This is what you need
Sturdy wooden pole or fence post, about 150 cm long
old tea / coffee pot
Straw, dry leaves or wood wool
Let's go!
Clean the container and dry the inside thoroughly.
Pack leaves, straw or wood wool relatively tightly, but not too tightly, into the can.
Pound the wooden stake into the ground in a sunny, sheltered spot and place the pot on the stake with the opening facing down. Alternatively, you can place the pot over a fence post.
The ladybug house should be securely attached so that wind and storms can't blow it down. You may need to stuff some filling material into the pot.
Tip
Did you know that a ladybug eats 100–150 aphids a day? And its larvae consume up to 600 of these sucking insects before pupating.
