Rainbow Bio Vole Guards are made from biodegradable materials and are suitable for protecting young trees from damage caused around the base of stems by voles/mice and/or the careless use of a strimmer.
Every year thousands of trees are killed by damage caused by voles and mice, or because of the accidental damage caused by a strimmer.
The Bio Vole Guard can help mitigate this, particularly in overgrown conditions, where voles are found.
The added benefit of the coiled, wrap around design means they expand with the growth of the tree.
Made solely from bio-degradable polymers and additives, they are certified as being 100% bio-based and compostable.
The Bio Vole Guard helps protect young hedging and tree plants without contaminating the soil or leaving toxic residues behind when degraded.
Benefits
Non-toxic, bio-based materials,meaning no toxic residues at end of life
Protects from browsing voles/mice
Easy installation & expands with the tree
Installation
Separate from nest of 3 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. See installation tab for more information
Note – no support is required if installed correctly, however should you wish to provide your young tree plant & Bio Vole Guard with extra support then we recommend using a cane
Gently open and wrap around the base of young tree, allowing the coil to wrap back over on itself.
Push guard 1cm to 2cm into the soil to create a barrier for vole and mice, and to help hold the guard in place.
At the end of its useful life (typically 3+ years) either leave in situ to biodegrade over time or remove the Bio Vole Guard for industrial composting to speed the process up.
For younger plants that may require support (with cane)
Having planted your plant, gently push a cane into the ground next to it, about 2cm away from base of stem.
Remove guard from its nest of 3 guards.
Open the guard and wrap around both the cane and the plant, allowing the coil to wrap back over itself.
Push guard 1cm to 2cm into the soil to create a barrier for voles and mice, and to help hold the guard in place.
At the end of its useful life (typically 3+ years) either leave in situ to biodegrade over time or remove the Bio Vole Guard for industrial composting to speed the process up.
Plan for removal and recycling of shelters at end of life once the tree is established. More information on recycling is available here.
