What to do if there are many small flying insects at home

Sometimes it is very annoying to have a lot of small flying insects at home. So what should we do with a lot of small flying insects at home? Generally speaking, when the weather turns from warm to cold, small flying insects will fly into the house to keep warm, so we must ensure the integrity of the screens so that the small flying insects can be kept out of the window. If the small flying insects have already flown into the house, if the number is relatively small, you can use tools such as fly swatters to eliminate them. If the number is relatively large, you need to use drugs to kill the insects. Next, let’s take a closer look at what to do if there are a lot of small flying insects in your home.

1. If small flying insects appear in your home, you need to check whether the garbage from the previous day was not thrown away. Leftover food in the trash can is most likely to produce small flying insects. Also, if there is water on the bathroom floor, coupled with the high temperature, it is easy for small flying insects to appear on the walls and floor. Small black flies are also likely to grow in flower pots.

2. Therefore, the house should be ventilated frequently, and the bathroom and kitchen must be kept dry and clean. Take out the trash on the same day. Then the cooked food should be put in the refrigerator, and the beans, peanuts, peppers, and rice in the cupboard must be sealed in bags. You can check them from time to time to see if there are any insect eggs or flying insects. Once it appears, it should be poured out or measures should be taken in time.

3. If there are small flying insects in the flowerpot, first check whether the soil in the flowerpot is too moist. Moist soil, higher temperature and warmer air will easily breed insects. If there are bugs in the flowerpot, you should place the flowerpot in a ventilated place on the balcony. It is easy for bugs to grow in an unventilated corner. Control the watering of the plant and clean up the dead leaves inside. When it is dry, insects naturally have no environment to survive. Also pay attention to the hydroponic plants to see if their leaves are rotten and prone to infestation by insects.

4. If there are many insects at home or in flower pots, you can choose to spray them with insecticide. Put nearby food in bags to avoid contamination. You can also use the medicine that kills cockroaches. Sprays are better. Don't use too much, otherwise the smell in the house will be too unpleasant and it will easily cause air pollution.

5. However, if you feel that the smell of insecticides is too strong and not suitable for use at home, there are other methods to control small flying insects. For example, collect cigarette butts and soak them in water. After a day or two, when you see the water turn yellow and darker, you can pour it into the soil in the flowerpot. This will be more effective.

6. There is another method that seems to be quite effective. If you have common mosquito coils at home, you can put them on a plate, then place it next to the flower pot, light the mosquito coils, and smoke the small flying insects to death. But this method doesn't taste very good. You can also get some honey, juice or other sweeter liquids, put them in small plates and place them around the basin. Lure them into flying in and then being unable to get out.

7. 7 In addition, you can buy yellow sticky insect boards at a nearby market or flower and bird market, and hang them near flower pots where there are many insects flying around. This method has been tried by many flower lovers and is quite useful. More advanced ones include mosquito and insect killer lamps. Also, you can use chili peppers or garlic, or use vinegar and diluted water to spray on the insects, or spray it in flower pots. The insects probably can't stand the smell. It will disappear.
