Suddenly there are more flying objects of unknown origin in the house?
Can't go away, can't fight,
Not flies, not mosquitoes,
What are they that are not famous?
There are a lot of flying bugs, and as long as they don't appear in our homes, basically we don't care much. Even if one or two of them occasionally "wander" to the house, there is not much problem in eliminating them in time.
However, if you have the "comfort nest" (breeding ground) of these flying insects in your home, there will be a large number of flying insects appearing in all corners, or do you still hold a tissue and press them to death as much as possible?
Fly
Who they are
The so-called know thyself and know thyself, never lose a battle. Before you can destroy the flying insect, you may need to know about it. In addition to the flies and mosquitoes that we can all recognize by hearing the sound, the common small flying insects in the home can be roughly divided into several major gangs.
One is the "toilet pie", which is a common moth in the bathroom.
The second is the "fruit pie", which often breeds fruit flies in fruits.
The third is the "flower and grass pie", which appears around the flowerpot and has a variety of types.
The fourth is the "carnivorous pie", such as the carnivorous flea fly.
Fifth, the "grain faction", grain has made them.
The sixth is the "clothing pie", the clothing moth lying on the clothes.
The seventh is the "wood pie", and the newly purchased wooden furniture occasionally carries moth pests.
Eighth is the "ant pie", when it comes to the breeding season, the wedding flying ants may appear in your home...
Having said all this, it is easiest to breed at home, flying around to disturb your dreams and drive you crazy, nine times out of ten are moths and fruit flies.
Moths
Gutter residents
In the cool, damp restroom, moths are often seen perched on the walls. The larvae of moths are mostly carriivative or fecal-eating, mainly breeding in shallow water areas containing putrefactive organic matter. Because of this, the moth has a very symbolic name - the gutter fly.
The moth crater family is huge, with more than 1,000 species worldwide. The most common are the white-spotted moth and the star-spotted moth. If you paint a portrait of a moth, it should look very much like a small moth, with a diamond-like appearance similar to geometric shapes, and the insect body with wings about 3 mm. They are not very capable of flying, often crawling on the wall, each flight is generally no more than 1 meter, and the rapid stop, as if jumping on the wall.
Indoors, the bathroom washstand, the water floor, the kitchen sink, the damp rag, the mop can "raise" a large number of moths. When you find a moth in your home, you can kill it with a fly shot, an electric mosquito shot, or a violent operation that sprays the insecticide directly.
However, these methods can only eliminate the adults of moths. As long as the breeding land exists, the adult insects of the moths will continue to fly out, and no matter how much they toss and turn, they will not be able to kill them all.

Kill insects with a fierce hand
Seeing this, do you already feel that you can't be loved? Do you want to spend your life with the gutter fly?
No way! The big trick to kill insects is coming!
1. Do a good job of environmental hygiene, which is the most fundamental way to eliminate moths. Every 1 to 2 weeks, you use a brush to brush the sewer openings and tile wall gaps in the kitchen, bathroom, and bathing room, and brush away the eggs or pupae of the moths hidden in these places. Water is the source of life, and the same is true for moths. If there is a container with water in the home, it is also necessary to pour out the accumulated water, and the accumulated water on the floor and sink should also be removed in time.
2. Find the source of the breed and carry out rapid insecticidal treatment. The easiest way to find out where the moths in the house are "raised" is to stick adhesive tape to the drainage holes. If the moth is caught on the viscose tape, it can be determined that this is the breeding source. The breeding source can be killed with insecticides using insecticides or by pouring hot, piping hot water to destroy the larvae and eggs.
3. It is important to install insect control facilities. All sewers in the bathroom should be equipped with insect-proof floor drains, which are not only anti-odor, but also moth-resistant. This is the greenest and most cost-effective way to do it. The washbasin is directly connected to the sewer pipe, and it is best to use an insect-proof water seal.
fruit fly
Don't throw the pot of fruit
Fruit flies do not transmit disease and do not parasitize the human body, but when there is rotten fruit indoors, it will be produced in large quantities. Fruit flies are highly fertile, and if left untreated, legions of fruit flies that quickly appear will soon surround you.
Fruit flies lay their eggs on rotten fruit or other fermented organic matter. The primary food source of Fruit flies is the microorganisms that make the fruit decay, such as yeast, followed by sugary fruits. Therefore, don't say that fruit flies cannot appear without fruit in your home. To kill fruit flies, you need to do the following three things:
1. Say it again: do a good job of environmental hygiene. The presence of fruit flies in the home indicates a sanitation problem. Please remove all kinds of organic matter and eliminate the breeding source. Avoid storing fruit at room temperature, eat it as soon as you buy it, or put it in the refrigerator. Kitchen waste Nissan Nissin, don't forget to clean the garbage can.
2. Fruit flies can be eliminated with the help of sticky fly paper. The means are simple and very effective. Sticky fly paper is best hung in a place in the home that does not get in the way.
3. Fruit fly traps can also easily kill flies. If you want to be lazy, you can buy one directly online; if you want to be affordable, you can make your own one. Hanging a fly extinguishing lamp at home is also very worry-free.
