Kozheedy in the apartment: how to get rid of all varieties of the parasite

Hello! I still have very bad memories from the only encounter with a very harmful insect - a skin-eating bug.

After his short but vigorous activity, I had to throw away all the carpets from the apartment and fur things.

For the rest of my life I remembered how to deal with it and preventive measures against the appearance. Want to know how to get rid of a skin-beater in an apartment? How to effectively protect yourself from its potential appearance? In the article below I will describe in detail all my experience in combating this insect.

How to get rid of a skin-beater in an apartment?

Sometimes various insects start up in apartments, which can damage interior items, furniture and clothes. Most often, beetle beetles are found in the home. As a rule, they can be seen in a dry and bright place. This pest can be dangerous even for humans, so you need to know how to get rid of it.

Appearance

This beetle has a brown body length of 3 mm. The insect breeds quite quickly. So, one individual lays at least 20-30 eggs at a time, of which larvae hatch in a month. It is worth noting that they are able to do without food for about 4 years. If there is enough nutrition, the skin-eater will turn into an adult in less than a year.

Pests prefer to eat carpets, fur products, various insect collections, as well as other items made from any natural materials, including wool and leather. The diet provides for fabric things and various crops.

Insect hazard

The taste preferences of the pest explain the fact that you may accidentally notice a skin-eater in the apartment. How to get rid of it is a question that worries many housewives. This is really true, because beetles not only spoil valuable objects, but also pose a danger to pets and people, because they can bite. Serious unpleasant consequences are sometimes possible.

The skin-bearer larvae feed mainly on the remains of animal and plant origin, so they can tolerate various diseases. So, when bitten, people and animals can be infected with at least helminths.

If a bug has bitten you, be sure to treat the damaged areas. For this purpose, hydrogen peroxide is suitable. It is also important to disinfect the wound with alcohol, as the pests can carry truly dangerous infections.

How to get rid of bugs?

Adult individuals and larvae prefer a hidden lifestyle, so it is not easy to get them out of the apartment. It is most effective to control pests in May or in the middle of autumn, since it is during this period that the insect is especially sensitive to chemicals.

Experts recommend taking measures immediately after detecting pests in the apartment, since due to their gluttony and rapid reproduction, many interior items can be damaged.

Unfortunately, the above methods are not always effective, so you should use chemicals.

Boric acid powder destroys adult skin-eaters and its larvae. When working with the substance, protective gloves must be used. Such a drug should be poured into the gap with a brush or broom.

Aqueous suspension allows the processing of solid materials. If it is necessary to eliminate the pest on soft tissues or various fragile structures, then it is necessary to wrap the products in film and place in a glass container with an insecticide.

Hard tablets are placed in wardrobes. It is important to remember that such preparations do not affect the structure of the material, but impregnate it with a pronounced odor. For this reason, allergy sufferers should abandon this option.

Aerosols sometimes help get rid of larvae. In this case, high-quality processing of the entire apartment is performed several times. It is important to remember that about 1 m³ of housing will require approximately half of the large capacity.

To protect things and furniture, you must use a solution of permethrin. Such a substance helps to get rid of a skin-eater and a moth.

It is important to remember that when processing an apartment, it is worth paying attention to the walls, as skin-eaters are also found here.

Effective drugs

People who are desperate to get a skinneur should definitely try Difox. Using this aerosol, treat the affected things, and then put them in a bag, seal it and leave it in a room where the temperature is at least + 14 ° C. After a day, the products are pulled out and ventilated.

Other popular drugs include:

• Desmol;
• Morimol;
• Supronite;
• Mittox;
• Molemor.

Some people prefer repellents, but such compounds will only scare away the bugs, and not destroy them.

In any case, before using various chemicals, it is necessary to carefully examine all things, as well as clean them.

Preventative measures

To prevent skin tear-eaters from wound up in the apartment, it is worthwhile to periodically carry out preventive measures. To do this, twice a year, you need to sort through all the things and clothes that are stored in cabinets. Old items are thrown away so that they do not stick out.

