Stopping butterflies flying into the conservatory
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:07 pm
I've searched old forum posts and seen others complaining about butterflies coming into their conservatories. I have a south facing conservatory and whenever I slide open the doors on a sunny day I get one or more butterflies coming in. I'm forever hoying them out with a net or plastic jug and piece of card. I also keep destroying spider webs in case they get caught in them. I encourage butterflies into my garden with suitable plants but this is a bit of a drawback.
So, does anyone have any ideas? I know having silhouettes of birds of prey on the windows discourages birds flying into them, but don't know if it discourages butterflies. It is a white conservatory with lots of colourful objects inside, maybe that attracts them. Ideas most welcome as it's become an almost daily summer ritual.
Cheers
