As I have read about SBB's, I have a couple of questions.
What size screen does one use?

1/8"
pros: good ventilation, mites drop through, juvenile SHB drops through,
very little debri build up on screen
cons: Adult SHB will not fall through

1/4"
pros: same as above, but the adult SHB will fall through,(hopefully before
flying away)
cons: wax moths can enter through the screen

Can someone give some insight as to the better size before I build them
with the wrong size screen?
