Insects fulfil many tasks in gardens by pollinating plants and naturally combating pests. They are an important part of ecological gardening. This insect hotel offers various species of insects the opportunity to nest and overwinter at the same time.
The natural habitat of many insect species is threatened by changes in their environment and this hotel helps to protect them. The red compartment provides shelter and accommodation for green lacewings, ladybirds and earwigs, which are all real pest controllers as they eat aphids and spider mites. Fill the compartment with fine wheat straw so that these insects can hibernate.
Bees often hide in hollow straws, with each species favouring a different size. It is advisable to clean the bamboo straws with the brush provided before hanging up the insect hotel, as bees like "tidy" tunnels.
