Wildlife World LBT Ladybird Tower

Beautifully made and really well crafted. I can’t say I’ve seen many ladybirds using it yet, but I’m hopeful they’ll eventually find it and make it their home. It looks great in the garden and I’d love them to move in and help keep my plants healthy. A lovely decorative piece with the potential for real wildlife benefits.

Cute! A ladybird landed on this no sooner had it put it in the garden;

pleased with item but cannot access inside to put leaves and greenfly food

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

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

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.

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.

This ladybird house is an attractive addition to my garden. Although despite adding honey to the holes, and placing among the flower beds, it is yet to attract any ladybirds. I have tried poking through the holes, however, some appear to be misaligned, so I'm not sure if the ladybirds could in fact shelter in the internal cylinder. I had separately ordered ladybirds on a separate website, which I had hoped to provide shelter with this house, unfortunately they did not arrive, so I can't comment whether they would stay there. Although I have seen a couple of ladybirds in my garden , just nowhere near the house. But it is a sturdy construction and the stake makes it easy to setup in the ground. The decorative ladybirds are a little twee, but look quite cute from a distance.
