Hello, everyone? Today I will tell you about ways to solve a common problem – bugs in the croup? Do not forget to put ️ and save? In fact, there are several different species of these insects, they can live in cereals, dried fruits, nuts, flour, but the main question is where do they come from? Everything is very simple, in most cases, we already in the store buy products with them or their larvae? What to do?? ️Throw away ️ Of course, there is an option to go through, fry or, on the contrary, freeze, but in addition to the insects themselves, there are also products of their vital activity: from larvae to shell particles. And the nutritional value of cereals will be quite different, since insects eat the core of the grains. The container in which the insects lived needs to be thoroughly washed and treated with dining 9% vinegar, they can wipe the locker, in case of travel bugs. How do you avoid it?? Look at the packaging when buying. Store cereals, flour in sealed containers so that the animal does not spread to everything stored nearby. Will glass jars, plastic containers and even cans of infant formula work?? Dried fruits and nuts should be stored in the refrigerator. In flour, insects can be scared off by bay leaves or cloves flowers. And, of course, do not forget to periodically review products, conduct general cleaning in lockers. Honestly, I tried more ways to store dried fruits with a clove of garlic, but no matter what, and they were saturated with aroma and subsequently had an unpleasant taste, so this option is NOT recommended?? Have you had this problem? how did you get rid of the bugs?

Particular attention should be paid to the manka. It is her many hostess called among the frequent culprits of the beetle invasion. “No manka – no bugs”, – confidently said in the comment of one of the readers.
Food bugs easily and quickly spread through food stocks, crawling into any crevices. Weevils, for example, easily gnaw through sealed plastic bags and even cardboard boxes.
Kitchen supplies that were in the same closet with infected cereals should be protected from insects. For example, pour on the bowl and put for 40 minutes in the oven heated to 80-90 degrees. Alternatively, freeze in the freezer for 3-4 days.
If throwing away food is not your method, then the same procedure can be done with an infected cereal, while there are still not very many bugs in it. Only first it should be sifted through a small sieve.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove hidden bugs and their eggs from small crevices. The vacuum cleaner bag should then be frozen for 3-4 days to prevent re-infection.
It is recommended to wipe the shelves with household soap and vinegar dissolved in water.
Protect foods from re-infection Buy food in small quantities to use before the expiration date. Keep food storage areas clean and do not allow food particles to accumulate there so as not to attract insects.
Always store cereals, flour, pasta, dried fruits, spices in tightly closed glass, metal and plastic cans. To protect against bugs, add garlic, bay leaf, clove seeds, citrus peel to such banks (after the example of experienced housewives).
If bugs in the croup appear again, check other rooms in the apartment for the presence of foci of reproduction and repeat the described actions.
