	Wildforms Beneficial Bug Houses

Our Wildforms Beneficial Bug houses are made of durable oak off cuts and wood from sustainable sources,(unlike others that are often made of softwood or ply and will not last long) and bamboo. They are not treated, and should not be treated, as this would harm the very creatures you are trying to attract. They are designed for year round use and can be used during summer for egg laying and a place to hibernate during winter. Ladybird/Lacewing attractant can be used to attract them to your house.
