Care & Maintenance

After each nesting season (typically late fall), clean out old nesting material to prepare for the next season. Remove the viewing window or access panel to empty contents. Brush out debris and inspect for damage. If needed, rinse with water and allow to dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals or cleaners. Inspect annually for wear and make repairs as needed. Repaint every few years to maintain appearance and wood protection.