As a preventive measure, the use of special tablets with such odors is allowed:

The beetle beetle can cause enormous damage to property and the apartment itself. Accordingly, it is necessary to process the premises using effective means. It can be special tablets or aerosols. If there are too many pests, you will have to call a disinfection service.

How to get rid of skin-eaters: step-by-step instructions

Sometimes leather-eating beetles settle in the house, which few have heard of. They do harm to the interior items and clothing that are in the house and directly to the owners. Not everyone knows how to get rid of them, but the methods of struggle are quite easy, and if you know them, it will be very simple to drive out the nasty bugs.

Who are skin-eaters and how do they look? The skin-beetle beetle is a small-winged insect about 3 mm in size. They have a brown color, but its shades can, both light and slightly reddish, and dark, down to black.

These insects breed very quickly, so it is necessary to fight them as soon as possible, otherwise they will simply fill the house.

The larvae of these parasites can continue to live without food for 4 years. As soon as they receive the necessary amount of food, they begin their transformation into an adult. Bugs get into the house very simply: in the summer they can fly in through an open window or doors, and at any other time, you can simply bring them with infected things.

The habitats of parasites are various and it is rather difficult to detect them. They love dry and warm places.

Therefore, as a rule, their habitat is:

They can also be found in carpets and zoological collections made from their natural materials. A sure sign that your skin-eaters live is the following:

1. the presence of abrasions on the carpet;
2. minor damage to the upholstery of the sofa and clothes;
3. small pieces of skin that bugs dump;

Ways to fight

It is very important to start the process of getting rid of parasites as soon as you find them at home.

At the same time, it is best to process the house during the period of reproduction of parasites, that is, in May time:

• The very first thing to do is find their habitat. Sills, skirting boards, sofa upholstery and other warm and dark places in the room should be carefully examined. If you find a place for their localization, you can be sure that you will be able to get rid of them 100%.
• You can fight pests with the help of chemicals.
• You can try folk methods. But it should be remembered that folk remedies do not always give results, and it is better to use chemicals.
• And if the infection with parasites is strong, then only specialists can help.

In any case, no matter which method is chosen for pest control, there is one rule, the observance of which will help to achieve greater results and to avoid repopulating them: during the destruction of the skin-eaters, the entire house should be vacuumed several times a day.

Chemicals

Chemical processing of premises is a very effective way to remove unwanted beetles.

There are several types of chemicals that are selected depending on the habitat of the parasites:

Effective remedies

There are a fairly large number of different chemicals that are designed to combat skin eaters.

Difox. This product has a capacity of 50 ml. for the price of 80 p. up to 200 p. You can buy a bottle of 500 ml for 400 - 700 r. Finding it is very easy, but it is important to know how to breed it. To destroy parasites, dilute 2 ml. the drug with 1 liter of water.

Antimole. These are tablets that can be purchased at a cost of 20 r. up to 300 p. The price depends on the number of tablets and additional effects. They need to be laid out in several places around the house in gauze bags, which must be sought separately. They do not act on adults.

Mittox. This is a liquid concentrate that is sprayed in places where parasites are located. Its price is an average of 600 p. 50 ml this product must be mixed with 1 liter. water and then you can disinfect. Ready solution to be stored no more than 5 days.

Molemor. This aerosol has a cost of 50 p. - 100 p. They treat the places of localization of skin-eaters and other surfaces where they could settle. Its action lasts six months.

Boric acid. This tool in the form of powder is the cheapest: 1 package costs from 6 p. up to 100 p. It is odorless and harmless to humans, you just need to pour it in the habitats of parasites.

Folk methods

If there is no need to use strong chemicals, then you can resort to alternative methods of pest control. The following factors are quite effective in combating skin-eaters.

Par. Pest habitats can be steamed, and clothing should be boiled.

Pyrethroid permethrin. In this solution, the wool and fur things in which the beetles live are soaked. This method will help to get rid not only of skin-eaters, but also of other parasites that can settle there.

Before resorting to any serious methods of pest control, you should try to remove them with a vacuum cleaner. But this method does not guarantee that they will not appear again.

