    It depends on where you put the food, if it is out of the reach of moths, of course you can eat it, if moths can reach it, it is better not to eat, moths will lay eggs in it (this is unlikely, moths feed on nectar) In short, be careful, just drive the moths out.

    If the food has been crawled over by moths, it is recommended not to eat it again, as moths may carry bacteria or viruses on their bodies, which may cause diarrhea and in severe cases, poisoning. Although moths themselves are not poisonous, they may carry bacteria or viruses that may have effects on a person's health. If the food has only been briefly touched by a moth and has not been materially contaminated, it may be edible.

    But to be on the safe side, it's best not to take risks to avoid health risks.

    Please pay attention to food hygiene, ensure food safety, and avoid unnecessary health risks.

    Cleaning up from time to time will definitely not happen.

    And moths are also poisonous.

    Those things have to have the right environment to survive.

    It is best to seal what you eat with food tongs, (it is sold in supermarkets), otherwise there will be a lot of bugs in the food and do not leave debris.

    If you want to kill ants, there is a trick, which is to grind the egg shell into powder, and you can also knock it. Put it in a lot of places where ants will pass, in the corners of the wall, and it won't take long to find that the ants are gone, or there will be in the future, but this method is very effective.

    The reason why there are suddenly a lot of small moths in the kitchen: The most likely reason for the growth of moths in the kitchen is that the stored beans and rice have grown worms, and then they have grown into moths. In addition, moths can also grow in places such as sinks where water has stagnated.

    Ways to get rid of these little moths:

    1. Find out the root cause of the moth, generally in the grain or dry goods, and expose the food of the insects to the sun. If it is not much, you can put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator in batches for half a day, which can be more effective in preventing insects.

    2. Put a few heads of garlic in the bag of raw insects, or wrap spices such as peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise and other spices in gauze and put them in the cabinet.

    3. It is necessary to clean the kitchen hygiene, because the kitchen is damp, and if the moth eggs are not cleaned for only 24 hours, new moths will breed. Grown small moths can be removed with commercially available insecticides that contain synthetic pyrethroids.

    4. Insecticide control methods, moths mainly breed in all kinds of stagnant water, it is recommended to clean up garbage regularly and develop good living habits. Peel vegetables should be cleaned up in time, and the home should be kept clean from time to time, especially the cleanliness of the kitchen must be maintained, and the juice that flows when eating fruits should be careful, and some insecticides can also be sprayed in some corners of the home, and attention must be paid to taking out the garbage frequently. Take care to keep the restroom ventilated and dry.

    There are many ways to kill small moths, but the first thing to do is to put it.

    Do a big cleaning of the kitchen hygiene, because the kitchen is damp, and if the moth eggs are not cleaned for only 24 hours, new moths will breed. Mature moths can be removed with commercially available insecticidal water.

    Pest control methods:

    1) The most fundamental method is the rectification of the environment; Moths mainly breed in various types of stagnant water, and the number can be controlled as long as the container is drained, the floor or sink is removed, and the outdoor gutter is kept unblocked.

    2) Removal of adult insects: The use of electric mosquito swatters can effectively remove them. Chemicals can be used with synthetic pyrethroid sprays for general household use.

    3) In inaccessible or difficult to eliminate breeding sources, such as sewage tanks, septic tanks, sanitary low-lying and other places, the application of insect growth regulators will interfere with the hormonal balance in the life history of insects, so that the larvae of insects can not smoothly shed their skin, pupate and emerge.

    4) To kill larvae, you can boil a pot of boiling water, pour some into the floor drain, pour it every other day, and repeat it a few times. If you want to completely eliminate the production of flying insects, it is best to clean the gutter and floor drain regularly, especially pay attention to whether there are gelatinous spoilage in the edge area of the gutter mouth, which is the food of moth midge larvae**. Inspect and thoroughly sweep the bottom floor of counters, stovetops, etc., to remove all food debris.

    Wet rags and mops are also items that flying insects like to lay eggs and hatch, remember to wash and dry them after use, and put them in place.

    Small moths that appear in abundance in the kitchen are usually Indian grain borers.

    Indian grain borer, larvae as a pest of all kinds of grains and processed products, beans, oilseeds, peanuts, all kinds of dried fruits, dried vegetables, milk powder, candied fruits, Chinese medicinal materials, tobacco leaves, etc. Among them, cereals, soybeans, melons, jujubes and cereals were the most affected. The larvae like to feed on the grain germ, which affects the germination rate. Dried fruits and vegetables are eaten into holes and missing carvings, and they are often spun to connect grains and excrements, and form nets to close their surfaces to make them agglomerate and deteriorate.

    Indian grain borer killing method:

    1. Insecticides.

    The adult insect of the Indian grain borer is relatively easy to kill, you can spray insecticide after closing the cupboard door and putting away the kitchen utensils, and then open the window for ventilation after closing the door and window for half an hour.

