Eco-Gardening and UK Ladybirds 

With the world going green, it only makes sense that more and more of us are implementing eco-gardening methods.  Eco-gardening promotes sustainable living conditions for wildlife and benefits the environment through the use of natural means and without the use of chemical pesticides.  This helps promote healthy living, environmental conservation, and clean water among other things.  One of the main ways to make sure your garden is eco-friendly is to use the UK ladybird for natural pest control.

The effects of chemical pesticides commonly used in gardening include water and soil pollution in addition to adverse health effects in both humans and animals.   There is a long list of health problems associated with chemical pesticides such as brain damage, cancer, and birth defects.  These pesticides also have implemented a decline in all useful insects.  Eco-friendly gardeners can help avoid these negative effects by taking on a healthy gardening perspective and using only natural methods such as making their own insecticides, using drip irrigation, and using beneficial insects to control pests.

Beneficial insects, such as ladybirds (also known as ladybugs), can help combat nasty pests within any garden.  The UK ladybird is a natural predator that consumes slugs, snails, and most types of aphids such as the blackfly and greenfly.  In fact, both full grown ladybirds and ladybird larvae will eat up the aphids attacking the garden.

Many eco-friendly garden shoppes will offer ladybird breeding kits in which collections of ladybird larvae colonies to start the natural pesticide process.  Usually each ladybird kit will contain about 250 larvae, which can usually cover about 50 square yards of a garden.  The larvae will grow into ladybirds which will then lay eggs to continue the natural process and protect the garden.  Additionally, you may also purchase a ladybird tower which will provide your ladybirds with a natural habitat within your garden.
