If you encounter mosquitoes in your kitchen, especially near fruits, know that this is not an accident. You may not even know how these uninvited guests entered your home. Here’s what you need to know: These tiny bugs may have infested your apartment for a long time. Drosophila, as these mosquitoes are called, prefers to hide in secluded and humid places. They appear quickly in the presence of rotten fruit, spilled juice or milk.
Where do the first fruit flies in your house come from?
Surprisingly, these microscopic creatures easily enter homes through open windows or vents.
Do you think you have closed all possible entrances to these insects? However, fruit flies can enter your home using a sneaky method. They leave eggs on the products of a store or warehouse, acting as a Trojan horse. These eggs, only half a millimeter in size, cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is worth considering that even thorough washing of the fruits sometimes does not help, as there may be eggs in the flesh or there may already be larvae inside the fruit.
Houseplants can also become a source of fruit flies. In nature they prefer to live in moist soils rich in humus. By buying soil from a manufacturer who neglected the calcination procedure, you risk attracting these insects.
One female fly pregnant with the fruit is enough to cause a real apocalypse in your home, because it is capable of laying up to 2000 eggs. To avoid the massive appearance of mosquitoes, eliminate spoiled food and garbage as soon as possible. Therefore, the only thing that will flash before your eyes will be funny videos and articles, and not annoying mosquitoes.
