SOME OTHER GOOD FIES

In the meantime, dear reader, you have already caught your first fish on wet “March” and dry “golden” and are eager for new exploits. Most beginners think they can make them with as many flies as possible. Well, in no way do I want to convert you to my faith on this basis. I have only recommended two flies for you to start with, for the main reason to get you, as a beginner, to fish these thousand times over, and to make sure you don't fall for those countless, tempting flies yourself.

For the first person to fall on the hook of seductively sparkling flies is always the fisherman himself. And even a fly fisher who has gone through fire and water with difficulty resists the magical effect that this multi-colored tinsel produces on him. Only experience allows you to resist temptation to some extent and helps save money. The beginner nevertheless believes that the fluids emanating from the iridescent flies should also spread to the fish, in which he is severely mistaken.

Any experienced fly fisher knows the beauty of experimenting with a box full of variegated flies. For some hobbyists, fly fishing would be a lot poorer if they had to give it up. And finally, everyone must decide for himself what kind of flies and how many of them he will go to the pond. At the crossroads of fishing roads, one has to take a look at the foreseeable past before one may choose another direction for oneself. He will weigh his successes and failures in his mind and form his own opinion, his personal point of view, based on the result - this is called experience.

Experience - tested, tried many times - this is the best thing that can be advised to a beginner. Therefore, I would now like to introduce you to several proven flies, the origins of which in almost all cases are in England. That is why they usually have English designations. If you ever decide to restock your stock, this concise dictionary will help you find what you want in specialty stores. And remember that almost all of these specimens are commercially available as both wet and dry flies.

In general, flies for traditional fly fishing are divided into flies for grayling and flies for trout, the former, as a rule, differing in smaller hooks (no. 3.5 and smaller). This means that they are also suitable for catching all small non-predatory fish (dace, rudd and bleak). Among these types of flies with small hooks, there are several that have proved to be especially catchy when catching capricious grayling, and for each reservoir there is a certain favorite, which varies depending on on the time of year and weather conditions. The same applies to hook size. I cannot dwell on any specific flies here, I will name only a few standard grayling flies: Witch - “sorceress”; Greenwells Glory- "Greenwell"; blue dun - "blue mayfly"; red ant - "red ant"; Black Ant - "black ant"; Zulu Fly - "Zulu"; red palmer - “red caterpillar”; Jungle Cock Sedge - "caddis"; Brown Sedge - “brown caddis”; Tricolore - "tricolor".

The following ten models can be named as preferred trout flies by fish: Red Quill - “red keel”; Iron Blue Dun - “blue-steel mayfly”; Hares Ear - “hare ear”; Hardy's Favorite - “favorite”; Hoflands's Fancy - “Hoflandian fantasy”; Coachman - “coachman”; Stone Fly - “springweed”; White Mothe-“white moth”; Ronal Coachman - “royal coachman”; Olive Dun - "Olive mayfly" ..

Almost all of these flies can also be purchased as nymphs. Fishing with a nymph is considered a subtle and complex way of wet fly fishing. The nymph, like her sister, the wet fly, imitates an insect larva. It differs from the wet fly in shortened tail appendages, more sparse feathers, and a small hump on its back, the rudiment of future wings of an adult insect. In fact, the nymph is of interest only in salmon ponds. The novice angler, who is in the spirit of exploration and wants to try out the nymph on peaceful fish, can use it in the same way as he has practiced with a wet fly so far.

I already mentioned the palmer a couple of times in the previous chapter. It comes in black, red-brown and white. The palmer must not be missing from any set of flies. It can be fished both dry and wet. Its close relative is the similarly colored and especially densely knitted “bamfliege”, which, like a well-swimming dry fly, is used primarily in the evening for catching chub, asp and large salmon.

