What to do if moths appear at home

Moths are common insects in daily life. They like bright places, but moths can also be found in the kitchen, such as in flour, rice, and grains. If there are moths in your home, you need to ventilate the house adequately to allow air to circulate, and also clean the house to prevent any odors from occurring. You can also spray some insecticide, but be careful not to spray it when there are people in the house because it contains many chemical ingredients.

1. Cleaning this is relatively simple. Moths are mainly born in dry goods. I often put things in a mess , so I see this more often. I found that the things that breed moths are: flour, rice, milk powder, soy milk powder, dried vegetables, etc. 1. Clean the environment and tidy up. 2. Seal any food that can be sealed, including the food I mentioned above. 3. Food can be placed in containers on the balcony to dry for a day or two and sift out debris and crumbs. 4. Buy a mosquito-killing lamp at home and turn it on in the kitchen or places where there are many moths after going to bed at night. 5. Since it takes some time for moths to transform from larvae to adults, you need to have a certain amount of patience to deal with this matter. After about half a month you will feel very peaceful.

2. Insects are phototactic and are particularly sensitive to ultraviolet light. Based on this principle, you can take the following measures: 1. Change lighting fixtures to incandescent lamps and use red lampshades to reduce ultraviolet light; 2. Place 1 to 2 ultraviolet lamps (electric mosquito lamps) at the door or at the entrance of insects, and pay attention to the location and height of the placement; 3. If conditions permit, install protective facilities such as screens or plastic curtains for better results. 4. Spraying insecticide in the morning and evening will generally improve after a week.

3. I don't know an effective method, but I know that people who keep things in a mess tend to have moths at home. Moreover, once moths appear in a home, it is easy for moths to appear again. This is true. My uncle's home is like this. They are busy making money and don't clean up the house. Things are piled together, so a lot of moths grow. They have been unable to get rid of them for several years. Occasionally, when things are tidied up, the moths disappear for a while. So I suggest that you organize your things and don't pile them together. Don't buy too much rice at one time, especially in summer. A bag of rice will start to have insects in two months. Rice is the main source of moths. Open the windows in the room for ventilation. High temperatures are more conducive to the growth of moths. That's all.
