ALEFFECT is a real helper for your garden that will help protect plants from pests without using chemicals. Hedgehogs are natural predators: they hunt mice, snakes, slugs, snails, worms, and insects, including caterpillars and beetles. Thanks to their nocturnal activity, one hedgehog can eat dozens of harmful organisms in a single night, significantly reducing their numbers and thereby protecting the harvest from damage.
Unlike the common misconception, hedgehogs do not feed on fruits or milk, and do not damage plants. Their spiny coat makes them unsuitable for attacking garden crops, however they effectively eliminate rodents and snakes that can cause serious damage. Keen hearing and sense of smell allow the hedgehog to catch even fast mice, and its presence in the garden creates natural protection from pests.
Installing a hedgehog on the plot is a simple solution: place a small burrow or shelter where it can feel safe. Hedgehogs easily adapt to living near people and do not require special care. Their presence contributes to maintaining balance in the garden ecosystem, reducing the need to use insecticides, herbicides, and rodenticides.
