BugBlock Bug Hotel
Encourage biodiversity in your garden with BugBlocks, a modular insect hotel created in collaboration with Buglife. Designed to support essential pollinators and beneficial insects, this thoughtfully engineered habitat provides a safe and practical nesting space for a variety of species.
BugBlocks are produced using sustainable, biodegradable materials made from a combination of cornstarch-based PLA and recycled wood fibres. This eco-conscious material blend lowers environmental impact while offering strength, weather resistance, and a natural wood-style appearance that fits beautifully into outdoor spaces.
- Sustainable, biodegradable materials with a natural wood-like finish
- Modular system allowing blocks to be rearranged or replaced
- Designed for bees, ladybirds, lacewings, and other beneficial insects
- Simple assembly and easy maintenance
- 10% of profits donated to Buglife to help fund UK conservation project
Each interchangeable module is designed to attract different insects, including bees, ladybirds, and lacewings. The clever block system allows you to easily assemble, swap, or rearrange sections depending on the wildlife you want to support. The design also makes cleaning and maintenance simple, helping ensure a healthy habitat for visiting insects.
Placement Guidance
To get the best performance from your BugBlocks:
-
Fix them securely so they don’t move or wobble.
-
Install them on a south-facing wall or post, around 1–1.5m off the ground.
-
Position them where pollinators can easily reach flowers, bare soil, and water (a shallow dish is ideal).
Cleaning & Swapping Routine
-
Every two years, remove the used blocks in November/December and store them in a cool, dry outbuilding (a simple shoebox works well).
-
Replace with a fresh set of BugBlocks so the habitat remains active.
-
In spring, return the stored units outdoors to allow insects to hatch. By July, once they’ve emerged, clean the blocks with warm soapy water and pipe cleaners. Let them dry fully, ready to be swapped again in the next two-year cycle.
