How to Clean Your Nesting Box Safely and Responsibly
All of our nesting and habitat boxes include an access panel, making annual cleaning simple and safe. For bird boxes, we recommend cleaning between October and January. For hedgehog houses, wait until the summer months. Always wear gloves, as nesting material may contain parasites or other unwanted visitors
If you think your box is still in use, wait until it’s empty before opening it. Never disturb any wildlife that has chosen your box as their home.
Please note, bat boxes should never be opened or disturbed. Bats are a protected species in the UK, and only licensed professionals are permitted to monitor or handle them.
