20cm Tubex Nature™ Vole Guard – Biodegradable Protection Against Rodents
Protect young trees from small rodents and mechanical damage with the 20cm Tubex Nature™ Vole Guard. Designed for forestry, farms, and overgrown grasslands, this biodegradable guard shields saplings from voles, mice, and strimmers. Its twin-walled construction with a vertical slit creates a natural overlap with the tree trunk, expanding as the tree grows to prevent strangulation while offering reliable rodent protection. Perfect for hard-to-reach areas where collection isn’t feasible.
