Shelter is often overlooked. Many UK bee species are solitary rather than hive-dwelling, and a patch of bare, undisturbed soil in a sunny spot can serve as nesting ground for mining bees, while hollow stems and drilled wood blocks suit species that nest above ground. Choosing biological pest control over chemical sprays around flowering borders also helps protect the insects visiting them.

Insects overwinter too, tucked into log piles, leaf litter and insect houses left undisturbed until spring. Gardeners preparing shelter ahead of the colder months often look at buy hedgehog houses online options early, so everything is in place before the weather turns.

For gardeners wanting an alternative to chemical sprays, a soil-applied option is worth considering as a first step, and a good starting point is a range of slug nematodes for gardens suited to the pest in question.

Feeding is straightforward but worth getting right. Meaty cat or dog food, or a specialist hedgehog food, is a better choice than bread and milk, which can cause digestive upset. A shallow dish of fresh water left out overnight is just as useful as food, particularly during dry spells in summer.

Gardeners building out their feeding station for the first time typically start with a good spread of bird feeders to cover the different food types birds look for.

Access is usually the first barrier. Solid fencing and walled boundaries cut a garden off from the wider network a hedgehog relies on. A gap roughly the size of a CD case cut at the base of a fence panel, sometimes called a hedgehog highway, lets them pass between neighbouring gardens without needing to cross open roads or driveways.
