How to remove maggots from the toilet. Toilet fly: ways to combat it

What is maggot

The bait is a blowfly larva with a dense, leathery covering, which allows it to move unhindered and exist in a fairly aggressive environment.
If this cover is broken, the maggot as bait loses its value; it simply “flows out” and turns into something like a translucent “stocking”. It is important not to damage this dense shell. A correctly installed larva remains mobile longer and maintains its integrity even after repeated use. The head of the bait has a pointed shape, its tip is dark in color. Its back part, on the contrary, is blunt, and at the end there are two small black dots. The length of the larvae does not exceed 4-12 mm. They appear from eggs laid by bluish-green flies on pieces of meat or fish.

When in comfortable living conditions, blowfly larvae can remain at this stage of development for 10-14 days, then the pupation period begins. If you keep the bait in the refrigerator, its shelf life is extended to six months.

Description and appearance of midges

Small (less than 2 mm in size) flies are black in color. The leaf-shaped body and wings are covered with hairs, which makes the insects look like moths. In adults, long antennae can be seen on the head.

Butterfly midges fly poorly and move indoors by crawling. They become active in the evening. During the day, sitting on the walls, they try to remain invisible.

The life cycle of sewer midges is short - only 2 weeks. Half of this time is devoted to the development of larvae, and this happens in septic tanks and drainpipes. This is where the caterpillars pupate, wrapping themselves in a thin film. The stage of transition into an adult takes from 20 to 40 hours.

Reasons for the appearance of midges in the bathroom

Where it is humid, it is comfortable for small midges. There are places in the apartment where there are the most favorable conditions conducive to the appearance of these insects. Butterflies can settle in the toilet and kitchen.

Important! Most often, midges live in the bathroom, where unsanitary conditions “reign” - order is rarely restored, and the pet’s toilet does not take a long time to be cleaned.

It's not just humidity that attracts insects. They are sensitive to the smell of decaying food. If there are midges in the house, the reason should also be sought in the following:

sewerage blockages and leaks;
rotting food debris accidentally falling into the drain;
trash cans that are not emptied regularly;
unfavorable neighborhood.

Midges can live in flower pots if you keep them in the bathroom. This often provokes the development of fungal diseases in houseplants.

How do sewer flies appear in an apartment?

It is difficult to determine where midges may come from in the bathroom. Butterflies do not have to enter homes through sewer pipes. They can fly into a door or window, and mosquito nets for small insects are no obstacle to them. They can be brought into the house by a person on his clothes or food.

It is enough for a midge to appear in one apartment, and insects will appear through ventilation shafts and communications in the bathroom or kitchen of the neighbors. Risk factors also include damp basements, garbage chutes, waste collection tanks located close to the house, and even flowering trees that attract midges with their aroma.

No matter how the butterfly gets into the apartment, it will quickly orient itself in the environment and find acceptable living conditions in the bathroom, kitchen or toilet.

Why do flies appear in the toilet?

Life Cycle of a Fly
The toilet attracts flies with odors and wet excrement. There they can lay eggs, and a lot of them. This is their breeding ground, so getting rid of them in this case is very difficult.

It is for this reason that flies prefer to live near cesspools and outdoor toilets in the country or on private property.

If the toilet is not located correctly or is poorly ventilated, then you should expect an invasion of these “annoyers”.

Benefits and harms

Unlike other flies, the butterfly does not feed on blood and does not attack humans. The only danger is the spread of bacteria carried on the paws. A fly can land on food, infecting it with viruses or helminths.

The butterfly is food for large flies and spiders. Therefore, when a pest appears, a “menagerie” of insects will appear in the apartment. To avoid ending up in the hospital with an infection, it is necessary to get rid of sewer pests in a timely manner.

Despite the harm they cause, butterflies also bring benefits. Their larvae feed on sediment accumulated in sewer pipes and drains.

Why are toilet flies dangerous?

Flies become the main carriers of infection, germs and parasites in summer. Active insects manage to fly vast distances during their short one-day life. Each adult manages to lay at least a hundred eggs, which in a couple of weeks will turn into adult insects.