Processing Rules

The drugs used to treat the house are very powerful and can harm household members. To avoid possible negative consequences, a number of rules must be observed:

1. All inhabitants of the house, including animals, must leave it at the time of disinfection.
2. When spraying poison, windows and doors should be tightly closed and walls freed of furniture.
3. After finishing the treatment, the one who produced it must also leave the house for several hours.
4. After the house has been disinfected, all rooms must be properly ventilated and cleaned, but only those places that you touch with your hands should be washed so that there are few chemicals left for the larvae that may appear.
5. Reprocessing can be done no earlier than 14 days.

Breeding sequence

It is necessary to display skin eaters with the correct sequence:

Prevention of occurrence

It is possible to avoid the appearance of skin-eaters by taking preventive measures. Kozheyedy will not appear if:

• Do regular cleaning regularly.
• Use mosquito net.
• Do not allow clothes to lie in the closet.
• Put lavender, wormwood, tansy, camphor and tobacco around the house.
• These measures will make you sure that the pests will not choose your home as a habitat and will not spoil your things.

Harm from skin-eaters and danger to humans

Adult parasites practically do not bring much harm, but their larvae - quite the opposite. They eat almost everything and thus spoil clothing and home decoration.

If skin-eaters appeared in the house, then the following is at risk:

In addition, they can easily ruin books by eating glue that glues their bindings.
Bugs with pleasure will eat rubber cables, plastic, cardboard and asbestos.

Skin tanners also pose a threat directly to human health. Since they feed on everything they can eat, often their diet is carrion.

Therefore, beetles become carriers of various diseases:

1. After the bite of this pest, a person can acquire helminths (worms).
2. And larvae can be a hotbed of viral diseases, causing chronic problems, which can only be eliminated by destroying parasites in the house.

But even if the skin-eater does not tolerate any disease, the bite itself is a rather big problem.

The site of the bite of a skin-eater must be treated with hydrogen peroxide and alcohol to prevent possible infections and other unpleasant consequences.

To get rid of parasites quickly and for a long time, you should know a few small tricks:

How to deal with a skin-eater in an apartment

The beetle beetle inhabits a person’s house / apartment, because it finds an inexhaustible source of food in it. Such insects destroy almost everything, since they are omnivorous: food, decoration materials, furniture / wardrobe items.

Before proceeding to the destruction of the skin-eater, it is necessary to make sure that it is this pest that annoys. It is characterized by a number of external signs, a certain way of life.

Appearance and nutrition

Bugs are known not only because of omnivorousness, but also due to their very small size: on average, the length of the body is from 1.3 to 3 mm. Color - brown (from light to dark shades of this color).

The shape of the body is slightly elongated, rounded. Upon closer inspection, villi are noticeable. Reproduction occurs quickly, after a month, skin-bearer larvae appear. In one cycle, the female lays several dozen eggs.

One female reproduces offspring once, in extreme cases - two times. The skin beetle larvae develop for a very long time: from 1 to 4 years, which is affected by the quality and quantity of food.

Eggs are characterized by white color, have an elongated shape. Toward the end of the incubation period, they turn yellow. After emergence from eggs, the skin-bearer larva goes through several stages of molt.

In nature, pests are found in the hollow, bird's nest, in swampy and dry areas. They enter the territory of a person’s housing on clothes, along with things, through a window or door. The boundary value for insects is a temperature value of less than -11 degrees.

The source of food for the skin-eater: carpets, clothes, furniture, interior items, decoration materials, and also vital products. Natural materials prefer pests, however, in the absence of such materials, they also destroy synthetics.

Human Hazard Assessment

Penetrating into the territory of private housing, beetles spread through the rooms and find a source of food for themselves. In this case, almost all property that is in the person’s apartment is at risk.

However, there are other hazards in contact with this pest. Given that they feed on waste, microscopic contaminants remain on the villi, where pathogens accumulate.

Contact with a person increases the likelihood of infection. Moreover, it will be impossible to cure the disease until the time when the skin-eating beetles are in the apartment. There is another danger to humans - painful bites. The reaction depends on the level of body sensitivity.

It can be invisible red dots that remain after contact with the pest, or extensive redness. It should be noted that people are not a source of food for skin-eaters. Insects bite, rather by mistake or feeling threatened.

