Beneficial Habitats - we all need a hand in the garden, vegetable patch or allotment sometimes and although toads, frogs, ladybirds, lacewings, bumblebees and butterflies might not be your immediate choice of assistant, all will gladly clean up the pests which can plague your fruit, vegetables and ornamentals. However, these most welcome friends of the gardener insist on a reciprocal agreement - they'll hunt down and eat all the pests you don't want, just as long as you provide them with a roof over their heads. And that's just where we can help!
Investing in a suitable house for the list of guests above will reap dividends in the long run. There'll be less forking out on sprays, traps and other pest control products and no more creeping round the garden after dark on a slug hunt, as your pest-guzzling friends, grateful for their des-res, will do the dirty work for you. Not only have we attractive frog and toad houses, natural-looking insect habitats for ladybirds, lacewings, bees and butterflies but educational and illuminating (literally!) solar-powered insect theatres, giving you an insight into the nocturnal insect world. And when you consider all this is totally, 100%, cast-iron Mother Nature approved, you'll wonder why you didn't give these creatures a home earlier! |