Several special flies - “Alexandra”, “grasshopper” and fly “beetle”. “Alexandra” is a clean wet fly, which is best caught by pulling. It seems to represent a fry and is intended for catching chub and salmon. It is made in different sizes, and also performed in the form of a nymph. A floating “grasshopper” with a cork head is a surprise fly in the streams flowing through the meadows, where on a summer day everything is teeming with these steeds, and the fish are accustomed to the fact that such an unsuccessfully jumping animal swims in front of their noses. The same can be said about the “beetle” fly, which we will see on rice. 44 ; at the same time, plastic imitations with an average weight of 5 g for normal fly fishing are too heavy when casting.

When the conversation about the mayfly comes up among the fly-fishers, the connoisseur clicks his tongue. When the May mayfly flies out, it is time for the trout hunter; it starts in the last week of May and lasts until the first days of June.

Depending on the weather, terrain and other circumstances, the mass departure of these large insects can be shifted by one to two weeks. Only during the departure period does it make sense to catch on a voluminous dry fly, since insects take off from the surface of the water to their mating dance and shortly after it their corpses are carried away by the current. The mayfly changes face twice in a few hours of existence: first, the nymph turns into a subimago, which, after molting, becomes an adult capable of mating insects.

The mayfly is the only insect that has wings in two stages of development. During the evening courtship dance, male mayflies attract females and seduce them. Fertilized females return to the water to lay eggs, then, exhausted and dying, sink to the surface of the water and go to treat the fish. Since during the mass flight these insects appear in huge numbers,sometimes the entire surface of the trout river is covered with their corpses. And yet it is not recommended to offer the fish the first imitation of the May mayfly that comes across. Indeed, during its short stay in this world, the insect changes color several times. After the subimago hatches from the chrysalis, its wings are yellowish green, and then they acquire a grayish green sheen. In an adult insect, the wings become grayish-blue and darken every hour. And the creatures carried away by the current, having fulfilled their duty and already doomed, are completely gray. However, only females die on the water, while males in most cases end their lives on land.

The dear reader, during this short lecture on entomology, may have already noticed that when fishing for May mayflies, one cannot get by with just one color, since trout are extremely demanding in everything that concerns mayflies. Therefore, if you are lucky enough to be at the reservoir at such a blissful hour, carefully sort out the colors of the flies, which are picked up by the fish. Late in the evening, trout rise not only for dying or already dead and gray-colored insects; winged yellow-green subimagos, drying their feathers, also become victims of the noble robber. Females with grayish-blue wings, landing on the water to lay eggs, are subjected to similar reprisals.

Therefore, take care of the models of flies painted in the appropriate colors in advance. Yellow, green, brown and gray colors are considered the most catchy, primarily for the colors of feathers and wings. May mayfly is knitted on a hook No. 4-6.

To make it easier to answer the question: “Which fly should I tie to a leash?” I’m giving tables that list the most commonly used flies by month.

Every housewife faced the appearance of flies in the kitchen. Tiny creatures suddenly appear in a whole cloud: yesterday there was just no one, and today annoying neighbors are leading a cheerful round dance. And it seems that they do not bring much harm, but still their presence does not please anyone. Today we will talk about how to get rid of small flies in the kitchen. Of course, first of all, you need to identify the cause of their appearance, and then determine the methods of struggle.

Quite often, tiny creatures disturb residents of apartments and private houses in autumn and spring. And sometimes there are so many of them that you involuntarily grab your head. Let's hasten to immediately reassure: Drosophila, which is also called the fruit or fruit midge, is a completely harmless species of insects. These creatures do not bite or carry infection, and are also very gentle. Therefore, having learned how to get rid of small flies in the kitchen, you can easily do it.

There is also bad news. Drosophila reproduces very quickly. Therefore, if you do not take action in time, then you will have hundreds of small flies in your kitchen, which are very annoying with their presence.

Where to attack

Before looking for a way to get rid of small flies in the kitchen, let's figure out where they come from. Maybe the problem is easier to prevent than to solve later. In fact, it is difficult to prevent the appearance of these tiny creatures. There are three options in total:

• Drosophila can fly in from the street. A mosquito net won't stop them. Some can attract them. Most often, these are vegetables or fruits. Therefore, before learning how to get rid of small flies in the kitchen, you need to carefully check if anything has fallen on the table.
• Midge eggs can "come" to your home along with fresh vegetables and fruits bought at the market.
• They can start in a flower pot standing on the windowsill.

