Wildlife, Bird & Pet Care
Are you caring for garden wildlife and trying to establish a wildlife-friendly garden at your place? A few key things will help garden wildlife to thrive: growing wildlife-friendly plants, supplying a water source and shelter, considering having a wildflower area. Find out more.
Within the Garden Centre, we have everything you need to nurture the wildlife. In our wild bird care department, you will find bird feeders, birdhouses and bird tables, bird care accessories, quality bird seed mixes and treats. We also offer hedgehog food and houses, bug and ladybird houses, and bat boxes.
How to Choose a Nest Box
Create a new home for the birds in your garden.
We encourage households to put up nest boxes in time for breeding birds which will be looking for a safe place to lay their eggs. This is because natural nest sites for birds, such as holes in trees or old buildings are disappearing quickly.
All you need to do is buy a nest box and put it up in your garden. Read our tips below for the perfect place to site a nest box in your garden
Harmless Household Pest & Animal Control
Animal friendly
Our products are harmless to all species of animals as they use innovative ultrasonic technology.
Each unit is fitted with a PIR (Passive Infra-Red) sensor, which is activated by movement and body heat. This triggers a 5 second ultrasonic burst, and the sound frequency emitted is tailored to the species of pest the unit has been designed to deter.
The Cat, Fox, Mice or Pine Marten will not be harmed by this noise, but it will find it unpleasant and ultimately leave the area in order to avoid it.
CATWatch has been tested and approved by the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), meaning that you can buy it with the peace of mind that it’s proven not to affect birds in any way. Meanwhile, PESTController is proven to be an effective alternative to poisons and traps: demonstrating the animal friendly nature of our products.
CATWatch Ultrasonic
CATWatch, the Ultrasonic cat deterrent, is the only cat deterrent, scientifically tested and approved by The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
PESTFree +
PESTFree+ is two great deterrents in one unit; it releases ultrasonic sound bursts, which results in the pests retreating from the protected area, but it also features two LED lights which simulate a predator’s eyes.
PEST Controller
PESTController ultrasonic mouse detterent protects your property from mice, for use indoors or under cover.
CATFree
CATFree is an innovative and humane way to banish cats from your property.
Concept Research produce the highest quality ultrasonic pest deterrents on the market. We are proud to say that our products are the only ultrasonic deterrents designed and manufactured in Great Britain, where we’ve been operating for over 25 years.
We specialise in high tech, ultrasonic pest deterrents that rid your property and gardens of Cats, Foxes, Mice and Pine Martens. Our products are inaudible to humans, and harmless to all species.
Ponds
A pond is a perfect way to attract wildlife to your garden. Frogs, toads, newts, hedgehogs and birds will visit the pond all year round. Isn't that an enjoyable opportunity to watch the wildlife staying at home? Additionally, the pond provides a relaxing spot to sit on a sunny afternoon.
Within the Garden Centre we sell pumps, water features, ornaments, and pond construction materials. We are a premier stockist of Hozelock Cyprio pond pumps and accessories. Besides, you will find a large range of Tetra food and treatments for your pond needs. Pond plants are available from April onwards, depending on the weather conditions.
Pets
At Vanstone Park, we love to pamper our pets and have a range of toys & accessories for cats and dogs. We are a dog-friendly garden centre, so why not bring your dogs along with you so that they can browse for themselves!
