Thanks Nick, the traps here are the same....they attract the male moths and kill them so the moths can't reproduce. The problem I have with them is that they are not very effective for me, or I have way too many female moths. :lol:

I was at Lowe's to buy some Diatomateous Earth, but put it back on the shelf after reading the back. "Warning - keep away from domesticated animals."

Is this okay? It was a 4lb bag made by "Safer Brand". Am I being paranoid?
If you get "food grade" Diatomateous Earth that will be fine around finches. I use it in the bottom of the nestboxes.