Floral or fruity

One more moment. Speaking about how to get rid of small flies in the kitchen, we must not forget that they can be different. If insects hover around flower pots, they can be fruits or flower sciarids. Both are quite small, but they can be quite easily distinguished. Flower midges look like black mosquitoes. They curl in flocks and do not fly far from the pots. Drosophila are not very interested in the ground, so they rarely stay near the pot in which they hatched for a long time. Today, the focus of our attention is these little flies in the kitchen. How to get rid of uninvited guests? Let's look for ways together.

Development with metamorphoses

We are dealing with insects, which means that we must take into account the full development cycle. Flying individuals are only half the trouble. There are also eggs and voracious larvae. Therefore, the fight against flying insects should be comprehensive, excluding the birth of a new generation. If a flower pot was chosen as a breeding site, you will have to change the ground to get rid of the laid eggs.

Task #1

"Search and destroy" - that's how it can be formulated. Since you can get rid of a fruit fly in an apartment only by completely stopping its life cycle, you need to look for where it lays its eggs. Otherwise, you will only destroy flying individuals, which will be replaced by others. They are known to like to lay their eggs in ripe, decaying fruits and vegetables. But not only. Any place where there is food and moisture can attract insects.

note

• If you keep houseplant compost at home, then you need to take a closer look: it is usually an excellent breeding ground for these insects. Many flower growers use this method of preparing fertilizer. In a small box, grass growing in pots, tea leaves, eggshells and much more are collected.
• Garbage container. Even if you regularly throw away the bag, there may still be a breeding ground for flies on the walls.
• Beer and wine, apple cider vinegar - these liquids attract insects like a magnet. If an open bottle is lying around somewhere, they will definitely appear.
• Almost any food can be a source of reproduction. Mushrooms, cereals, sour-milk products, cheeses, if they were stored improperly, can easily become the object of attention of fruit flies.
• Clogged wet sponges and rags, mops - all this is a source of moisture important for midges.
• If the source has never been found, the insects may have arrived from the street. Or a little nutrient liquid (jam or syrup) was spilled into an inaccessible place behind the countertop.

This is the first answer to the question of how to get rid of flies in the kitchen. How to destroy the nest? Very simple: we collect it in a bag and take it away from home.

Putting things in order

After the nest has been found, adult insects must be taken care of. The most important thing now is to deprive fruit flies of a place for reproduction and food. In this case, they will die even without your help. Therefore, we hide all the products that may be of interest to them. Close jam, honey, vegetables and fruits carefully. It is best to put all this in the refrigerator to deprive fruit flies of the chance of survival.

Ideal cleanliness in the kitchen is in some cases a sufficient measure so that you no longer have to think about how to get rid of small midges in an apartment or house. Within ten days in the warm season, all individuals, including existing clutches, may die. In winter, the process can take several months, as the development of the larvae will be delayed.

bait traps

For a long time, no one wants to share the territory with flies, which is why the question of how to quickly get rid of small flies in the kitchen is raised. The bait trap is a great way that works 100%. The principle is very simple: insects are lured into the container with fragrant bait, but they can no longer get out. Leave such a trap in the kitchen in the evening, and in the morning you will find a large number of living and dead insects in it.

How to make it yourself

There is nothing easier. You will need an ordinary glass jar and a sheet of paper. From it you need to twist the cone and fix the tip with tape. Now place the funnel in the jar, after putting something attractive to insects on the bottom. It can be a ripe fruit, a few tablespoons of jam or apple cider vinegar.

Connoisseurs say that an orange cone works best. Despite the fact that the bait is the same, many more insects always fly into a jar of colored paper. This fact can be explained by the similarity of the color scheme with an orange. Citruses are very unloved by the main enemies of these insects - riders. The proximity of such a fruit suggests relative safety.

