Schwegler nest boxes
We have been so impressed with the quality of the Schwegler
boxes that we supply them as part of the nature conservation
mitigation packages we offer local authorities and other clients.
We carry all the popular models in stock, but are able to
obtain any product in Schwegler range.
Nest boxes are one of the most effective ways of helping birds,
bats and insects. The loss of mature trees and lack of natural
sites means that finding nesting sites is becoming increasingly
difficult for some species. Provision of nest boxes in gardens
and woodlands is an easy and fun way to help.
Schwegler boxes offer the ultimate in nest-box design.
Made from a mix of sawdust, concrete and clay, they
are impervious to weather and marauding predators and also have
excellent insulation properties. In addition they are rot
proof and have an anticipated life of 25 years or more.
Flat pack self-assembly nest boxes
Our timber nest boxes are available in a Flat Pack Form with
all the parts such as nails and plastic included along with
mounting ties. We use 18mm exterior grade plywood. Entrance
and mounting holes are pre-drilled removing the need for
power tools or saws. All boxes come pre-treated and
include assembly instructions. Moth Traps
Our moth traps come complete with electrics wired up ready to
use . All electrics are supplied in an IP56 waterproof control
box, with compression flanges and 10 metres of input lead and
2 metres of output lead. We offer "Skinner" type,
Robinson, Heath and the new Johnson Traps.
Skinner Traps are manufactured from exterior grade plywood
and softwood. They are designed to fold flat when not in use
for easy storage. As with traditional skinner traps no based
is supplied. The traps can either be placed direct on the
ground, on a white sheet or on a timber base easily obtained
from a hardware store
Robinson Traps are the traditional design and offer the ultimate
trap for capture retention.
Heath Traps are ideal for use when trapping away from a mains
supply as they operate off a 12v power supply.
The new Johnson Traps are extremely lightweight, made from
a fine mesh and supported by metal rods - they are ideal for
overseas travel. They can be operated from either a 12V power
supply with 8w or 15w Actinic tubes or from the mains supply
with either 8w Actinic, 15w Actinic or Mercury Vapour Bulbs.
