Installing a Ladybug Shelter in Your Garden

Installing a ladybug shelter helps welcome essential natural allies to control aphids organically. Made from FSC-certified pine wood and zinc, this bug hotel provides a natural shelter to preserve the local population of ladybugs or encourage their reintroduction in a specific garden area.

As the first cool weather arrives at the end of summer, these precious allies seek shelter to hibernate peacefully. Positioned outdoors, this shelter allows you to secure and protect these insects so they can be useful again once the winter season is over.

When to Install a Ladybug Hotel?

Observed presence of aphids on your crops or plants
Arrival of the first cool weather at the end of summer

Project to conserve or reintroduce ladybug populations

Role and Life Cycle of Beneficial Ladybugs

Ladybugs are useful and essential guests in biological pest control against aphids. An adult ladybug can eat up to 100 aphids per day, actively contributing to plant protection.

As summer ends and cold arrives, their behavior shifts toward finding shelter. Ladybugs often hibernate in groups and need an adapted place to protect themselves from cold and external threats throughout the winter.

Protective Design of This Ladybug Hotel

This ladybug hotel features four horizontal openings at the front and back, complemented by side slits to facilitate insect access. This specific design allows ladybugs to shelter from the cold while keeping most competitors and predators outside.

A trap door on the front provides direct access to the interior of the refuge. To make this habitat welcoming, it is necessary to insert loose leaves or a roll of corrugated cardboard.

Installation Instructions for the Ladybug Shelter

Open the access trap located on the front face of the bug hotel.

Place loose leaves or a roll of corrugated cardboard inside the shelter to create a cozy bedding.

Close the trap carefully before proceeding with the installation.

Mount the flat back of the shelter directly against a wall using the keyhole opening.

Leave the shelter in place at the end of summer to allow ladybugs to settle in for hibernation.