How to use traps

Today our goal is to consider the most effective ways. How to get rid of flies in the kitchen? There is nothing easier: set traps in high-risk areas. This is a shell and window sill with flowers. After a couple of hours, without removing the funnel, pour an aqueous solution into the jar to drown the insects. After that, it can be “charged” with bait again and put in the room.

How to get rid of flying insects

Drosophila flies are not very fast. Therefore, hunting for them is not particularly difficult. To do this, fill the spray bottle with ethyl alcohol and spray directly on the flying flies. They instantly drop dead. Alcohol is a completely safe insecticide. In addition, it will not cause harm if it gets on food (of course, it is better to cover bakery products).

Using a fumigator

If, after leaving for a few days, you forgot a few bananas on the table, then when you return, you risk seeing a whole swarm of these little creatures in the kitchen. Since no one wants to spend time catching insects, you can turn on the mosquito fumigator and leave the apartment for several hours. Upon your return, ventilate the rooms and sweep the flies off the floor. Aerosols are no less effective. They can be sprayed in midge habitats and get rid of it easily. Sticky tape helps a lot too. You can buy ordinary ones, from flies, and smear with wine.

Midges in the drain

Kitchen drains are often clogged with food debris. In this case, the water begins to drain slowly, leaving unflooded areas, which become the spawning grounds for flies. If you see that insects are getting out of the drain hole every now and then, then you must definitely solve this problem. Call a plumber first and clean out the system. After that, pour a bucket of boiling water into it with soap dissolved in it. The final chord will be the use of alcohol. It will take no more than 100 ml. Just pour it down the drain and keep the water off for 30 minutes.

Sometimes a person suddenly discovers small flying insects in his home. Moreover, these midges can be different in appearance: gray, red, white, black. It's time to think about whether they are dangerous, whether they bite, and how to get rid of them. These questions are easy to answer by understanding which small flying insects most often appear in a house or apartment.

Types of small midges found in human housing

Drosophila

Drosophila are small insects of the fruit fly family. Small size, ease of breeding, short life cycle made Drosophila indispensable as an object of research for genetic scientists. Drosophila also have popular names: vinegar, wine, fruit fly.

These insects live next to humans, because here they find their food, which is rotten berries, fruits, and sour juices.

The length of the insect is 1.5–3 mm, the wings are longer than the body.

The eyes are red, and the insect itself has a yellow-brown color.

Drosophila breed very quickly. In just 10 days, development from an egg to an adult takes place. The very next day after the appearance of the pupa, Drosophila lays eggs, and in her life she can lay up to 2 thousand eggs. With such a breeding rate, fruit flies quickly win back space in the apartment, and although they are quite harmless and do not bite, confused tenants urgently look for effective ways to get rid of them.

It is believed that fruit flies are not carriers of diseases, but the very flickering of these flies before our eyes is unpleasant.

Where do fruit flies come from? They cannot fly from afar, because these midges fly no more than 180 meters a day. The most common reason for the appearance of fruit flies, biologists call fruits and vegetables brought home, on which there are already eggs of these insects. As soon as the fruit begins to deteriorate and rot, larvae appear from the eggs, and flies from the larvae.

Drosophila can be brought into the house with soil for planting houseplants. Adult flies emerge from eggs and larvae in the ground. They breed especially actively when the flowers are waterlogged and the soil is acidic.

It is theoretically possible to get rid of fruit flies by simply doing a thorough cleaning and depriving them of food, but this can take a long time.

whiteflies

Microscopic white insects on indoor flowers are malicious pests of whitefly plants.

They may arrive with a new indoor flower or fly in from the street. These small insects lay their eggs on the underside of leaves. Hatching whiteflies suck out the juice, and leave sugary secretions behind. The leaves of the plant are deformed and then fall off along with the flower buds.

Pests reproduce extremely quickly and are extremely tenacious. If you do not start the fight against the whitefly on time, indoor flowers will die. It especially damages begonia, fuchsia, balsam.

