Since the flood in 2008, I have worked constantly to elimanate weeds and get my lawn back to looking dk green and lush. Recently I noticed when I water the lawn these moths fly up, and have notice blades of grass turning brown. At first I thought it was my neighbor using a ‘dull mower blade’, ripping the grass. I have many birds here and 2 bird baths. I want to use a bug killer on the lawn (seven) but I’ve heard this will make the birds leave. (robins, bluebirds, woodpeckers, nuthatches and wrens) I don’t want to harm the birds. Any suggestion as to what I can use? TY….. Walker/Indiana

I have found they also do not like soapy water. I’ve been able to dramatically reduce/eliminate them from my corn by drenching my plants with soapy water once I’ve noticed their activity. (3-4 tbsp soap / gal. of water)