Pest Management Methods

With a weak infection, a skin-eater can be removed by acting mechanically. You should search the house for egg laying, but there are many likely places. If the skin-beater in the apartment is exposed to cold (temperature -11 or more).

Carpets, fur products are cleaned of bugs with a vacuum cleaner. It is recommended to carry out a general cleaning of the entire apartment. This will help to find and destroy the oviposition, thereby eliminating the risk of an increase in the colony population.

The use of chemicals

Boric acid, concentrated solutions, aerosols, and tablet preparations help get rid of the beetle beetle. Liquid products will help to quickly withdraw. They are used to treat surfaces, and also apply the spray method.

In a short time, an aerosol will give good results. When deciding how to remove beetles using safe methods, it is recommended to consider boric acid powder. However, this option lasts longer.

Concentrated liquids. If leather-eaters are wound up in an apartment, how to get rid of them quickly? Involve concentrates. These are liquids containing a significant dose of insecticide. Poisonous substances are dangerous for people, pets, however, they can effectively deal with bugs. Concentrates are recommended for use at sites with a high level of infection.

The tool treats all surfaces and objects. Most drugs do not leave any marks after application and spraying, but if there is any doubt when using an insecticide on a valuable item, you can wrap it with polyethylene, setting up a container with poison and tightly closing the film. The duration of exposure to the chemical is at least 2 hours.

The main advantage of such funds is the residual effect (1 month). Popular drugs: Executioner, Tetrix.

Aerosols. These substances do not affect eggs. The principle of action of aerosols is similar to how the concentrate acts, however, in this case, the substance contains a lower dose of insecticide.

The main plus is convenient use. After several weeks, surface reprocessing is performed, since larvae may appear from the eggs during this time. Popular drugs: Karbofos, Dichlorvos, Clean House, Raid, Raptor.

Tablets. When deciding how to get rid of the skin-beetle bugs, they use moth control products, for example, Antimol. However, this method is more suitable for killing larvae, as they feed on solid foods. An adult prefers a liquid-structured food source.

For this reason, tablets are usually used in conjunction with other agents. It is necessary to take into account the strong smell that they exude, since there is a risk that furniture and clothes are saturated with this aroma.

Actions when breeding beetles

First, the room is prepared for processing: furniture is advanced to the center of the room, all corners are freed. Then, with closed doors and windows, the active substance is sprayed / applied.

Then the contact surfaces are wiped to avoid poisoning when they come into contact with them at home. Reprocessing is performed after a few weeks.

Prevention

To prevent any of the representatives of various types of bugs (Smirnov’s skin-eater, ham, carpet, spotted) from appearing at home anymore, use repellent tablets. They emit a specific smell: lavender, wormwood, tansy, tobacco or camphor.

Having found a bite of a skin-eater or the bug itself on the body, it is recommended to proceed to the exposure with more serious methods.

Beetle Beetles

The appearance of black bugs in the apartment can provoke open windows in hot summers. And they can cause the appearance of annoying pests called skin-eaters.

It’s easy to bring a skinne into the house, but getting rid of the skinneers yourself is very difficult. Only timely extermination and preventive pest control can save you from the presence of the pest in the house.

Harm from skin experts

You can quite by chance see this bug in your apartment. Kozheedy not only spoil various valuable objects. They bite! Therefore, they pose a great danger to people and animals. Sometimes quite serious consequences of their bites are possible.

The beetle larvae can taste the remains of plants and animals in connection with which they can tolerate a variety of ailments. Since the skin tear bee has been in a larval state for a very long time, it is able to spread various viruses to large areas, and infection occurs constantly.

The bite of a skinneater is considered extremely painful.Depending on the level of sensitivity of a person, his reaction can be quite different.

Some have small dots on the skin, while others have large spots. In the event that you have been bitten by a skin-eater, treat all damaged areas of the skin without fail. Hydrogen peroxide is quite suitable. It is also very important to disinfect the wound with alcohol, as these pests can infect a person with dangerous diseases.

