Ladybird Barn

Full Description

This attractive wall hanging Ladybird Barn is made from FSC timber and provides a perfect home for ladybirds and other beneficial insects. It features a hinged lid, that allows easy access to the central chamber, which means it is ideal for releasing our live ladybirds into i.e. tip ladybirds in when they are available. Featuring a central chamber, drilled holes and hollow canes, it will provide shelter for ladybirds PLUS lacewings, bees and even butterflies may use it as well.

This Ladybird Barn features a lid that opens into a central chamber – this is then filled with bedding material i.e. bark, straw, shredded paper or dried leaves / flower stems. The hinged lid means you can easily add your own ladybirds i.e. order adult ladybirds, lift the lid, tip them in & then watch as they spread out to tackle the pest problems in your garden. This house provides a well-insulated & cosy home for ladybirds & other beneficial insects PLUS it has drilled holes in the base AND hollow canes in the base for solitary bees such as Mason Bees or Leafcutter bees.  The roof is painted with water based  paint, while the timber is untreated with is best for insects, so it will change colour as it ages and weathers, but it can be left untreated or if you want you can use a water based wood stain. It is designed to be wall-mounted, so position on a wall, tree or fence where it will catch the morning or afternoon sun amongst climbing plants, which are affected by aphids. Height 24cm x Width 15cm x Depth 13cm. N.B. We supply LIVE Ladybirds (adults and larvae) between Feb and August each year.
