In recent months Entostudio involved Germana Busca - alias @mamma_gy and Dr. Andrea Drago - entomologist to talk about the insects that could inhabit our homes to find out more about life and prevention practices. But before we get to the heart of the research, let's get to know these guests a little better and why ultrasonic bug repeller can be one of the best approaches to deal with household bugs

Germana is the mother of a family, musician, and teacher and curates the blog "Le Ricette di Mamma_gy", a digital project born from the great passion for cooking that has always accompanied her since she was a child, now an expert in the sector and well-known food blogger as well as web content creator.

Andrea is one of the founders of the Entostudio entomological consultancy laboratory in Padua and a reference figure in the sector.

To find out about the curiosities of our common public, Entostudio involved the followers of Germana and those of the Clean & Happy account asking them to send the most lively curiosities about the world of insects to later submit them to the expert Dr. Andrea Drago.

What did Entostudio discover from this interesting exchange of opinions and expertise? We tell you right away!

Mosquitoes
Prevention begins in spring, when the insects are still in a larval state, paying attention not to keep containers with stagnant water inside them, an ideal place to house the eggs of the annoying insect, to combat the tiger mosquitoes that proliferate in the garden, the plants must be treated with special insecticidal products. Nocturnal mosquitoes can be effectively removed by resorting to repellent active ingredients, such as those contained in coils and electric insecticides.

the best prevention is not to leave food lying around that could attract them;
insecticides are not very effective because they can recalculate the routes to get around obstacles to counteract the nesting of ants on polyurethane surfaces, gel baits are particularly recommended, which are transported inside the nest by the insects themselves and gradually eradicate them

Flies
This classification includes flies with metallic reflections (which develop on the decaying matter), small flies (some of these can transmit diseases), and gadflies (which sting extremely painfully) to ward off biting flies, skin repellents such as those used for mosquitoes can be used against house flies slow-release insecticides can be used but not in environments where people live, always pay attention to the indications on the labels.

Pantry Insects
The main ones are the butterflies that feed on every type of food substance, which in the larval state often leave behind silky filaments erroneously attributed to spiders;
Hermetic glass or plastic containers allow for properly preserving open foods from the presence of insects in their various evolutionary stages; the possible ingestion of food containing eggs or larvae does not involve any kind of physical problem.

Bed Bugs And Moths
stinking bugs in autumn are attracted by the heat of domestic environments, and can be attracted by using cardboard boxes from folded packaging and placed on the windowsill, thus significantly reducing the number of those entering the house;
bed bugs nest in small crevices near the beds and then go out during the night to suck blood through bites which, however, do not transmit diseases;
moths, on the other hand, are butterflies whose larvae feed on fabrics with wool components and can be removed by applying repellent substances on clothes or in wardrobes.

Cockroaches, Ticks, And Mites

Among the most common species, we have the Germanic Blattella, which can enter our homes through shopping and which leaves excrements similar to coffee dust in the pantry; the oriental cockroach, the common black cockroach, which comes from the sewers and can transmit bacterial diseases. As a result, it is important to know how to get rid of cockroaches fast. Ticks are not insects but mites (as they have 8 legs) they attack animals and humans to feed on blood, transmitting even serious diseases, and must be removed with tweezers, taking care not to leave the rostrum stuck in the skin; mites accumulate in particularly humid areas where dust accumulates, therefore it is sufficient to vacuum them to eliminate them.

Cricket
The largest and most diverse group of animals in the world is that of insects, with more than one million known species and it is estimated that there are thirty million undescribed species, so they can represent more than 90% of life forms in the world. planet.

Within the animal kingdom, insects would make up the class Insecta , according to the taxonomic classification. As we have said, within insects there is great diversity, being very intuitive to distinguish different types of insects, such as a fly and a beetle, despite all the common characteristics they have. Due to this great variability, insects are classified into different groups, called orders, having similar characteristics within the same order.

Within the classification that we spoke about earlier, the crickets would belong to the order of Orthoptera, gathering similar characteristics as we said.

Orthoptera, and therefore crickets, belong to the type of insects that carry out a simple or incomplete metamorphosis and undergo a series of molts until they reach their adult stage, this number being variable depending on the species. Also depending on the species, the biological cycle has a different duration

Millipedes
Millipedes can be confused with centipedes- due to the flattened shape - but they are slightly longer and have more legs. They move slowly and feed on dead leaves, wood, and rotten vegetables. They live mainly outside, during the day hidden under some stones or inside the bark of trees, while at night they roam the garden.

They love humid environments and feed on insects: this is why they are very popular for their function as natural pesticides! It is quite normal to find them - as well as in the garden - in humid areas such as under stairs, cellars and garages, but their presence in domestic environments is not very appreciated by everyone! So let's see how to eliminate the millipedes in the house and avoid their reappearance forever.

Scorpions
Scorpions are solitary and nocturnal. They love to be in the dark, away from noise and light. During the day, they stay hidden, and, at night, they hunt for water and food. They feed on invertebrates such as mosquitoes, spiders, ants, flies, and other scorpions. Cases of cannibalism are not rare.

During the day, they burrow into the cracks in the walls, wood sheds, ravines, and under the stones. They show a very shy attitude, they certainly prefer to escape to attack.

They mate in spring and summer, and the female can give birth to 5 to 30 young at a time. After a long gestation (from 7 to 13 months), the young are born already formed and will undergo molts until sexual maturity (1-2 years).

Scorpions prefer humid, warm, dark, and hidden places, especially very humid mountain areas with the presence of waterways. They do not disdain the humid and warm country houses, the suburban houses, the houses of the historic centers, and their ideal environments are bathrooms and showers, cellars, wood sheds, cracks and crevices, and skirting boards.

They fear dry places because they tend to dehydrate and risk dying. They do not fear the cold, they can withstand low temperatures.

These arachnids also seek refuge in shoes and linens, so shake them carefully before using them.

Eliminate Household Bugs With Electronic Device

There are many household bugs and invasions of each of the above-mentioned bugs can charter your apartment, while some of them like the Scorpion invasion can even put your entire family members in danger. If you want to rest your mind always, get an electronic bug repellent that has a long-time service and is very good at driving out any unwanted household bugs from your apartment without any harmful effects on you and your family.
