Where do the midges come from?
Storing in a supermarket or even in a garage, any fruit already contains the larvae of Simuliidae, laid by the female in favorable conditions for her. Therefore, you bring the products to the house already with small gnats. Room temperature is just suitable for their fruitful development. So, to avoid such a problem, hide vegetables and fruits immediately in the refrigerator.
Do not panic if the midges appeared "out of nowhere". You always keep clean, where do they come from? They can fly from neighbors, settle in a drainpipe on a piece of food, a trash can and the like.
How can you get rid of Simuli quickly and effectively ?
First of all, look where they fly from, and remove this source. Your inspection should include not only the kitchen, but all the rooms where you eat. When the source is found - either eliminate it, or treat it chemically. But the first option is better.
If the louse flies out of the sink, take the plunger, so that all rests of food are better to wash off and turn on the hot water, so the insects will wipe. But if the food is left, they can reappear, so it is better to conduct such an operation for prophylaxis more often.
If the midges live in the kitchen, lure them. Take an unnecessary empty jar, and put the spoiled fruit there, close the jar with a food film, in which make a few holes. So the midge will fly to the bait, but the secret is that they can get into the bank, but not choose back. Throw these Simuli into the canal and wash it off. Continue to lure in such a simple way insects, until they all are moved.
The following method is also quite effective. For this you need a vacuum cleaner. Just find them and "vacuum clean". Do not forget to shake the bag right away.
If the midges found their stash in a pot of flowers, then water all your flowers with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. If the flowers are whimsical in terms of fertilizers and watering, then you can do it differently: buy a special solution against mosquitoes and wipe the pots and the surface near them.
After you have got rid of them locally, take care also of that they did not appear at once next day. Keep an eye on the house for the next few days. In time, take out the garbage, preferably more often, then it is desirable to rinse out the trash can with hot water and wipe it dry. If you have a pet, then watch for the cleanliness in their feeders. Wash dishes immediately after eating and do not leave wet rags. Do not leave food open, if they can not be placed in the refrigerator, cover them tightly with food film. Wash all the corners in the kitchen. So the midge will have nowhere to settle, and you will not see them again.
But what can you do if you find midges on the balcony? To moths do not fly from the street, put a mosquito net, if you have it, check its integrity. If this did not reduce the number of insects, then buy dichlorvos and treat them to the whole balcony. Be careful, as this is a very poisonous remedy.
Can I get rid of midges and with the help of folk remedies?
Very effective smoking. We will need camphor. You need to pour it on the heated frying pan. And when steam begins to go, then walk around with the frying pan throughout the apartment. For insects, this smell is fatal, while for humans it is absolutely harmless.
If you do everything as mentioned above, you will keep your apartment clean and cozy.
