20cm Bio Spiral Vole Hedge Tree Guard

The 20cm Bio Spiral Vole Hedge Tree Guard is an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution for protecting young trees, hedges, and saplings from damage caused by mice and voles. Designed for farmers, landowners, forestry professionals, and commercial planting schemes, this lightweight and flexible spiral guard provides a strong physical barrier while allowing trees to grow naturally.

Constructed from fully biodegradable materials, the Bio Spiral Vole Guard offers an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional plastic guards. Its compact spiral design expands with the tree, preventing restriction while safeguarding newly planted whips, small trees, and hedgerows from pest damage.

The guard’s material has been independently tested and certified as fully compostable with DIN CERTO and ASTM D6400 standards. Initial breakdown occurs through UV exposure, moisture, and photo degradation over approximately 4–5 years, after which the guard biodegrades into carbon dioxide, water, and humus, enriching the soil without leaving harmful residues.

Ideal for hedgerow establishment, woodland creation, and commercial or grant-funded planting projects, the 20cm Bio Spiral Vole Hedge Tree Guard combines effective small mammal protection with sustainability for modern planting schemes.
