"Some time ago, I cleaned up the kitchen utensils, and found that there were a lot of white spots on it that I thought were salt particles, and I didn't look too carefully and directly wiped it off with a rag." Yesterday, Ms. Wu, a citizen, called the morning newspaper hotline 82888000 to reflect that after a few days she found that the white "particles" in the cabinet were obviously a lot more, and if she carefully observed, these "particles" were still squirming, and then she noticed that the white "particles" turned out to be bugs.
In this regard, Mr. Sui, who is in charge of urban sanitation pests at the Qingdao Termite Control Research Institute, said that these white "particles" are actually mealybugs. "Mites look like white insects, slow to move, easy to gather as pests, is a kind of micro pest that is not easy to see with the naked eye, the main ones that appear in the family are dust mites, powder mites, leather mites, chigger mites and other major categories, mites mainly live in the dark corners of the room, carpets, mattresses, pillows, sofas, air conditioners, cool mats and other places with high humidity." Mr. Sui introduced
Therefore, he reminded the public that after finding a large number of mites, they should first find the source of the insect, mainly where the mites gather and breed, such as grain bags, food that has not been used for a long time, etc., to find the source of the insect to be dealt with in time, you can use the method of sun exposure, freezing or direct throwing away, and at the same time, the home should be dehumidified to reduce the relative humidity. If the source of the insect is not easy to find and there are a large number of mites in the home, it can be sprayed with drugs such as pyridoxine of the machine phosphorus.
