A great solution for protection from voles that is fully biodegradable, ensuring a positive environmental legacy.
Every year thousands of trees are killed by vole and mice. NexGen vole guards can help you replace the use of plastic vole guards with a viable, environmentally friendly alternative, that includes a 5 year warranty. (T&C apply). An industry first, find out more about the Warranty here.
The man behind the innovation is Gary Hurlstone, whose father Graham invented the Tubex Tree Shelter in the mid 1980’s. Gary took his father’s 35 year old design and set out to deliver a range of protection that performs at least as well, whilst being environmentally friendly and cost effective.
The NexGen vole guards are made from a special mix of over 60% British wool (certified by British Wool), a biodegradable polyol (made from ethically sourced cashew nutshell liquid and castor oil), and an innovative biodegradable custom polymer.
At its heart is a simple concept that has taken four years of extensive research and development, working with foresters, landowners and industry experts, to deliver the next generation in vole guards.
Scientifically proven as fully biodegradable, the design means they are easily installed and can be left in situ, especially useful in overgrown areas where voles are found.
Benefits:
- Protects from voles & mice
- Easy installation - no support needed
- Fully biodegradable - no need for collection and recycling.
Installation
Separate from nest of 2 guards, gently insert over the plant. Push the guard into the soil slightly to create an effective barrier against vole and mice damage.
Note – no support is required if installed correctly, however should you wish to provide your young tree plant & vole guard with extra support then we recommend using a cane.
See the installation tab for more information.