Flower midges (sciarids)

adults sciarids(flower midge or mushroom mosquito, or soil mosquito) are black insects about 3–4 mm long.

They lay their eggs among the roots of plants. Mosquitoes themselves do not cause much harm, but their larvae, which are worms up to 5 mm long, are very dangerous for flowers. The larvae eat the roots of the plant, causing it to die.

Flower midges get into a house with soil infected with larvae. They might as well fly out the window. These insects are often found in damp basements of houses, and from there they make their way through ventilation. Midges may be interested in food waste, rotten fruits and vegetables.

Sciarids do not bite, but they must be fought, otherwise they will destroy all indoor flowers.

Butterflies

Butterflies (sewer flies) are small insects up to 2 mm long.

The larvae of these insects and pupae live in sewer pipes and feed on decaying organic matter. Adults have wings and a body covered with hairs. One butterfly clutch contains up to hundreds of eggs. There can be a lot of infection on the paws of these unpleasant insects. In addition, cases of allergy to butterflies are known.

Butterflies themselves can also be food for spiders and other large insects that will appear in the house if the sewer fly is not exterminated.

Ways to get rid of the little black midge

Drosophila control at home

Folk remedies: juice, cereals, vinegar, etc.

1. Pour kvass or fruit juice into a glass jar. You can put some fruits or berries instead. Make a funnel and insert into the neck. The flies will freely penetrate the bait, but they will not be able to fly out of the can. It is better to make a funnel from yellow paper, because insects are attracted to yellow.
2. If fruit flies appeared in flower pots, it is necessary to dry the ground and stick 4-5 matches into it with their heads down.
3. Put apple cores, watermelon peels in a plastic bag and wait until the flies gather in the bag. Then tie up the bag and discard.
4. Place the bait in a plastic cup and cover with cling film. Make small holes. When the flies gather in a cup, you can throw it away.
5. Pour apple cider vinegar into a bowl and add dishwashing detergent. Vinegar attracts fruit flies, and dish soap keeps them from getting out.
6. Flies can be perfectly caught with a vacuum cleaner.

There are also special means, which can be used to combat fruit flies, as well as other insects.

You can use some kind of insecticide in the form of an aerosol or fly plates, but in the kitchen where the products are located, this is not desirable. It is better to use sticky traps and tapes.

Some of the modern chemical-based pesticides for fruit fly control

1. The Aeroxon sticky trap is designed to kill harmful insects on indoor plants. The trap has an alluring color. The glue is odorless and non-toxic.
2. Sticky tape from flies Raptor. The yellow color attracts flies that stick to the adhesive layer.
3. Aeroxon window tape-flies. An effective and safe remedy for midges.

Breeding whiteflies and sciarids on indoor flowers in an apartment

Simple whitefly remedies

The easiest and most harmless way to kill whiteflies is to manually remove insects from houseplants. To do this, it is necessary to remove the leaves infected with the whitefly, and loosen the soil in the pot. The whole plant must be treated with a soapy solution.

Sticky tapes can be placed near indoor plants: adult whiteflies will stick to them.

Since the whitefly loves to live in the shade on the underside of the leaves, you can scare it away with light: put sheets of foil near the flowers. The sun's rays, reflected, fall on the underside of the leaves, where this pest lives.

If one of the indoor plants is most affected by the whitefly, then it may be better to donate it and not spread the dangerous insect to other flowers.

Make an infusion of yarrow. Add a couple of tablespoons of dishwashing liquid to it. Treat the leaves of affected plants with this composition.

1. To prevent the appearance of whiteflies, spray flowers every 10 days with an infusion of dandelion leaves and roots.
2. At the initial stage of the spread of the whitefly, wipe the plants with an infusion of garlic (3-4 crushed cloves and 2 cups of water).
3. Soak orange peels in water for a day, then add 2 tablespoons of liquid soap. Spray on plants several days in a row. Keep the product in the refrigerator.

