What should I do if there are insects and moths in rice?

Due to the hot weather and high humidity of the air, rice is prone to moisture absorption, mold, and small moths. How to deal with it:

1. If the rice has small moths, you can put the rice in a cool and ventilated place to let the insects crawl out slowly, and then sieve it.

2. Oxygen-free preservation method: first spread out and blow the rice to be stored in a ventilated place (note that it should not be exposed to the sun) to dry thoroughly, and then put the rice into a non-toxic (food) plastic bag with less air permeability (it should be full), tie the bag tightly, and put it in a cool and dry place, so that the rice can be stored for a long time.

3. Zanthoxylum pepper insect prevention preservation method: Zanthoxylum pepper is a natural antioxidant with a special fragrance and insect repellent effect. The specific method is to put 20 to 30 peppercorns in the pot, add an appropriate amount of water (it is advisable to soak the rice pocket), put it on the stove fire to cook the fragrance of peppercorns, and then remove the pot from the fire, put the rice bag into the pepper water and take it out to dry, and then pour the rice into the pocket.

In addition, wrap a few small packets of peppercorns with gauze, put them on the top, middle and bottom of the rice bag, tie the bag tightly, and put the rice bag in a cool and ventilated place to prevent rice insects.

4. Kelp insect prevention and preservation method: Dried kelp has a strong ability to absorb moisture and has the effect of killing insects and inhibiting mold. When preserving rice, rice and kelp are mixed in a ratio of 100:1, and the kelp is taken out for about 10 days to dry and dry thoroughly, and then put back into the rice, so that after repeating several times, rice mildew and insects can be prevented.

If the rice is insect, you will eat it, although the taste is not very good, don't waste it, just pay more attention to the insects when washing the rice. In the future, when storing rice, you can use Sichuan pepper to wrap it in gauze and put it in a rice bag to prevent insects, in addition, it should be kept dry and ventilated, and it can also be stored in a relatively closed container, so that it is very reassuring.

You can buy a rice bucket with a lid and put the rice in the rice bucket to seal it. That will reduce the number of bugs, and you can also put an apple in the rice bag.

Answer: Hello, dear, 1. Poplar leaf insecticide method: After the rice is insected, move the rice to a dry and sealed container, and put the freshly picked poplar leaves into the container and seal it with the rice. After four or five days, the storage container is opened to find that the larvae and eggs have been killed, and then the rice is filtered through a dustpan or sieve and ready to eat.

2. Frozen insect control method: rice that has been placed for a long time is most prone to insects in summer, and the insect rate is lower in winter. In response to this situation, the rice is put into a clean pocket and sent to the freezer compartment of the refrigerator in batches to endure the 24-hour "cold winter".

The rice treated in this way is not susceptible to insects after the arrival of summer. 3. Cool ventilation method: insert chopsticks into the rice of raw insects, and pull out the insects after the insects on the surface of the rice climb up.

Then, spread the rice in a cool, ventilated place, and the insects at the depth of the rice will crawl out of the warmer rice. This method is simple and convenient, but it takes a long time to get rid of insects.

Dry it and put it in a sealed rice bowl with a few cloves of garlic or a pack of peppercorns!

On a sunny day, take it out to the sun and kill the insects and moths. Don't use medicine, food will breathe.

1. Freeze deworming method. Rice noodles that have been left for a long time are most susceptible to insects in summer, while the insect growth rate is lower in winter. In this case, the remaining rice and noodles stored after the winter are put into clean pockets and sent to the freezer compartment of the refrigerator in batches to undergo the torture of 24 hours of "cold winter".

After such treatment, the rice noodles are not easy to grow insects after the arrival of summer, probably because the rice worms and flour insects cannot resist the ruthlessness of the "cold winter" and self-extinguish in the bud.

2. Poplar leaf insecticide method. After the rice noodles are insected, the rice noodles are moved to a dry and sealed container, and the freshly picked poplar leaves are placed in the container and sealed with the rice noodles. After four or five days, the storage container is opened to find that the larvae and eggs have been killed, and then the rice noodles are filtered through a dustpan or sieve and ready to eat.

