The previous science popularization introduced in detail the small devil fruit flies that like to fly around at home and like to drill kettles; and also introduced the common nuisance pest caterpillar in the bathroom. In this issue of science popularization, I will tell you in detail about the nameless flying insect flea fly in the toilet.
Fleas are also known as humpback flies and coffin flies. Adults cluster around decaying plants. Larvae scavenger, parasitize or symbiosis in ant and termite nests. Wings degenerate or absent in some species. It is the nemesis of bullet ants. When bullet ants wield large pliers to swagger through the market, they will face the threat of death directly whenever they encounter humpback flies, and even if they are highly poisonous, they are helpless: because tiny humpback flies have an antidote specifically against bullet ants, and the bullet ants' pliers are too large and too heavy to pose any threat to their opponents. The flies achieved their goal: they laid their eggs on the behemoth. Bullet ants are 100 times larger than they are.
Household pest control should mainly start from environmental governance, if necessary, the use of some physical and chemical control methods, Daqiang for everyone to sort out the specific five tricks:
Frequent cleaning: Common grain pests such as rice worms and cockroaches are mainly hidden in food containers such as rice tanks, noodle bags, and cabinets. Clean up dead corners such as kitchens and bathrooms regularly; seal flour, sugar, and other ingredients; don't spend the night with food; and dump garbage in time. Ants, mites and other storage pests often appear in closed environments such as wardrobes and cabinets, and it is necessary to pay attention to regular turning, drying more, and shaking. The dead corner of the water storage in the bathroom should be kept dry, and the water in pots, vases, floor drains, etc. should be cleaned up in time. When cleaning a sofa, mattress or carpet, a large number of hidden bacteria, dust mites, and dander will also float in the air. At this time, it is best to wear a mask to ensure that the window is open for ventilation.
Hot water boiling: Items in direct contact with people, such as rags, tableware, kitchen utensils, etc., can be steamed at high temperature to play a role in disinfection and sterilization and removal of insect eggs. Even some dishes and chopsticks that are not used frequently should be cleaned frequently to avoid mutual contamination. It is recommended to wash frequently touched household items such as clothes, sofa covers, carpets, and towels that have not been worn for a long time, and it is recommended to wash them at least once a month.
Cryogenic freezing: In long-term ultra-low temperature environments, most bugs are difficult to survive. In the case of cockroaches, for example, they die at -8°C. In the cold and dry winter, mattresses, sheets, quilts, clothes, etc. can be taken outdoors to dry regularly, and insect eggs can be killed by low temperature freezing.
With the help of insecticide tools: When small insects appear, they can be killed with a variety of tools. Mosquito coils, insecticides, electric mosquito beats, sticky insect plates, etc. have good results. However, it should be noted that the use of electric mosquitoes should be kept away from flammable items such as pesticides, flower lotion, hair spray, nail wash water and so on.
Appropriate medication: Due to the lack of windows in winter, it is not recommended to use a large amount of medication when deworming. However, if there are still insects after the above treatment, appropriate medication can be used. When pest control in winter, ventilation should be done well. With the principle of "small amount, more points, and wide coverage", when spraying insecticide preparations, try to spray the agent on the wall, gap and corner, do not spray in the air, reduce the harm to the human body.
