Have midges appeared in the apartment? We get rid of the invasion

You think that you keep the apartment in almost sterile cleanliness, but here you find small insects, a bit like miniature flies. These are the so-called fruit midges. In the apartment, they are together with the fruits purchased in the market. You can hardly notice the microscopic larvae, which, having got into the heat, begin to develop rapidly. Adult individuals scatter throughout the house.

Sometimes unexpected guests fly from their neighbors or spread out a shell in the kitchen. Ignoring the aliens is not worth it. Better immediately think about how to destroy the midges in the apartment.

Before opening the hunting season, it is necessary to determine the source of the "contagion". Take the rule of storing fruits and vegetables in special compartments of the refrigerator. So the products stay fresh for a long time, and larvae will not have a chance to survive.

Keep the trash bin closed, often empty of food residues. Do not be lazy to disinfect it. Or at least wash with hot water, wipe dry with a rag. This rule applies to the feeders of your furry pets.

If the midges in the apartment appear from the sewer, then carefully clean the sink with a plunger. So you remove the remnants of food stuck in the corrugation and on the walls of the pipes. After that, do not interfere with pouring in the drain hole a solution of potassium permanganate.

A weak solution of potassium permanganate is good to shed the soil in pots with indoor plants. By the way, they often become real colonies of annoying trifles.

The fight against gnats in the apartment includes the conduct of active "combat" actions. For example, you can make effective home traps. Take a glass (you can be plastic) for these purposes, put a piece of juicy fruit on the bottom, as a tempting yummy. Ideal baits - an apple slice or a slice of overdone banana. Then tighten the top of the glass with food film. In the latter, you need to make a few small holes. Insects will penetrate through them. But I can not get to them outside.

The second variant of the trap assumes the use of a thick paper folded in the form of a funnel instead of a film. Such a bag is placed in a jar with a bait at the bottom with a narrow end down. A wide part of the funnel should fit snugly against the neck of the container. The principle of the trap is the same. Bulls penetrate the jar through the narrow hole of the paper funnel. The apartment is slowly reducing the population of flying bugs, which perish in a trap.

To the mechanical methods of destruction carry the use of special adhesive tapes. True, they do not look very aesthetic. Therefore, some homeowners are more likely to use a vacuum cleaner. Collected in this way flying individuals should be immediately placed in a dense bag and discarded.

It is proved that the smell of camphor is harmful to fruit midge. The apartment can be fumigated. Buy a camphor in the pharmacy, warm up the pan on the stove and drop the acquired substance onto it. Then walk around the room with the frying pan. Vapors are absolutely harmless to the human body, but small pests will perish.
