Many of us spend long hours cleaning , from the most secret corners , sweeping out the debris and cleaning up the filthy dirt. A warm, cozy and shining clean kitchen is the pride of this hostess. How much disappointment does a hardworking woman experience when she discovers in her kingdom hordes of uninvited tiny guests. Yes, it is these microscopic parasites that can spoil not only the mood of a person, but also destroy a lot of products. Their innumerable tribes inhabit bags and boxes with pasta, flour and cereals, and it turns out that it is not easy to get the aggressor out of the kitchen, it's easy.
Why do the bugs get bugs?
We know the cockroach and fly from the very childhood, therefore, most people know the methods of fighting these obsessions. But what are these little black insects, which are striving to make their own dwelling in a container with cereals? A dark brown or yellow-brown beetle, about 2.5 cm long, is most likely called proudly Surinamese. Best of all, he feels himself in heated granaries, in food factories and in our kitchens. In addition to pasta, grains, various cereals, they are not averse to enjoying breadcrumbs, dried berries and dried fruits.
You were sure that everything was sterile, cleaned up, the cracks were pinched, and in the croup all the bugs appeared. This attack is very tenacious and bringing home them is extremely simple. If the parasite can be noticed, their eggs are very small. Lay their insects in the most inconspicuous crevices, in creases on bags or small containers, even directly on the flat surface of the packing box. At first you will not even notice the appearance of a dangerous alien. But one day, if preventive measures are not taken, you risk a small shock when you see a whole army of these dirty-brown aliens in a container or a bag of croup.
