You basically don't have to bother with them, they can't do the birds harm.

Maybe not, but they do eat the feathers, and must stop them resting fully?

[thunderbigbaws]

No, they don't eat anything, they can't, they don't have chewing mouthparts.

Leave your wallet in the house when going in the loft,  ;D ;D

Have been lead to believe it is the lathe that eat things not the moths themselfs,get some moth balls out of the local hardware store that is what i use in the nestboxes.

terriblre for eating feather especially on white flighted birds.

 

I spray with a concentrate which leaves a residue on surfaces and kills flys moths mite etc when they come into contact with it for 4 months, tottaly safe and non toxic.

 

Its made for budgies and canary,s to spray on them and keeps them lice free for 4 months at a time. you cant spray it on pigeons as it has a feather penetrator which last for 4 to 5 months and if your birds are in the rain they get soaked in seconds and cant fly for hours.

 

a bit like dipping them in washing up liquid saturates them, but great for loft surfaces.

you always find dead moths and flys laying about when you clean out.