Means of combating sciarids

1. Dry the top layer of soil by 1–2 cm. Then the egg laying will die.
2. Make an upper drain. Cover the soil with a layer of gravel or expanded clay. The drainage dries out quickly after watering, and the pest is unable to lay eggs.
3. Timely remove dried leaves and flowers. Eliminate watering plants with broths, sleeping tea, milk, etc. Food products simply rot in the soil and help pests multiply.
4. Water the soil several times with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. This tool is considered quite effective.
5. Draw with chalk "Mashenka" (from cockroaches) stripes at the top of the flower pots.
6. Use traps and adhesive tapes.
7. Keep the house clean and tidy, remove food waste in a timely manner, which can become food for sciarids.

The use of insecticides in a residential area should be treated with extreme caution. The most popular are aktara and aktellik. It is required to strictly follow the instructions for the use of such tools.

How to get rid of midges in the bathroom

In the bathroom, a butterfly (sewer fly) may appear near the drains. This insect is attracted to trash cans, clogged drains in the bathtub and sink.

From here follow the methods of dealing with this disgusting insect.

Butterfly Control Means

1. The main thing in the fight against the butterfly is cleaning the sewer pipes. Pipes must be cleaned both mechanically (with a cable) and modern means for clearing blockages. You can at least use the old folk way: pour soda into the drain and extinguish it with vinegar.
2. The trash can must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
3. Constantly monitor the cat litter if it is in the bathroom.
4. Hang sticky tape where insects appear.
5. Use bug traps.
6. Put containers with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil in the bathroom. The midges sit on the surface of the mixture, but cannot take off, as their wings stick together.
7. Sewer flies really dislike the smell of chlorine. Cleaning the surfaces in the bathroom with chlorine-containing cleaners will help get rid of the unpleasant neighborhood.

Indoor plants create comfort in the house and decorate the interior of the room. But sometimes midges start up in the flowers, which lay their larvae there. They harm the plant, and because of this, it gets sick. Since there are many ways to get rid of flies in a flower pot, you need to choose the option that will prevent their reappearance.

Varieties of midges

Flying midges lay their larvae in the ground of indoor plants. The larvae feed on the roots..

Because of this, the roots rot, and the plant slowly dies. To get rid of flies, you need to understand where they came from.

The reasons for their appearance may be hiding in bad soil, too frequent watering, or be external. The main factors of occurrence:

You can easily get rid of flies in the ground of indoor plants, but first you need to consider their types.

There are about 30 species of midges. They are divided into white and black insects. Each species has its own lifespan, which depends on seasonal conditions. Some of them die after 2 weeks, while others are able to live for 3 months. In hot weather, they breed strongly, but live less.. Types of midges:

Description of golden bronze: the life cycle of a large green beetle

Most of all, midges love plants with soft leaves, which are located close to each other. Most often they can be found on orchids, azaleas, violets, begonias and Decembrists. On fragrant plants with a mint and tobacco smell, midges practically do not start. More they don't like aloe.

Ways to eliminate insects

Checking if there are midges in the pot or not is very simple. Insects will scatter to the sides if the pot is shaken. To test the ground, it is enough to pour a lot of water into the flowerpot. It should be 1 cm above the ground. After a few minutes all larvae and eggs will float to the surface. In this case, you need to get rid of them urgently. There are many different ways in which you can eliminate flies in flower pots. You can get rid of two or three insects with folk remedies, and to destroy a large number of larvae, you will have to use special substances.

Folk remedies

If the larvae in the soil are invisible, and several midges fly nearby, then simple and effective folk remedies will help you get rid of them easily. You can use any improvised means: soap, matches, and citrus fruit peels. How to use:

To get rid of house flies and prevent their recurrence, the top layer of earth is removed and replaced with new soil. The soil is thoroughly dried. All larvae will die, as they do not like dry land.

Chemical substances

You should also know how to get rid of flies in flowers if folk remedies have not helped. Chemicals that can be purchased at flower shops will do a good job with this task. They are sold in the form of insecticidal preparations, powders and aerosols. The most effective of them:

So that chemicals do not harm the plant, and it does not die, they are used strictly according to the instructions.

