Often underestimated but loved by any gardener. Lacewings are inconspicuous beneficial insects that naturally protect your plants from pests. Especially the larvae of lacewings eat large amounts of aphids and spider mites and are therefore also referred to as “aphid prolifers”. With this large lacewing box, you can offer the busy animals a retreat for winter directly in your garden. The red colour of the box magically attracts the small insects. In the interior filled with wood wool, these will find ideal conditions to survive the cold season. In addition, some other welcome insects, such as ladybirds will find shelter in this insect hotel. The lacewing house can be attached to trees and house walls using the fold-out fixing strip on the back. Take care to place the box in areas protected from the weather at about 1.5 – 2 m height. The entrance openings on the front and bottom are also protected from wind and rain by the overlapping slats. A wire mesh inside prevents the wood wool from falling out. The solid professional fly box is made from solid multiplex plywood (main wood type) and is approx. 27 x 30 x 29 cm (L x W x H).
