is it, moth gnat , which is rarely seen in ordinary households. Most of them are seen in public toilets, old houses or summer toilets, often climbing on white tiles. I saw that it didn't move very much and didn't bite, so I thought I didn't need to pay attention to it. Until one day, a moth appeared in my bathroom. I checked it online and found out that it was called a moth gnat, and it is a bug that can cause diarrhea in children!

Moth gnats are pests and cannot be left alone

It turns out that moth gnats grow in septic tanks and sewage pipes and will enter the toilet along the water pipes, so they are very dirty and can spread E. coli. Frightened, he was determined to eliminate it. First, cover the drainage holes and floor drains in the bathroom. Basically, there is no need to use pesticides. If you see them, just use a fly swatter. Of course, cleaning the bathroom is basic. However, everything I did was exhausted, and it was of no use at all.

My bathroom is not dirty to begin with! Regular cleaning is done, and in the seven or eight years since I moved in, there have never been any moth gnats. Since I wanted to get rid of moth gnats, I have carried out a flood-like cleaning of the bathroom many times, from the ceiling, middle, doors, windows and tiles, to the floor, and every time I drowned dozens or twenty moth gnats. I flushed again and again, brushed and wiped, and used toilet detergent and bleach to clean the water pipes. I also used pesticides, but the gnats kept coming back. Every few hours, seven or eight of them would cling to the white tiles, which almost made me collapse!

To prevent pests from invading the human body, wear gloves and a mask when bathing in the bathroom.

I started to look for its hiding place. I thought it was the dark place behind the sink, and there would always be a few hiding there from time to time. However, I washed and brushed all the corners of the toilet, and began to wonder if it was hiding in the ceiling?

A moth gnat can lay 30 to 100 eggs each time. The larvae are like black and thin short-haired hairs. If the larvae penetrate into the human skin, they will become parasitic. This is a serious case of myiasis. Think about it, adults inevitably have to ensure the integrity of their skin every day, but children will have small wounds on their skin. Eliminating moth gnats is a must-do! The moth gnat larvae will soon pupate again, and then emerge into small flying black insects. Because it has gone through egg, larvae, pupa, and emergence, it is a complete metamorphosis. I didn't expect the little moth gnat to be so complicated.

Starting from the end of last summer, moth gnats as big as sesame seeds began to appear in my bathroom. A dozen of them died in the water pool at the corner of the bathtub at a time. Therefore, when I saw moth gnats while taking a bath, I didn’t take it seriously. It's just a little insect that can't live for a day, but I didn't expect it to be a newly emerged moth gnat. After a while, those sesame bugs disappeared and grew into moth gnats, and I realized that something was serious. Where did

come from? Be sure to find the broken water pipes.

Moth gnats will not last more than a month after emerging. Logically speaking, you only need to clean the bathroom, especially brush out the stains, so that the gnats lack food to eat and hide, and install movable hole covers in the drainage holes. , which can prevent new insects from flying in again and should be controllable. However, my family has been extended for several months. At this time, my woman's unique reasoning intuition emerged!

It suddenly occurred to me that the water pipe in my bathtub would get clogged every once in a while. Shortly before the moth gnat appeared, it had never been clogged again.

One day, I opened the hole cover on the side of the bathtub and saw a lot of wet sediment. It looked like water was leaking! I picked up the shower head and rushed inside to wash it. I was surprised to see at least hundreds of gnats and larvae floating on the water. After washing, the moth gnats on the wall were greatly reduced. In order to prevent future troubles, the wall was washed again and sprayed with insecticide a few days later.

then repaired the water pipe, and it turned out that the water pipe was broken. After replacing it with a new one, this terrifying day was finally ended.