    2. Find larvae.

    Indian grain borer larvae feed on dried fruits, dried flowers, milk powder, herbs, rice and flour grains, etc., check these items, and discard the larvae in time.

    3. Exposure. Because the larvae of Indian grain borer are light-resistant, if there are a small number of larvae in the grain, the larvae can be removed by exposure.

    4. Freezing. A small amount of grain and other grains with Indian grain borer larvae can be put into a sealed container, such as a plastic bottle, and put in the freezer to freeze for a week to fifteen days to kill the larvae and eggs.

    Characteristics of Indian grain borer hazards:

    The hatched larvae first eat the germ of the grain and then peel off the outer skin. When it is harmful to peanut kernels and corn, it likes to moth into the embryo and lurk in it to eat the damage; In order to harm dried chili peppers, they sneak into the interior and eat, leaving only a transparent outer skin. The larvae often spin silk nets to seal the grain surface, or spin silk to connect the food into small balls and lumps, and hide them on the inner surface to feed.

    At first, it is on the surface and upper part of the grain pile, and then gradually extends to the inside and lower half of the grain pile. The larvae are agile and light-resistant, and will quickly hide when frightened. When there is a lack of food, the larvae kill each other.

    The larvae are 5 to 6 years old, and when they are mature, they mostly leave the victims, climb to the walls, beams, ceilings, and packaging gaps or other hidden places to spin silk and form cocoons and pupate.

    In general, the duration of each insect state: eggs 2 14 days, larvae 22 35 days, pupae 7 14 days, adult lifespan 8 14 days. At 27 30, it takes about 36 days to complete each generation.

    The sudden presence of small moths in the kitchen should be caused by the humid environment.

    Spray insecticide directly on the corner (less clutter in the corner) to clean up all damp items and keep them dry and tidy.

    Wet items should be packed in an airtight box as much as possible, and put them in the refrigerator if they can be put in the refrigerator.

    Don't kill. Just turn off the lights. Don't kill, because moths have an early warning body, that is, when their lives are in danger, they will release a toxic gas to attract some surrounding moth partners to save him, so don't kill them, just turn off the lights and pay attention to closing the windows.

    There are moths in the kitchen, which are generally produced from rice, soybeans, peanuts, etc., stored at home. This moth is called the "wheat moth". Before the crops are harvested, the eggs of the wheat moth attach to them.

    When rice and soybeans are stored in the summer, due to the high temperature and humidity of the air, the eggs begin to hatch into white larvae, and then become moths.

    There are moths in the kitchen, which are generally produced by rice, soybeans, peanuts, etc., stored at home.

    There are two ways in which the wheat moth is produced in the house:

    1. When the crops are not harvested, the eggs of the wheat moth are attached to them. When we buy rice and soybeans and store them in the summer, the eggs begin to hatch into white larvae and then moths due to the high temperature and humidity of the air.

    2. In the cracks of the floor tiles, walls, and rice bags at home, the eggs laid by the wheat moth are hidden, and when the temperature and humidity of the environment are suitable, these insects will hatch out and continue to have children.

    Prevention and control methods: 1. When the weather is fine, often take out rice beans and other grains to dry, destroy the living environment of insect eggs, and kill insect eggs.

    2. Use drug fumigation. However, this method is dangerous and not suitable for home use.

    Indian grain borer, the larvae feed on all kinds of grains and dry goods, which must be mung beans and rice stored in the kitchen

    If you have this bug in some kind of dried food such as fungus, check it carefully to see which food container has this bug, and you can even see a lot of small dotted particles at the bottom of the container, which are larval droppings.

    This moth is not very capable of flying, and the fly swatter waits, and sees one by one. As for the food of the raw worm, dispose of it as appropriate, throw it away if you can, wash and dry it if you can't throw it away.

    Generally speaking, they are all raw worms that eat.

    The moths will reproduce soon after they come out, which is not limited to the inside of the rice noodles.

    At that time, my plush toys had moth-knotted cocoons on them.

    However, if you have cleaned up the rice noodles and cabinets, and controlled the source, it should be gone soon.

    First of all, it is necessary to find the source and clean it thoroughly, and the rice should be sieved and insects picked. Then put peppercorns and other insect proofs. Secondly, against moths only culled at night seven.

    Eight o'clock is when the moths are at their highest, and this is the best time to annihilate. But don't be idle, as long as you find it, you will fight. I use a fly swatter.

    A week has passed, and the moths in my house are basically gone.

    Little moths"In fact, they are non-toxic, they will disappear in a short period of time and do not need to be killed.

    This type of insect generally reproduces when it is a larvae, but does not reproduce when it is an adult, and its life span is very short. The rice leaf rollers that appear in Hefei are all adults, and if the weather is right, they will continue to fly away, while those who stay in the city will die naturally within a week.

    In the septic tank of the sewer, there is a small gray-black fei'e, which will climb up the sewer pipe, and will climb out of the broken place or the floor drain is not tight, and fly up in the bathroom.