While developing and laying offspring in waste and the contents of cesspools, they simultaneously collect a mass of helminth eggs and insect larvae on their paws. Flies spread all this to food and things necessary for humans.

How to get rid of maggots in a country toilet

Maggots themselves are harmless creatures. But the flies that appear from them are very annoying and unpleasant creatures. The surface of their paws is covered with small hairs, onto which parasite eggs and pathogenic bacteria cling.

Flies fly everywhere, including in human homes, landing on kitchen utensils and directly on the food itself. Anything that previously stuck to the insect’s legs can easily enter the human body and cause disease. That is, flies are malicious carriers of infections. Therefore, it is better to try to destroy them in advance.

Attention! Fighting flies and their larvae is quite difficult and no product can give a 100% guarantee.

Their chemicals are suitable:

Bleaching. This substance is very toxic. Capable of destroying larvae and driving away adults. Dry bleach is poured directly into the cesspool. A significant drawback is that the smell is too strong and toxic.
Aerosols. Special chemical compounds that are sprayed indoors. After treatment, the toilet must be closed for several days.

Chemical insect control agents can be dangerous to humans

Insecticidal powders, which can be purchased in specialty stores. They are poured into the pit itself and scattered around it.

Attention! The use of chemicals can cause great harm to human health.

Biological drugs. These are special liquids or powders that are bacteria of a certain type. Such products are added directly to the waste pit and quickly decompose it into water and inorganic substances. Accordingly, flies stop laying eggs in such an environment that is unsuitable for them. A very big advantage of such drugs is their absolute harmlessness. To this you can add the elimination of “toilet” odors.

Physical means of struggle. These include sticky tapes that can be hung in the toilet, sealing all cracks, and installing mosquito nets. The “seat” itself in the street house should be tightly closed with a lid. All these measures will become a significant barrier to the penetration of flies into the toilet and, accordingly, they will not be able to lay eggs there. You can try pouring boiling water over the maggots in the pit. This will kill them instantly. In this case, no harm will be caused to the environment.

About the dangers of flies

Fly repellent

Flies are annoying and very unpleasant. In addition, they can carry various diseases, including dysentery and even cholera. They fly everywhere, land on excrement, garbage, and various dirty surfaces. The legs of flies are covered with small hairs, onto which dirt, parasite eggs, and bacteria cling. And the fly flies everywhere into the premises, lands on food, people, dishes, leaving everything that has stuck to it.

flies

Appearing in early spring, they lay eggs in moist organic matter: manure, rot, excrement. Then these eggs hatch into larvae called maggots. And flies hatch from the cocoons of maggots.

Flies live for only a month, but during this time each of them manages to lay about 2000 eggs. This is their reproduction rate. All summer these insects buzz around, spreading diseases.

How to get rid of midges in the toilet

Who would argue, sewerage is a great benefit and convenience. But today we will talk about the dangers that contaminated sewer pipes pose in places where sewer cleaning has not been carried out for a long time. Let's talk about such an unpleasant neighborhood as sewer flies (they are also called drain flies). Publications that these cute little animals, along with giant cockroaches and rats, have densely settled in the sewers of China and Thailand, are of little consolation. If only because we don’t live in Thailand...

Sewer flies

You can distinguish a sewer fly from a fruit fly by their, so to speak, preferences. The fruit fly is tempted by the smells of leftover food, fruits (especially fermented ones), and juices. The sewer fly loves moist places and drain holes. Especially if there is a tempting smell coming from there. The danger of these insects is that a person can accidentally inhale them along with the air. Therefore, it is imperative to get rid of them.

If you get down to business correctly and choose effective preventive measures, then you can get rid of such an unpleasant neighborhood quite quickly. What do these malicious insects look like? The size of the sewer fly is less than 2 mm, the body is fleecy, which is why it looks “fluffy”. The wings of adults are leaf-shaped. An insect can be recognized both by its appearance and by its behavioral characteristics. Their peak activity occurs in the evening. During the daytime, drain flies are not particularly active and settle on the walls. These insects do not fly very well, so they settle in houses closer to humans.

