Hedgehog houses provide
an inviting, warming
habitat for hedgehogs and
small mammals, this
habitat makes the perfect
home in your garden. Not
only seen as a cute
addition to the wildlife
that frequents your
garden, hedgehogs
provide a much more
important service. As
being insectivores, they
are an effective method
in removing pests, such
as insects and slugs from
your garden flowers and
foliage. Eating around
200 grams of insects each
night, hedgehogs are
often lured to gardens as
a means of being a very
strong pest control
solution, without you
having to use
pesticides. Our hedgehog
homes come with full
instructions to position
the hedgehog house in the
best spot in your garden
and tips to invite
hedgehogs to use your
hedgehog house. Providing
a revealing insight into
the lives of one of the
UK's most common
nocturnal garden
visitors, each hedgehog
house includes a hinged
roof which allows you an
your family to view the
hedgehogs much closer
than previously allowed.

This bee nester has a
carcass made from rice
husk and bamboo and has
no plastic in its
construction. It comes
with a massive collection
of nesting tubes (63),
designed for Mason Bees
and Leafcutter Bees, and
will provide up to
potentially 360 bee
cells. The Big Bee
Barrel can be fixed with
a drainage pipe clamp or
doubled rope against a
wall fence or tree.
However when fixing, it
is important to minimise
movement so ti should not
be allowed to swing in
the air. Site the Big
Bee Barrel to face the
morning sun ideally
between 1-2.5m high
ensuring it is also in a
location sheltered from
rain. Once bees start
using the nester they
will lay their eggs deep
in the cardboard tubes,
creating individual cells
as they continue this
process outwards. Later
you will begin to see the
ends of the cardboard
tubes slowly being capped
with either mud (mason
bees) or small circular
sections of leaf
(leafcutter bees) as the
bees seal off the ends
off the ends of the
tubes. After this stage
it is important to
monitor the nester and
look out for potential
woodpecker damage (they
will peck out the ends of
the tubes eating the
developing grubs inside).
Later in the autumn this
can be prevented by
covering the front of the
nester with a wire mesh
(approximately 8mm grid)
ensuring you leave around
3cm clearance from the
tubes. In Late
autumn/early winter when
cold or frosty weather
prevails it is best to
move the nester to an
outhouse or simular to
protect the developing
bees before returning to
the garden in late
winter/early spring when
the risk of frost has
passed. Once used, you
should see occupation and
use of the nester
increase every
year. Width: 603
