Ladybird house + ladybird voucher-great gardening gift

Description

Adult Ladybirds - We supply native British Adalia bipunctata ladybirds in tubs of 25 ready for release in your garden! Sent by 1st class post, they are available from May to August. Ladybirds are natural predators of aphids (greenfly and blackfly) as well as being a gardener's / youngster's favourite. By releasing ladybirds, you can permanently increase the number of these beneficial insects in your garden and decrease the number of pests. They should be released directly onto aphid infected plants or dotted around the garden either early in the morning or late evening. Ladybird House: this attractive, hand-crafted, wooden habitat for ladybirds and other beneficial insects has a central chamber filled with natural material, which provides a cosy place for them to bed down. Holes are drilled in an upward angle, so the ladybirds can reach this insulated and safe inner chamber. If necessary the roof panel may be removed for inspection or cleaning. Position next to aphid infected plants, in a sheltered, warm spot away from prevailing winds in flower beds, rose or shrub borders or even in a planter on a terrace. Dimensions 30cm high x 15cm x 15cm. House and voucher sent together making this a great gardening gift together with delicious chocolate shaped ladybirds all in a presentation box