Small pests in the apartment appear unexpectedly, annoy with their presence, some species bite. The insect flies everywhere and will make the fruit unfit for further consumption. There are many folk and modern means of struggle.

Where do small midges come from, how to get rid of them in the house, from what they wound up, and - we will tell further.

How to get rid of midges in the house at home on your own?

Getting rid of midges on your own at home is not difficult. There is no need to determine which fruit fly has wound up - they are all poisoned in the same way. The fight must be carried out until complete destruction, since the insect multiplies instantly. Ready-made products and small traps will help to remove fruit, flower and other types of midges in the house.

Why did small black midges appear at home?

To get rid of midges, you need to know why they appear and from where. Only after identifying the cause, it will become easier to deal with midges. Where does Drosophila come from at any time of the year, even in winter in conditions of complete sealing? The question is pertinent.

The kitchen is a place of accumulation of midges, as can be seen in the photo. And in the bathroom, you can often see white insects. Read about why insects are white in the bathroom

The reason for its appearance:
1. The first source of midges - dirty fruit or vegetable. Eggs appeared on the fruits during maturation, which are waiting for the fruit to rot, in a state of remission. When the main food appears, the eggs are activated and turn into a small insect. The larva must find its own food. A short lifespan is compensated by intensive reproduction.

OUR READERS RECOMMEND! To get rid of bugs, our readers advise the Pest-Reject repeller. The operation of the device is based on the technology of electro-magnetic pulses and ultrasonic waves! Absolutely safe, ecological product for humans and pets.

3. Pets' corner. Any organic matter decomposes. Hordes of flies appeared in stagnant aquariums, a dirty cage with a hamster or a rabbit. The habitats of pets must be clean so that the fly cannot feed and breed in the house or apartment.

4. green plants in the room. Small insects often appear in flower pots. If the flower was watered with tea leaves, then fruit flies appeared in the soil due to the remnants of tea, the favorite delicacy of midges. They start in flowers with high soil moisture.

5. Sewerage and plumbing. If the kitchen is kept in ideally clean conditions, then the sources of flies will be small food residues (fruit, vegetable) that have fallen into the siphon. The uncontrolled process of decay provokes the appearance of flies.

The answer to the question about the source of flies in an apartment or a private house can be associated with the process of decay in communications or a house. Small flies in the room appear thanks to a person; cleanliness in the apartment and sewerage affects reproduction and further life. You can get rid of midges in the house only by removing the source from which the uninvited guests appeared.

Folk remedies for small insects

Small midges how to get rid of folk remedies:

Bottle trap. Take a half-liter glass or plastic bottle with a narrow neck and put a rotten vegetable or fruit in it. Pull the oilcloth tightly at the top, make small holes. Leave the trap until it is completely filled or disappears in the house of flies.

A vacuum cleaner. Catch them flies and clean the trash can on the street. You can get rid of this method only from adults, small larvae remain unharmed.

Place small pieces on the hot skillet. pieces of camphor. Steam with a specific smell will get rid of annoying midges. With a frying pan, they pass through all the places in the house or apartment where the pests came from. The method is popular with housewives.

smell trap. Pour aromatic liquid (wine, compote, vinegar, juice, beer) into small glasses and drip a couple of drops of detergent. Glasses are placed in the place of the greatest accumulation of flies. A fruity or fruity smell will attract them, and washing liquid will help get rid of flies in the apartment.

Repellent: orange with cloves stuck in it (seasoning).

Little tricks if guests appeared in flowers: you can stick a few matches with their heads into the ground, water the plant with a weak solution of potassium permanganate or a soap mixture.

Garlic infusion will help get rid of midges: crush 3 heads of garlic in 1 liter of water (leave for 4 hours, and then pour into the soil). It is not recommended to keep the flower in a wooden box. The porosity of wood is higher than that of plastic or ceramics.