The lifespan of such flies is short: only weeks. The fly lays its larvae in a septic tank or drainpipe. It is in the sewer that the fly goes through the larval and pupa stages. An adult insect is unusually fertile, laying from 30 to 100 eggs at a time.

What is their danger?

Human infection occurs through food. Insects land on food. The risk is especially great if the sink and table are located nearby. While in an infected area, flies carry a huge number of harmful microorganisms on their legs. It can also be ordinary particles of dirt, which is not very pleasant.

Toilet fly: ways to combat it

With the onset of the warm season, owners of suburban areas begin to have problems with flies, especially in toilets, which attract insects with wet excrement and odors. This is a favorable environment for their reproduction.

If flies and their larvae are not destroyed in time, offspring will appear in the future and the situation will worsen. To combat them in country and street toilets, you can use electrical devices, folk and chemical means.

Fighting toilet flies

How to get rid of flies in a country toilet

A simple toilet design in a suburban area is where a cesspool is used as a reservoir. To prevent unpleasant odors that attract flies from emanating from the building, you need to remove the ventilation pipe from the cesspool to the roof of the toilet.

It can be installed without bringing it inside the room, so that all fumes escape beyond its boundaries.

It is also necessary to use special preparations and septic tanks, then the sewage will decompose directly in the pit itself, and the release of unpleasant odors will stop, which will help reduce the number of flying insects.

Ways to get rid of flies in country toilets:

Tomato tops. It must be thrown into a cesspool. At the same time, unpleasant odors in the toilet will disappear and the number of flies will be significantly reduced. This result can be achieved due to the fact that the tomato tops themselves are poisonous. During decomposition, substances are released from it that kill larvae and adult flies. During the process of rotting, the tops absorb excess ammonia, which, as a rule, is the cause of the unpleasant odor in the country toilet.
Preparation Master 250. The product effectively destroys flies indoors, and after a while they disappear altogether. The surface of the building is irrigated with the solution.
Biological products. Their use is relevant for cesspools and toilets installed on private plots. They allow the excrement contained in them to be converted into inorganic substances in a short time. This category includes the following products: Waste Treat, Septifos Vigor and others. These drugs are safe for plant crops growing nearby in the garden.
Biotel product in granules. It reduces the contents of cesspools by 1.5-2 times, repels flies, and prevents unpleasant odors from spreading. The method of using the Biotel product is to sprinkle 3-5 g of fecal matter after each hike or 5-7 g once a day.
Drug Get. To exterminate flies, the outer walls of the room are irrigated with a water suspension. It is worth considering that the product is toxic to fish and bees.

Peat dry toilets

Currently, in dachas, dry toilets using peat composting raw materials are increasingly being installed, as they have a number of advantages: complete autonomy, compact size, light weight, and they do not contain liquid to flush because they are dry. Human excrement is decomposed by bacteria contained in peat.

Peat toilet

This toilet can be installed outdoors and indoors. This is a real salvation for those who have not yet equipped a cesspool, or there is no room for it. If you follow the instructions for use, the dry closet will absorb unpleasant odors, and accordingly, flies will not gather around it.

How to get rid of flies in an outdoor toilet

Many methods and means have been developed to get rid of flies in outdoor toilets.

Seven popular methods of controlling flying insects:

