You may have seen this "UFO" in your own toilet. It is small and does not make any sound, so people generally do not destroy it.
always appears in the toilet
However, although this guy looks inconspicuous, its harm is actually far beyond your imagination.
So, what exactly is this little flying insect who likes to live in the bathroom? Is there any way to eliminate it? What are the small flying insects in the bathroom?
The name of this small flying insect is moth flies . People also call it moth flies , moth flies , etc. The English name can be translated as pit flies.
There are many other names for moth frogs
No one who has seen it thinks this guy should not be a pest. After all, it does not suck blood everywhere like mosquitoes, and its favorite thing is to lie on the walls of the bathroom or kitchen. Occasionally, it circles for two weeks. If you approach it, it will not be frightened and fly away directly. It always feels like it is half a beat slow.
According to the data, there are many members of the moth frog family, which can reach more than 51,000 kinds of in the world. Among them, the most widely distributed and largest population are white spotted moth frog and star spotted moth frog . The colors and patterns of the two are obviously different, and the diseases they spread are also different.
Moth frog species has thousands of types
If you have carefully observed the moth frog, you will find that its wings are round and there are a lot of fluff on its body, which looks like a reduced version of a fly.
Moth frogs, like butterflies, are also completely perverted insect . If you want to be born smoothly, you need to survive the period when eggs, larvae and pupae are born. However, its pupa period is much shorter than that of butterflies, and it only takes 20 to 40 hours to to complete.
Moth frog growth and development process
Because moth frog is very small, its eggs are smaller, and it often lays eggs near septic tanks and drainage ditches, which is difficult to be observed. However, if it is stationed in your home, then the sewer and the washbasin are all places for its breeding.
This is why, the bathroom is obviously a relatively closed place in the home, but these "-day foreign guest " still appear.
It is worth mentioning that this guy is actually similar to a cockroach. When you find an adult, it means that its eggs are already spread throughout the sewer. In this case, even if you slap one to death, there will be more moths waiting to take over its position.
Be careful that the appearance of moth flies in bathrooms is generally in groups. Many people think that moth flies do not bite people. Most of the time, they only like to lie on the wall or climb on it. It seems that it will not cause any trouble to us, so they are too lazy to deal with these small flying insects. But in fact, the moth is just hidden very well, and its harm is still very great.
The harm of moth frog
First of all, everyone should understand that the surface of the bathroom looks clean, but in fact there are still a large number of bacteria hidden, so the moth frog that has lived here for a long time also has a large number of bacteria .
Secondly The larvae of moths are feces and rotten. This means that they have grown up eating all kinds of garbage since childhood, which is no less than "raising Gu". The bacteria, virus components and types in adults are definitely beyond imagination.
Moth frogs will bring a lot of harm
The last point is that although moth frogs do not require parasitics, they can complete the abnormal process, but if its larvae and egg accidentally enter the human body, they will also use the host's body tissue to complete the life history .
Previously, the First People's Hospital of Tianmen City, Hubei Province, had encountered a case where moths invaded the human body and caused serious infection. The patient was a farmer in his forties.
She said that when she was going to the toilet, white insects often appeared in her excrement. According to the hospital's inspection report, this guy is a moth that looks "harmless".
According to the doctor's visit, this woman's family conditions are not good, and her clothes are usually washed in a small river outside, and it is the location where moths have the favorite spawning.
moth frog eggs will often appear in rivers
Therefore, moth frog eggs may just stick to her close-fitting clothing, and then the larvae hatch and drill into the body, and eventually reproduce in human tissues. Speaking of this, do you still think that moths and flies are not harmful?
Of course, there are many news about moth infection, but it is rare to penetrate the human urinary system.
Most of the time they like people's nostrils or ears. After entering, they are infected with myiasis , causing inflammation in these parts of the people. After inflammation, people will feel unbearable itching and often need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
Myiasis is usually carried by insect maggots
In addition, moths are not good at flying, so they prefer to lie on the wall. But sometimes they will take off suddenly and rush around. If they accidentally enter the human eye, it will also cause serious consequences.
Therefore, don’t take it seriously. If you find that there are a large number of small flying insects in your bathroom, you must find a way to eliminate them.
So, how can we eliminate these inconspicuous little flying insects?
Moth fur prevention measures
For moth fur that are already adults, you can use electric mosquito swatter to directly destroy them. After all, this guy has poor flying ability, so it is easy to be caught.
You can use an electric mosquito swatter to eliminate them
If you don’t want to use an electric mosquito swatter, you can also use insecticide . In short, after understanding how scary the bacteria on it is, it is better not to deal with it directly with your hands.
But just eliminating adults is obviously not a success, because the eggs of moth frogs may have been densely distributed on the sewer rock walls, so the adults will still appear again.
So you need to first confirm where the moth frogs in the bathroom may lay eggs, such as the sewer entrance. Ordinary floor drains may not prevent very small moth frogs. If necessary, you can stick tape to the drain port .
Before completely sticking, can use insecticides or hot water to disinfect the sewer.
Direct the sewer with hot water
In addition, in order to ensure that moths will not appear again, also needs to maintain the sanitation of the bathroom. uses a brush to brush the tiled walls of the bathroom every week to ensure that there is no food for moths on it.
It is worth mentioning that in order to save water, many elderly people often place a sewage bucket in the toilet at home, store the sewage for washing hands and vegetables in it, and then use it to flush the toilet.
This container is also the best place for moths to lay eggs and reproduce. Therefore, it is best not to pile up sewage in and pour it out in time to maintain the hygiene of the environment.
Kitchen should be kept clean and tidy
So, in addition to moths, what other annoying pests do we encounter in daily life? What other "pests" are there in
?
Mosquitoes and flies should be the two-piece summer set that everyone hates the most. Everyone has a lot of experience in killing them, so we mainly talk about several "pests" that everyone is not familiar with.
The first one is Ant.
It is always difficult for people to define the good or bad ants, but in fact, there are indeed many ants in nature who like to invade human houses and steal human sweets.
Pay attention to the "invasion" of ants
For example, Xiao Huangjia Ant . This guy likes to enter human homes to forage. Because it carries a large number of bacteria on it, it will pose a threat to human health.
The second is crypto-winged insect , which has been frequently popularized in recent years.
This guy likes to lie down at night and is very small and hard to be found. Because the body of the crypto-winged insect contains a strong acid toxin , it often causes skin allergies when crawling on human skin.
crypto-winged insects are called "flying sulfuric acid"
So once you find this insect, it is best to avoid contact with it. If the skin is accidentally exposed and there is an allergic reaction, you should rinse it with soapy water immediately.
If the symptoms have not yet been relieved, you need to go to the hospital for disinfection in time, because the toxins of the crypto-winged insects are quite unfriendly to allergic people!
