How to catch centipedes in the wild at night when wild centipedes in the countryside are two yuan a

A centipede can be sold for two yuan, which is still relatively high. Some elderly people also go to the mountains at night to catch them. If you're lucky, you can catch 200 in one night!

So if it's two dollars a piece, you can earn three or four hundred dollars a night. This kind of trading without funds is still very cost-effective.

1.The best time to catch centipedes is late spring and early summer. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the number of centipedes is significantly smaller, as most of them have begun to hide to lay eggs and molt, so they are difficult to detect and catch.

Uncle Wang in the village is a barefoot doctor. He often went to catch centipedes and sold them in the town's pharmacy. According to Uncle Wang, the best quality of centipede catching is between Jingzhe and Qingming, and the best time to catch centipedes is at night, because the peak of centipede activity is from 8 to 2 o'clock in the evening.

In the morning they hide during the day and only come out to forage during this time, so they are most likely to find centipedes.

2.The tools for catching centipedes are also relatively simple, generally a large bamboo tube and a pair of iron chopsticks. Remember to use iron chopsticks.

As for the reason, the farmer did not inquire in detail. After eight o'clock, you can go out to catch centipedes. Because centipedes live in a relatively humid environment, if you want to catch centipedes, you have to go to places where centipedes are frequented, such as hillsides, fields, roadsides, overgrown places, and especially under some stone slabs near some old houses.

Among the dead branches, these are the places where centipedes are often found. After finding the centipede, pick it up with the usual iron chopsticks and put it in a bamboo tube. It should be noted that the bamboo tube should not be too small, otherwise the centipedes will kill each other together.

3.We all know that centipedes are highly venomous creatures, so if you are accidentally bitten by a centipede, the consequences can be serious. Therefore, we also need to take precautions when catching centipedes in the wild.

Since the probability of encountering poisonous snakes is also high when you go out to catch centipedes at night in summer, you must wear thicker boots on your feet and leather gloves on your hands. In this way, the upper and lower arms will be greatly reduced, and the probability of being bitten by poisonous snakes and scorpions will be greatly reduced, and then the pliers will be held in the hand. Generally, when we catch a centipede, we put it in a plastic bottle and close the lid.

Of course, sometimes we carry a bucket to pick it up.

Since we have to turn over a lot of rocks when we go out to catch centipedes, gloves are an essential tool to prevent both hand injuries and centipede bites when turning over stones.

Be sure to wear leather gloves and use pliers to scratch. The centipede is then placed in a plastic bottle and the lid is closed.

First of all, you need to find a flashlight to illuminate it, and then carry some insect repellent medicine to avoid being bitten by centipedes, and then centipedes can generally be found under the stones.

You need to have some experience, and you must do a good job of protection to avoid harming yourself, and it is not recommended for people with no experience.

The time for catching more than 1,000 centipedes a night should be selected during the peak period from April to June.

Where the centipedes are the most:

First: the dirtier the place, the more centipedes. Because centipedes are mainly carnivorous, and fertile places have the most insects, the first thing to look for is garbage heaps, fertile black understory soil, next to livestock pens, etc.

The second place is the dark place. There are many centipedes in sewers, kitchens, bathrooms, sewage pipes, etc.

The third is a damp place. Next to a stream, next to a puddle, next to a wetland, etc.

Fourthly, there are stone crevices, stone slabs, bricks, etc., and there are also more places such as stone piles and firewood piles. Wild centipedes are extremely aggressive and must be domesticated when raised, and it is difficult for ordinary people to succeed. Some people use too much force in the process of catching centipedes, or they fight each other in the utensils, which is difficult to feed, so it is not recommended to buy wild centipedes caught by others for artificial breeding.

First-time farmers are better off buying centipedes that have been domesticated by others for more than three years, and the survival rate is higher.

After being bitten by a centipede, a pair of small holes will appear on the **, which can be used with alkaline water such as soapy water.

Rinse repeatedly. The use of iodine tincture is prohibited.

Or acidic drugs to apply to the wound. If you have pain, redness and swelling all over your body, go to the hospital immediately. With Houttuynia cordata.

Dandelion mash external application**, the effect is obvious.

How to catch wild centipedes:

1. When catching wild centipedes, pay attention to the time, place and capture method.

The capture time should be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, when the temperature is higher and the centipede can come out to move; In addition, on the second day after the rain or heavy rain, centipedes are very fond of coming out and can be captured.

2. The location of the capture should be in the mountainous area.

At present, due to the high population density in the plain area, coupled with the large use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in agricultural production, centipedes can be killed, so there are no wild centipedes in the plain area or occasionally found 1-2, which cannot solve the problem. Therefore, the hunting of wild centipedes now has to be carried out in the mountains.

3. Centipedes have the habit of lying dormant at night, and there are also centipedes crawling out of their holes during the day, but the number is not large and must be caught at night.

The method of catching centipedes is relatively simple, only need to prepare a flashlight, a clip made of bamboo chips, and a container with a very smooth inner wall to prevent the captured centipedes from escaping.

Catchers should wear tight-fitting shoes and stockings to prevent being bitten by poisonous insects while walking in the mountains at night. After these tasks are prepared, go to the places where centipedes often haunt at night and shine with a flashlight, and after the centipedes are illuminated, they lie down in place because they are afraid of light, and then gently clamp the back of their bodies with bamboo clips and put them in containers.

4. Dig a long ditch in the place where centipedes often live, put chicken feathers, bones, horse manure, garbage, broken bricks and other things in the ditch, and cover it with a layer of loose soil.

When centipedes smell fishy, they go to the ditch to feed, lay eggs, and reproduce. After 20 days, you can dig and catch, and then add new chicken feathers, bones, garbage, etc. in the ditch, cover with a layer of loose soil, and lure centipedes into the Tao to be caught. In autumn, wild centipedes can be caught in the forest in this way.
