We sometimes get large hornet queens sleeping the winter off inbetween splits. They are pretty groggy and usually I shake them off, but every once in a while I have to catch one loose in the house and escort it outdoors.
Ill take snake skins over mouse nests every day.I keep just over a 1/3 cord under my synthetic deck about 8-10’ from my basement knee wall close to my walkout basement door. I use this for emergency wood during storms so I don’t need to go to my various main stacks spread out on my property. Don’t notice lots of bugs but did have a snake skin once when getting some wood. I do have my foundation sprayed every spring as a preventative for ants etc.
