What Powders Do You Use In Your Nest Boxes?

[krishanram]

Hello

We have been using Johnsons Kil-Pest Insect Powder for many years however the local pet shop we used to purchase from has now closed down.

Just wondering what you guys use in your nest boxes and can you provide a link so I can purchase one, or the same one that I use?

Over to you guys

I use this one but only under the concave where birds cannot reach.

blimey that stuff will pack a punch.

i have never used it personally but diatomaceous earth is said to be non toxic to budgies and kills insects stone dead (pun intended lol) it can even be used internally for worming. maybe even garlic powder or Basil leaves, the smell is said to discourage insects. But im not sure if it's only the fresh leaves.
