Gardirect Wildlife Wooden Ladybird House, Lacewing Home, Natural Insect Hotel;

Ladybirds are an asset to any gardens. They have been prized by gardeners in centuries for their voracious appetite for aphids, greenflies, mites and other damaging insects. A ladybird can devour more than 5000 aphids in its lifespan.

This ladybird hotel helps to create an environment for ladybirds to shelter, breed, hibernate and thrive in your garden. In the meantime their activities provide an organic, natural way of pest control. Ladybirds like light colored wood and the slot openings allow them to crawl in and out as they wish. The house that has good amount of air circulation and light is a perfect shelter for ladybugs to stay away from all the wind, rain and predators.

We recommend to mount the house on a fence, post, tree, or on the ground sheltered by plants. A major attraction for ladybirds to come and stay in your garden is food. Ladybirds eat two things, pest insects and pollen. By growing more flowers and plants, you will be rewarded with a small army of pest eaters that can keep aphids and greenflies under control.
