Apart from being a joy to watch, ladybirds are extremely useful creatures. An adult ladybird eats about 100 aphids per day, which is a good reason to make them comfortable in your garden. The ladybird house is designed to allow ladybirds to shelter whilst keeping out other likely inhabitants or predators and ladybirds can access it easily. Ladybirds often hibernate in a group together and it is advisable to put some leaves or a corrugated carton roll inside to make them feel at home. Also, frozen ladybird larvae can be put into this house for biological control of aphids. Four drainage holes in the bottom. Sides enclose the floor to prevent water coming in. Packed in a full colour gift box

It is perfect for beginners who are interested in wildlife and nature.
