Moths

[Cooleflyer]

Hello there,

 

Anyone ever have problems with moths?  I seem to be over ran with them at the moment,  I often saw a few knocking around the place but there are an awful lot lately.  I heard they will eat the birds feathers, can anyone tell me if this is true.  Are they considered a major problem?  Any tips on getting rid of them would be appreciated.

 

Cheers

They actually feed on the red mite ,i leave them to it and never kill them ,they do not bother the birds at all.

there is a product called vanverminex think that's how you spell it,  just a drop on some perches,  and the moths are dead :-/  next day  something like  it 100 bodies lying all over the place its  some stuff   you think you only have a few moths till you see this  stuff,  you want to see this in  action you would think you wiped out the  county of them ;D

even better get smoke bombs for pigeons,the ones where you dont have to take the birds out of the loft.

try spraying jays fluid in the loft  and watch them come out if you got them they do eat the feathers.   bit like mice you dont know you got them till you set the traps .
