Bugs in the rump - a terrible dream of any mistress

Insects in the croup - this is truly a disaster for many housewives. And, despite the experience, not everyone knows how to cope with such a problem. Beetles in the groats can be planted in any kitchen. They not only spoil a lot of products, but their very presence does not make the mood better. In addition, the eggs that they leave are highly toxic. That's why you need to meet them fully armed.

Bugs in the croup are most often represented by Suryan mushoe. It has a length of about 3 millimeters, a dark brown color. Learned? Such a pest can be set up not only in the factory or in the store, but also in your apartment. This bug takes root where, of course, flour is stored, as well as various cereals (semolina, oats, pearl), rice and other food products. Dried berries, biscuits, biscuits - all these are real delicacies for the mushoe of Surinamese.

Unfortunately, the females of these beetles are very prolific. In a warm room they can give up to three generations a year. So also the life span of an adult beetle is rather large - three years.

No chemical treatment will help you. Such beetles in the croup are afraid of sunlight, which, as a rule, is not enough in our cabinets and barns. They are not afraid of temperature fluctuations: neither frost nor excessive heat will kill them. Is that the temperature above 50 degrees is capable of ruining them.

So, if the bugs in the croup were discovered by you in your own kitchen, but the strategic stock of products you want to keep, you need to make a complete audit. The products will need to be heated in the oven. Cereals, for example, should be pre-soaked, washed with water. As a result, the bugs will surface, they must be removed and only then ignite the product in the oven. With macaroni, you can do the same. Flour should be sifted through a fine hair sieve, and at least two times.

There is another secret, used earlier in numerous warehouses of strategic reserves, where cereals were stored for decades. They just laid the steel nails. Wipe nails with a dry rag and place on the bottom of the container for cereals. But this applies more to preventive measures. And if small pests have already "captured" your kitchen, you need to cleanse of the stains that they leave, all the cabinets and shelves, and also the containers. Then they will need to place laurel leaves. The clove of garlic is also capable of producing an effect. This product mukoedy not tolerate the spirit. Cutting denticles is not necessary.

If you think that the Surinamese swine is the only scourge that threatens your products, you are deeply mistaken. Mole in the rump is also capable of delivering many problems. Its larvae will eat your food, polluting them. Therefore, the lime kitchen (food) mole is simply necessary.

You must discard all contaminated products. The cabinets should be rinsed using a soapy solution, and all crevices and grooves should be smoothed with a brush previously moistened with ordinary vinegar. Then you should wash them with clean water and wipe dry. In a container where you have flour stored, put a couple of cloves of garlic. Moth can also scare off pepper, oregano, bay leaf and other spices. On sale there are special sticky strips that the housewives glue from the inside to the doors of the cabinets. The mole attracts the scent coming from them, and it just sticks to them. As a preventive tool can act geranium, growing in a pot on the windowsill.

And the main advice for those who want to not fight this problem, but to prevent its occurrence. Often bugs people bring with them from stores - in purchased products. You should always carefully inspect the packs of cereals or flour for the tightness of the package. Do not buy such products for weight.
