life? Can anyone confirm these are useful, and not just greenwashing "look, we care" signposts?
- thinkingemote 5y agothey work, but I don't know whether they keep on working past a year or two.
- johannes1234321 5y agoThey can work longer, but one should keep an eye on them and sometimes clean from parasites etc.
- fleddr 5y agoThey most definitely work, insects need very little and will almost immediately move in, granted it is positioned correctly (outside wind, not in full sun). People just have the wrong expectation. It's not some entertainment device where you permanently see a 100 insects flying in front of it. Most insects stuff it with food and/or their larvae.
- apexalpha 5y agoI have a small one in my garden and it's filled up with all kinds of insects. Obviously if you place on in a parking lot with no other habitats around insects won't find them, but they do work wonderfully.
