Designed for hard-to-reach areas where collection for recycling isn’t possible, Tubex Nature™ Vole Guards are suitable for protecting young trees from the damage caused by voles/mice and/or the careless use of a strimmer.
Every year thousands of trees are killed by voles and mice, or because of the accidental damage caused by a strimmer.
The Tubex Nature™ Vole Guard can help address this, particularly in overgrown conditions, where voles are found.
The twin-walled, wrap around design needs no support, is quick to install and can be left in situ to biodegrade.
Provided application is done with care and focused around the base of a tree, the Tubex Nature™ Vole Guard can also protect trees from herbicide spray.
The added benefit of the coiled, wrap around design means they expand with the growth of the tree.
Tubex Nature™ is made from bio-based materials derived from sugarcane, corn & starch. It is externally tested against ISO 17556 to show soil biodegradability, and independently tested to show biodegradation on soil at ambient temperatures.
Tubex Nature™ products can be left to biodegrade in situ and will, over time, start to degrade and breakdown into water and CO2 through a microbiological process.
Benefits
Leave in situ to biodegrade
Protects from browsing voles/mice
Easy installation & expands with the tree
Installation (view the installation tab above for a more comprehensive installation guide)
Separate from nest of 4 guards, gently open and wrap around the base of the tree
Push the guard into the soil slightly to create an effective barrier against voles 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.
Vole Guards (as the name suggests) will help protect established planting schemes
from voles. They will not protect against animals that are taller than voles.
Should you wish to protect your planting scheme from other animals then please
select a taller form of protection along with the relevant supporting stake.