3. Cool ventilation method. Insert chopsticks into the rice noodles of the raw insects, and wait for the insects on the middle surface of the rice noodles to climb up and remove the insects. Then, the rice noodles are spread in a cool and ventilated place, and the insects in the depths of the rice noodles will crawl out of the hot rice noodles.

This method is simple and convenient, but it takes a long time to get rid of insects.

4. Basket sieving method. In order to shorten the insect removal time, after removing the insects on the surface, you can use a basket made of bamboo or wicker to remove the insects in the flour; The rice is sifted through a sieve made of bamboo strips. Then, it is spread in a cool and ventilated place to dry to remove all kinds of insects in the rice noodles.

5. The reason why Sichuan pepper can repel insects is because it is a natural antioxidant with a special fragrance. Rice worms are very sensitive to smells, and they are even more afraid of this special smell. Here's how:

Prepare several small pieces of clean gauze, each piece wrapped with a small pepper shell, tie it and place it in rice or noodles, and place them in different positions in the bag to ensure that the whole bag of rice noodles has an effect. In addition, you can also soak the rice bag in the boiling pepper juice for 10 minutes, dry it and then use it to fill the rice, which can also effectively prevent insects. It is best to use newly bought peppercorns, which have a strong smell.

After a while, the pepper flavor fades, so I change to a new pepper gauze bag.

6. In the same way, star anise, fennel, liquor, and garlic can all play a role in preventing rice worms. Put a clean wine bottle in the rice tank, the mouth of the wine bottle is higher than the rice noodles, and the bottle is filled with 100 grams of liquor, which is not only to prevent insects but also moth. Or mix some garlic cloves in the rice to prevent worm borers.

If the rice noodles are already wormed, you can put fresh ginger in them to drive the worms out.

Pour out all the rice, pass the wind, don't expose it to the sun, wrap the peppercorns and ingredients used at home with gauze, and put them in the rice. It's better to buy less next time. Let's use a rice bucket!

Spread a dry cloth over the rice, and the insects will stick to the cloth.

1. Improve grain storage conditions, keep warehouses clean, plug gaps to prevent rice elephants and other storage pests from entering, so as to reduce the harm to grain;

2. Improve storage technology, such as using plant ash, plastic film or kraft paper to isolate and store pests. If an insect infestation has occurred, the rice elephant should be driven out of the grain by exposure, so that the pest is separated from the pest-free grain;

3. Kill by spraying chemicals or phosphine fumigation;

4. If the amount of grain preserved is small, you can also protect the grain from rice elephants by insect-proof packaging or adding long-term odor insect repellent to the packaging bag.

How to exterminate rice worms:

It is best to take away the food and go to the sun to dry after the hygienic rice cabinet and locker, and then use the pesticide or other low-toxicity insecticides, close the cabinet door after spraying, and wait for half a day before opening. Wash again the next day before putting in the food.

How to exterminate moths:

As long as the rice worms are eliminated, there will be no more moths, and the rest can only be eliminated with insecticides or electric mosquito swatters.

1. Rice has small moths, you can put the raw insect rice in a cool and ventilated place, let the insects crawl out slowly, and then sift it.

2. If the rice is buried, you can also choose to take the rice to the sun for exposure, so that the moth can fly away, which is a very good method, and it can also dry the rice.

3. Put it in the refrigerator and freeze it for 24 hours.

If the rice worm moth is not serious, you can put the rice in the freezer of the refrigerator with the bag, and then take it out after 24 hours, at this time the millet worms are frozen to death and turn red and black, so that it is easy to pick up, and it will not affect the original taste of the rice.

4. Add Sichuan peppercorns.

The taste of Sichuan pepper is more special, and it can also repel rice bugs and moths. Take an appropriate amount of Sichuan pepper, divide it into three parts, wrap it in gauze or cotton cloth respectively, put it in the upper, middle and lower parts of the rice, and the insects will run away. This method can also be used to prevent rice insects, after putting the peppercorns, tie the rice bag tightly, and put it in a cool and ventilated place.

If you store it in this way, the rice will not have a strange taste, and you don't have to worry about affecting the taste of the rice.

5. Add ginger.

Ginger can get rid of the insects in the rice, put the fresh ginger in the container of rice, and the small insect moths will run out when they smell the ginger. When the rice bug moth comes out, you need to take out the ginger in case it spoils or contaminates the rice.