These insects damage almost everything they see (carpets, wool products, cloth and fur, as well as books). You can not give bugs the opportunity to breed in the apartment, otherwise they will spread throughout the house. If the kojeder gets to the warehouse, he will gladly begin to eat various food products there.

The penetration of these pests to expensive museum exhibits or private collections always ends in failure because of their ability to eat such things. Kozheedy - this is a real curse of museums, and therefore they need to be destroyed quickly and decisively.

At home, you may encounter a pest in an ordinary jar of flour. The habitat of the skin-beetle beetles is very extensive. They can be found everywhere except the tundra. The most massive populations inhabit areas with hot, dry climates.

The skin-beetle beetles are very dry-loving. Therefore, in natural conditions, their habitats become bird nests, burrows of field mice and ferrets, as well as mummified corpses of animals. There are several varieties of skin eater, the main ones are:

What is dangerous for people

Once in a person’s home, skin-eating beetles become dangerous to human health. Eating carrion or waste in landfills, insects carry various infections, including helminth eggs. In addition, they bite quite painfully.

Both homeowners and their pets can be attacked. These little bugs not only infect food with parasites and infections, but also spoil furniture, carpets, furs, woolen and silk clothes in search of food.

What does a leather-eater look like? The body of the beetles can be round, oval or elongated about 12 mm long and about 5 mm wide. Larvae have a hard cover. Their body is covered with protruding long hairs, sometimes a large bundle of hairs can form a kind of “tail”. The size of the larva is from 1.5 mm to 12 mm in length and from 0.5 mm to 5 mm in width.

How does the development of skin eaters occur. Larva. Kozheyedov (females) can lay eggs on the surface of materials, or in the crevices of furniture, walls, etc. The period of emergence of a new population is, depending on the temperature of the environment, from 2 to 55 days. Shedding of larvae of skin-eaters occurs with an interval of 5-9 days about 5-7 times.

Before the pupation stage, the larvae can gnaw passages in a substrate 5-10 cm long. The pupal stage lasts from 4 to 20 days. In the natural habitat, pests give one generation, but, in heated rooms, the beetle beetle can give four generations per year.

In enterprises where animal products are processed, pests can even damage walls.

Recognize Pest

The skin-beetle beetle is a small insect that reaches a maximum length of 0.5 centimeters. It has a convex back and a flat abdomen. In nature, these creatures are not parasites, harmful qualities are manifested when they enter the human home. If this uninvited guest or his larvae is found in the house, then measures to destroy the pest should be taken immediately.

Breeding. Most species of these insects produce offspring only once, only in some species there are offspring twice. The cycle from the larva to the formation of an adult lasts from several months to two years.

The female simultaneously lays from a dozen to several hundred eggs. Eggs are oblong in shape, the color of the larvae is initially white, but as they mature, they begin to turn yellow. The hatched larva is a worm covered with villi. Bundles of hairs on the back form a peculiar tail. In appearance, the larva of the skin-beetle beetle is similar to a silverfish, only much smaller.

The role of the skin-beetle beetle in nature. In nature, these insects perform the function of orderlies. Feeding on the remains of animal and bird corpses that other animals and flies have not eaten, as well as food debris, the skin-beetle beetles rid the fields and forests of carcasses. The corpses of birds and animals are not only the diet of these insects, but also a breeding ground.

Skin-beetle beetles are able to completely cleanse bones of soft tissues, and this quality is used by people. For example, employees of the Darwin Center at the London Museum using these insects clean bones obtained as a result of archaeological excavations of historical value.

The following species of skin-beetle beetles most often make their way into a dwelling:

• Carpet leather-eater of dark brown or black color, ranging in size from 2.5 to 5.5 mm. It feeds on wool, fur, feathers and skin. It can eat flour products and other plant foods.
• Ham skin-eater of black color with yellowish spots. It has larger sizes, can reach almost one centimeter. Larvae devour any plant food. Before they pupate, they bite into a wooden or any other accessible surface, causing damage to the furniture.
• The spotted leather-eater is brown in color and is approximately the same size as ham. The diet is similar with other types of skin eaters.
• Kozheed Smirnova - small bugs (2-3.5 mm) of brown color. Adult individuals do not feed at all; they live off the stocks accumulated by the larvae. Therefore, the larvae of this bug are especially dangerous.

