Ark Workshop LADYBUG HOUSE 2 PACK for natural insect aphid control flower garden

Description

ABOUT US:
As owners of The Ark Workshop, we’ve been designing and building wildlife housing & feeders for over 30 years. We've been fortunate to have had many of our products sold in popular retail chains in the United States.  When creating houses or feeders, our primary focus is to create designs that will be used by specific wildlife.  Much research and time goes into that.  We’ve literally spent years refining every design.  We’ve found that there are certain features a house/feeder needs to have for wildlife to accept it, use it, and then return to use it again!  Through our personal experiences, thousands of customer correspondences, and years of research … we’ve discovered some valuable insights that have helped us create these wildlife-specific products.   Whenever possible, we always try to include a picture of the product in use so that you know that is has a proven track record. Thanks for considering our items and for visiting our shop.  We hope we can be of service to you today!  Mark & Jane.

PRODUCT  DESCRIPTION:
Ladybugs are very much our garden helpers. They eat many small pests (such as aphids) that just love to infect and kill our plants. Nowadays, it’s even possible to buy ladybugs by the gallon in order to protect your precious garden and plants.
If you’ve ever picked up a ladybug, you might notice a weird “ladybug smell” This pungent odor is released from the ladybug’s legs, and its purpose is to warn predators that ladybugs do not taste good.  They come in a variety of colors, color patterns, and sizes ...... all of which they use to defend themselves.  Ladybugs are truly masters of defense.
However, there is one element that is very dangerous to the ladybug and that’s Mother Nature. Ladybugs are always looking for places to hide and escape from the weather....especially winter. Ladybugs like to huddle together in clumps and many usually find their way into homes where they feel safe.  Some people think they huddle to share each other’s body heat, while others believe it is to give off a stronger smell as a large group. Whichever the reason (probably both), ladybugs can invade our homes in their effort to survive. That is why it is a good idea to provide them with their own house - A LADYBUG HOUSE.   Once they find it, they'll clump together inside and release their "ladybug smell".  This will attract more ladybugs while keeping predators away.  They are truly a marvel of nature!
SPECIAL FEATURES include:  A cedar house with removable roof.  Entrance slits at the base and an inner compartment system that allow ladybugs to cluster.

CUSTOMER  TESTIMONIALS:
“Really neat the way the ladybug house is built.”
“The construction of my LB houses is totally amazing!! I really never expected such great quality & they are MUCH bigger than they look on the site. I have decided where I will put both of them.”
IMPORTANT  CHECKLIST:
a
Inner divider system to encourage LADYBUG clustering.
a
Proper entrance slits for easy enter and keeps out predators.
a
Cedar construction for years of enjoyment.
a
Durable roof for house longevity.  The roof receives the most wear and tear on an outdoor item.  We focus special attention on making durable roofs with all our products.  Take care of the roof and then the house underneath lasts longer ..... just like in the homes we live in.
a
A FREE info card that will walk you through the set-up and use of this item.
a
We use all 3 fasteners with each house ....  Nails, screws, and glue:  Mother Nature is tough on outdoor items.  Nails alone are not enough, glue alone is not enough, and screws alone might be ok.  However, we use all 3 to create a very durable item.
a
Fully assembled & ready to use upon arrival.
PROCESSING
& SHIPPING TIME:
What’s Processing Time?  When a customer orders from us, we are currently working on prior orders. Since we make the items we sell (not a buy/ship seller), our days consist of building product, shipping, & email communications. These activities easily fill up a day and we need processing time to keep everything in balance and operating smoothly.  It's not your order that requires the 5 business days but the orders prior to yours that need their processing.  Also know that we always try to move orders through for quicker arrival times.  However we will not rush through an order for the sake of getting to the next one.  We want each customer to receive the quality item that they're expecting.  Thank you!
ABOUT US:
The Ark Workshop has been in business since 1992 …. Over 20 years.  We focus our efforts on designing and manufacturing "unique designs for the outdoors".   When we first started, we sold products in popular retail chains in the United States.  Our products have been sold in stores such as ACE  HARDWAREs, MEIJERs, HWI  DO-IT CENTERs, popular GROCERY  STOREs, GIFTS SHOPs, & POPULAR  TRADE & CRAFT  SHOWs.   We just want you to know that these products are of store quality and have passed the stringent standards of retailers!  We're offering close-to-wholesale pricing.  All items come with informative product tags and information that will help you fully enjoy your purchase.  If you require more information, just email us and we'll be happy to answer your questions.
The Ark Workshop is a family owned business.  We initially were working in corporate healthcare but wanted a career that would enable us to spend more time as a family.  Taking a leap-of-faith,  we left our secure jobs and tried to find such a profession.   In between interviews, we kept busy woodworking and making unique items for our lawn and garden. Then one day, a passing motorist noticed one of our designs and stopped to see if we would be willing to make one for her. We agreed and, before long, we started getting a few more orders from others. After a while, we began interviewing less and building more.  Before we knew it, we had a couple weeks of orders and we started to consider the possibility of pursuing this as our occupation.  Through prayer and hard work, we started to grow this business and we call it
THE ARK  WORKSHOP
(after Noah and The Ark).  We give all thanks to God for allowing us to pursue this dream.  GIVE US A TRY so we can show you that we work hard to earn your business!
FAVORITE  VERSE:
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not much more valuable than they?  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
