+**Key Points**
-{{:wiki:wasp hotel1.jpg?200|}}
+  * Ensure materials are free of treatments.
-{{:wiki:wasp hotel2.jpg?200|}}
+  * Provide a rain shelter to slow decay of the timber.
-{{:wiki:wasp hotel3.jpg?200|}}
+  * Mount minimum of 60cm off the ground to prevent cane toads gaining access
+  * Put in a place free of disturbance and away from traffic, to prevent inadvertent contact of guests with gardeners.
+The hotel can be built from any materials, the one in the photo is made from scrap pine from an old building project, screws, galvanized wire and a hardwood stake salvaged from the garden.
