Ladybird and Insect Lodge
Our new Ladybird lodge is designed as a safe retreat for beneficial insects.
The hinged roof opens so that you can introduce your own natural materials, such as rose cuttings, twigs, bark & straw or hay to enhance the sheltered environment.
The Ladybird Lodge is also designed to accept live ladybirds which are available to order online from specialist suppliers. The ladybirds can be introduced into the lodge from where they will venture out to eat garden pests such as aphids or greenfly, scale insects and mites. Your garden helpers can be viewed through the perspex side window.
