Wildlife WorldLBT Ladybird Tower

Very nice ladybird houses, just hope they use them, had plenty of aphids this year

Looks great in the garden, hope the bugs like it too

I suppose this has been a waste of money as no ladybirds (or other insects for that matter) have been near it or inside of it yet. I placed it next to a climbing rose that always has a small aphid attack hoping it would encourage insects to make it their home with a good food source nearby making it a natural aphid remover and would save me the time of spraying the rose. In a perfect world eh? The little tower looks lovely in the garden. It’s of a decent quality and hopefully one day it will be used.

Very sturdy and bigger than I expected. The local children love it!

So this product arrived superbly packaged. (lots of packing in the box to prevent any damage during transit. You have to unscrew what turns out to be the 'ground spike' from the main body of this tower and insert it in the hole underneath. This is all easily achieveable.I bought this for two reasons, I have just taken down a large tree which contained many ladybirds so wanted to give them somewhere to live in, and also I thought my nieces would find it an added attraction as I am also getting chickens (and in time, a beehive and butterfly home, etc).So, as I worked in the garden and was cutting up logs I made the effort to place any ladybirds I found on the tower. It wasn't easy - they seem to prefer the warmth of your hand! Anyway before long I had placed around six or seven on it and left them to their own devices.It was quite surprising when this morning (a nice warm one with the sun shining on the tower) to see six ladybirds 'sunbathing' at each little sun-facing window! I then popped a few more on and it seems to be going well so far!My only real criticism if I had to pick one would be that the wood doesn't appear to be treated so it may be worth just giving it a coat of something (just on the roof) prior to popping it outside - also remember to get it in the sun for the ladybirds to get their sunbathing in!! A nice little attraction and I can see myself getting another one in the not too distant future. I have also added a couple of my own photographs for others to see.

Extremely well made and the attention to detail is magnificent. Hopefully I'll get some"lodgers" soon.

I ordered one of these for my mum. It was so beautiful and of such good quality I decided to order one for myself too. But the second delivery was really bad quality. The wooden base was chipped, the roof pieces weren't flush with each other and glued had seeped out everywhere where the ladybirds had been stuck on. So one extremely good product and one of very poor quality. So it depends on the skill on the individual making it. Not sure I would risk buying another one.

Very attractive. My second purchase.Resists all weather's in the garden.Bought for insects
