The nest has only been empty a handful of days this summer.

    Gotta ask why you did it then…

    It’ll be fine for a year or two, but you really don’t want it there once it starts to rot.

      I put foam between it and the wall. Not hurting the wall yet. I hoped she would use it but didn’t expect her to have 5 maybe 6 broods.

        Foam will give you more time…

        But the concern is it’s going to attract carpenter ants or termites, and they’ll quickly spread to the rest of your garage and start eating/living in the truces causing an eventual roof collapse.

        It’s a great idea and good for the environment, just be careful it don’t result in actual damage.
