Did you happen to have left the apartment for a couple of days, and on return found flocks of flies ( Drosophila ), flooding the kitchen and balcony. How is this explained? The fact is that for the development of midges a rotting environment is required, which can not be rendered by garbage or even a half-eaten apple. And as soon as the rotting environment arises, the insect development mechanism immediately starts. And since midges quickly grow and multiply in large numbers, in a short time they turn into a real swarm. To get rid of annoying midges, you can use folk remedies or ordinary chemicals to kill insects.
Remedy for midwifery at home
So, with what you can get rid of fruit flies? There are several time-tested ways:
- The bait . Take a plastic cup and put a piece of rotten fruit. Cover the glass with a plastic wrap and make holes in it, that the midges could get there, but could not get out.
- Smoke . This tool will save you from midges in the country and in the apartment. Hold the juniper over the plate, camphor or fir cone. The emerging smoke will permanently rid you of insects.
- Other means . Moss also do not tolerate the smell of elderberry, valerian, tomato leaves, carnation essential oil and cedar.
However, whatever means you use, you will have to find the source of rotting in the apartment. Check the trash can, the fruit basket, the pots with the plants. If you find drops on the floor of jam or honey , wash them thoroughly. Do so that midge has nowhere to develop, and you quickly get rid of them.
