Dmitry, Samara asks a question: Good afternoon! Help cope with the situation that has arisen! I was on a business trip for several months, and when I returned, I discovered in the apartment a lot of insects of silvery color with the mustache and in the front, and in the back of the body. Insect size is about 1 cm. A friend told me that the insect is like a scaper. Tell me, please, if this is really a scaper, how to get rid of her. I tried a tool from cockroaches, but it does not help. Thank you for the answer. Expert replies:
The flake insect appears, as a rule, in connection with the appearance of sugar and starch products in the apartment.
The scaly is called a woundless insect, appearing in wet rooms. The first question of the owners who have divorced the scales: how to get rid of such a mischief? And this question is really relevant, because to remove the insect, which is also often called the wet, is not easy enough.
During the day, insects are hidden under plinths and in the objects of furniture, but when darkness comes, they go hunting in large numbers. The prey of scaly can become everything that contains starch or sugar. Usually, the locches are powered by the bodies of other dead insects, wallpaper, natural or synthetic tissues. For a few days, they are able to spare books books or household items.
Such unpretentiousness in food leads to a rapid reproduction of scales, so you can not allow them to appear. If the insects still started in the apartment, it is necessary to conduct general cleaning: thoroughly wipe dust from all, even the most remote surfaces and wipe the condensate accumulated on the tubes in the bathroom. It is advisable to find a place where parasites are hidden.
Then you need to take measures to make the air in the room more dry. Moccarians are bred only when air humidity in the apartment exceeds 70%. It is worth reduced by the level of humidity up to 30%, and insects will leave their home.

A good way to get rid of parasites is the use of disinfectants. So, a number of activities should be made for which it is required to prepare:
- copper sulphate;
- insect aerosols;
- any chlorine-based cleaning agent;
- Fan or hairdryer.
Chlorine-based products will help get rid of insect.
First of all, you should clean the bathroom from furniture items and organize access to all corners of the room. Then it is necessary to carefully treat all the surfaces, including the bottom of the sink and pipes, a tool with chlorine. When the remedy is dry, the areas are recycled with a solution of copper sulphate.
All places where moisture can accumulate (space under the bathroom and between pipes) is dried with a hair dryer or fan. In addition, you can increase air humidity by installing a portable fireplace or heater in the bathroom. The wets are dying when the room temperature is installed above 35 ° C. If you hold the heater in the bathroom for several days, the wets will forever leave this place.
When the room will eat well, aerosols should be used against household insects. It is better to purchase enough strong and toxic means here, because vegetable-based preparations when combating scales are ineffective.
To secure the result of aerosols, it is necessary to use 1 time per week for 30 days. As a rule, insects disappear after 1-2 weeks, but processing must be repeated as prevention.
If regular accommodation in the apartment eliminates the use of strong toxic means, self-made traps can be applied. For example, you can make a trap from a glass jar with your own hands. The algorithm of work is simple: the outer surface of the can be wounded with a tape or scotch, then a piece of bread, apple or other attractive food is placed in it. At night, the wets will climb into the bank to enjoy the proposed treat, and they will remain only to shake into the toilet.
