Insect Habitats

This range of insect habitats are designed to add attractive features as well as valuable habitats to a garden. Produced by a company based in the heart of the English countryside they are constructed almost entirely from sustainable natural materials. Most of the wood used in the construction of our insect houses is produced under the FSC scheme or from offcut/waste wood. These products are treated with water-based finishes instead of solvent-based paints and stains.
