This handcrafted ladybird house to encourage beneficial insects into your garden. This ladybird house provides the ideal nesting habitat for many of the species of ladybirds found in the UK. Ladybirds are the gardener's friend, consuming large quantities of aphids. Can be wall-mounted or located in the ground using the integral ground spike. Ideally, insect houses should be located in a South, South East or South-West facing location in a sheltered position close to, but not obscured by, vegetation. This insect house was designed in collaboration with the UK's leading insect charity - Buglife.
