KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR NATURE’S PEST CONTROLLERS THIS BONFIRE NIGHT
With bonfire night approaching, PGM Pest Control Hereford is urging Herefordshire and Worcestershire residents to take care of one of nature’s most loved pest controllers, The Hedgehog.
Hedgehogs are great natural pest control in the garden as they eat slugs, snails and insects saving your much-loved flowers and plants from destruction.
HEDGEHOGS ARE NATURE’S PEST CONTROLLERS
Advice this 5th November is to check and re-check your bonfire stack before lighting it to make sure there are no hedgehogs hiding inside.
As the leaves are falling from the trees in abundance, check piles of leaves for hedgehogs.
How to make a cheap hedgehog temporary home
If you find a hedgehog in your bonfire, make a nice cozy hedgehog home from a cardboard box, some piles of leaves or straw leaving a good size entry gap for the hedgehog to get in.
Put the box in a safe, quiet place such as a shed or garage well away from the festivities and offer the hedgehog some meaty cat or dog food and water.
Once the embers are totally dampened down, release the hedgehog under a hedge, bush or behind a stack of logs near where it was found, with its original nesting materials.