How to get rid

Sometimes different insects suddenly start in apartments, which can damage interior items, things and clothes. Most often in the dwelling today there are so-called beetle eaters. You will notice them in a bright and dry place. The insect can be dangerous for homeowners, so you need to know how to get rid of the beetle bug.

The simplest way to get rid of these insects is a mechanical method. It is about using a conventional vacuum cleaner. Contaminated items are often frozen. Of course, this is true in the winter season, when wool or leather products can be brought to the balcony.

Alas, the methods mentioned above are not always effective. Thus, if you do not know how to get rid of the skin-beetle bug, you should use special substances.

By means of boric acid powder, adult skin-eaters, as well as their larvae, are killed. When working with this dangerous substance, special gloves must be used.This drug must be poured into the crevices with a regular broom or a small brush.

Hard tablets are usually placed in cabinets. It is very important to remember that such products will not affect the material itself, but it will be thoroughly saturated with its smell. Thus, allergy sufferers should abandon this option.

Special aerosols help get rid of vile beetle larvae. In this case, the full processing of the entire house is done several times. It is important to remember that for 1 m ³ of housing, approximately half of the large capacity will be needed.

In order to protect furniture and various things, you need to use a solution of permethrin. This substance will help get rid of your unpleasant roommates. It is important to remember that when processing housing, attention should be paid to the walls, as there are also skin-eaters.

All those who are disturbed by the presence of the beetle in the apartment must definitely buy Difox. Using this aerosol, you can treat things affected by the pest, and then put them in a bag, stick it on and leave it in a room in which the air temperature is at least 14 ° C. After a day, all products are pulled out and well ventilated.

The substance is placed on various damaged items. It should be borne in mind that the smell of the tablet is absorbed into the clothes, so this method is not suitable for allergy sufferers.

Ways to fight

Fighting a skin-beetle bug is not an easy task. The main problem is that the human home has the most favorable conditions for the reproduction of this insect. Having penetrated into the room, the leather-eater settles in sofas, under carpets, in mattresses, in folds of clothes and other hard-to-reach places.

The main thing for them is that the place is dry and preferably dark. The detection and destruction of the nest of beetles is a key moment in the fight against the pest.

So, let us dwell on the basic methods of struggle. These include:

1. Special aerosols. They process plinths, corners and crevices. For the fight, it is quite possible to use ordinary dichlorvos.
2. Freezing. The skin-beetle beetle dies at minus 10-12 degrees. Carpets and clothes should be kept in the cold for at least 3 hours. The procedures are best repeated several times. The temperature difference allows you to achieve maximum effect.

How to get rid of the skin-beetle bug folk remedies? For example, the use of boric acid, which is harmful to skin-eating beetles, is suitable. In the room, baits with acid are laid out, which periodically need to be changed. You can just pour boric acid into crevices and inaccessible places.

But it is worth noting that such a method is not always effective and can be dangerous for small children and animals in the house.

Bringing out the beetle on its own is almost impossible. If the population of insects has increased significantly, then it is advisable to call specialists and carry out sanitary treatment of the premises.

Skin-beetle bugs do not tolerate moisture, so regular wet cleaning will help not to exterminate, but reduce the number of these harmful insects.

In practice, several methods of control are used, for example, freezing at a temperature of -15 ° С - 20 ° С for 10-15 hours with alternating low and high temperatures.

But, not all skin-eaters succumb to this method, but only their southern species. A good result can be obtained by warming up to 80 ° C of the infected material in special heat chambers for 2 hours.This method is applied to materials that are not damaged by high temperatures.

The most reliable results are obtained by extermination and prophylactic pest control from skin eater in residential buildings and at enterprises produced by highly qualified specialists. Experts of our company say such a treatment.

Professional destruction

The elimination of skin-eaters requires a professional approach: destructive means, special equipment, special skills and knowledge.

Specialists will solve your problem in the shortest possible time. They will do the treatment from skin-eaters using absolutely safe means for people or animals, protecting your property for a long time.

Where did the skin-beetle bug come from in the apartment and how to deal with it?

The family of these beetles has about 600 species, most of them are similar in appearance, but there are only seven serious pests.

1. A ham skin-eater easily enters the shelter and immediately lays a huge number of eggs. Beetle with a black oblong torso; wings are painted yellowish-gray.
2. Carpet beetle includes several more subspecies. A small (3 mm) cinnamon insect. The danger is represented by larvae that feed on small particles of organic debris, adult bugs spend the subcutaneous fat layer.
3. Fur coat skin eater is the most harmless of all species. It feeds on food. The beetle is black, on the back there are 5 white dots.
4. The house and museum beetle practically does not live in the room. Live in mock-ups, plants, and books.
5. Kozheed Smirnova lives in window openings or window sills. It has a brown color, size 3 mm.
6. Kozheed Frisha damages products of animal origin, grain products, rarely cocoa beans and flour products. Caterpillars and bugs harm. The dwelling practically does not live.
7. Flower bee-eater feeds on pollen.

Reasons for the appearance

There is an opinion that insects appear in poorly cleaned dwellings. But a skinneer does not fit this rule. So where do they come from?

Kozheedy can crawl from their neighbors through open windows or doors, pets bring them from the street.

Where dwells

The habitat of insects in the home is warm, dry places - mattresses, near batteries, sofas, window frames, old clothes, carpets, cereals.

To detect them, you must carefully inspect the upholstery of upholstered furniture. For laying eggs, skin-eaters choose hard-to-reach places - under the baseboard, under the wallpaper, window openings, window sills, flower pots, plafonds.

Attention: initially it may seem that there are very few bugs, but most of them are hidden - larvae that damage property. And until they find their place of localization, it will be impossible to get them out!

What do larvae and bugs eat?

Given the taste preferences of the pest, it can be discovered by chance in the home.

First of all, these insects destroy products of animal origin - from fluff, fur, leather, felt, silk ... They will not refuse from edible supplies - dried meat or fish, dairy products, cereals.

Pest insects especially like old books with glue binding, in advanced situations beetles harm cables and wires, furniture (especially upholstery), picture frames, wallpaper, parquet.

Given that parasites feed on plant or animal waste, they are carriers of various diseases. When bitten by a bug, you can catch at least worms.

The larval stage passes a long period, and therefore viruses spread over long distances.

The bite of a skin-eater is painful, and manifests itself in different ways, up to an allergic reaction. The wound must be immediately treated and disinfected.

How to fight

Parasites lead a hidden lifestyle and therefore it is difficult to destroy them. The most effective fight will be in May or from mid-autumn - at this time beetles are most sensitive to any substances. It is necessary to take measures immediately after the detection of parasites, given their breeding rate, most items of the apartment may be damaged.

Not always the above methods are effective, and then resort to chemical agents.

Boric acid powder fights eggs and adults. When using personal protective equipment. The powder is poured into the cracks. Aqueous suspension treat hard surfaces. Small fragile products are placed in a container with a solution.

Various aerosols fight excellently against larvae, but in this case, high-quality processing must be carried out several times. About half a large capacity is required per square meter of space.

Permethrin solution works perfectly to protect furniture and things - it is also effective against moths. When processing the room, special attention must be paid to the walls.

When using Antimol-contact tablets, the effect is noticeable after two weeks. Hard tablets are placed in closets with clothes. But it must be remembered that matter acquires a specific smell - allergy sufferers need to abandon this method.

The following chemicals have a good effect - morimol, supronite, mittox, molemor. Many people like aerosols, but they are good as a preventative.

Before using any products, they must be carefully inspected and cleaned!

How to get rid of a skin-beetle beetle in an apartment with folk remedies? Pests do not like the smells of the following plants - lemon balm, lavender, tansy. To eliminate parasites, it is necessary to decompose dry herbs or use their aromatic oils.

They use concentrated drugs and methods that are aimed at eliminating adults and larvae at the same time!

How to prevent occurrence

It must be remembered that if you use various means for pest control, then you need to carefully ventilate the room. But it is better to carry out regular preventive measures and prevent the occurrence of a parasite.