Duct tape. The trap attracts flies with the substance with which its surface is treated. When insects land on the sticky tape, they immediately stick to it and can no longer escape. It helps physically reduce the number of flies. The advantages of the trap are its compact size, so you can hang several pieces at the same time, low cost, and you can also make it yourself at home. The disadvantages of adhesive tape are that over time it runs out and you need to hang a new one.
Electric fumigators. The devices operate on a 220 V network. It is difficult to install an outlet in the toilet, but it is possible. The operating principle of the devices is that the working surface heats a special plate impregnated with toxic substances, as a result they evaporate into the air and kill flies.
Aerosols. The products help fight flying, and some models, crawling insects. They need to be sprayed in places where flies congregate. After some time, all that remains is to remove the dead individuals.
Saccharin and Hexachlorane. Flies do not like these products. To scare them away, you need to treat the walls of your country toilet with a solution of saccharin. Hexachlorane is applied in the same way.
Homemade baits. Near the building you need to place plates with the following mixture: ground black pepper, formaldehyde and sugar, which can be replaced with some other sweet ingredient. If insects try the poison, they will quickly die.
Mosquito net. As practice has shown, they are successfully used in private houses and apartments to prevent flies. They can also be installed in toilets. This is a reliable barrier that prevents flying insects from entering the room. They can penetrate it only at moments when a person himself opens the partition to enter and exit.
Plant crops. Flies do not like the smells of tansy, bay leaf, basil, lavender, rosemary.

Sticky tapes for flies Fumigators under fly plates Anti-fly aerosol Saccharin for flies Homemade fly trap Mosquito net for flies Tansy for flies

How to fight correctly

If you find even a small number of midges, you should immediately begin a thorough cleaning of the bathroom - they appeared for a reason. You should start with a shelf or cabinet - go through all the hygiene products, get rid of expired and spoiled ones. Their smell can attract insects.

If there is a toilet in the bathroom for pets - dogs or cats, you need to look after it especially carefully. Timely cleaning, frequent filling of the tray, washing with special products will remove the unpleasant odor.

Order and cleanliness

The trash can also needs to be cleaned more often. If this happens less than twice a week, midges will definitely become an addition to toilet paper. After throwing out garbage, be sure to rinse the bucket with clean water. Don’t forget about cleaning the sewer pipes - pour chlorine into the opening of the washbasin and toilet.

Midges do not like chlorine products. Treat all hard-to-reach areas with this preparation (loose or in gel form). You can speed up the process by carrying out additional treatment in the bathroom with an aerosol against domestic insects. After a few hours, ventilate the room and thoroughly wipe all surfaces.

Maggots are fly larvae that are quite difficult to get rid of. If they have infested your home, your trash can is infested with them, or you have somehow contracted a parasitic disease (myiasis) from these insects, you need to know how to control these pests.

House flies and house flies are one of the most annoying and harmful winged insects. They prefer to live in close proximity to humans.

Thanks to their short life cycle, they actively reproduce and leave behind huge offspring.

Traditional methods

Home remedies for cockroaches

Folk remedies allow you to get rid of midges in the bathroom quickly, effectively and completely safe for the human body. One of the most popular remedies is apple cider vinegar.

Add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and a little vegetable oil to half a glass of plain water. Place small containers with this drug in the bathroom or toilet. The midges land on the fragrant liquid, but can no longer take off - their wings stick to the surface.

Another great remedy is camphor. Grind it, in an old unusable frying pan, bring it to a state where steam begins to emit. Place the container in the bathroom and close the door tightly. After a few hours, ventilate and clean the room.

If there are only a few insects, a vacuum cleaner will help get rid of them. Apply it to all hard-to-reach places, immediately pour the contents of the trash container into a bag and throw it into the garbage chute, remembering to tie it tightly.

Folk effective means of combating maggots and flies

Basically, folk remedies for insect control are harmless to humans and other inhabitants of the yard. And they don’t always destroy flies, but scare them away.

It is known that flies cannot stand the smell of alcohol. Therefore, vodka sprayed from a spray bottle in the toilet will make the insects fly away. Vinegar works the same way.
You can spray water with essential oils from a spray bottle. Flies do not like the smells of cloves, eucalyptus, lavender and mint. These methods are temporary - the flies appear again after a few hours, after the smell has dissipated. But they are not capable of harming living beings.
Plant brooms that can be hung in the toilet also help repel flies. Tansy, wormwood, basil, and lavender are suitable for this. After a week, dried herbs should be replaced with fresh bouquets.

Advice. To successfully combat flies and their larvae, it is best to use several methods simultaneously.

Of course, it is impossible to completely get rid of such troubles as flies and maggots in an outdoor toilet. However, by keeping it clean and using some of the above products, it is quite possible to reduce their amount to a minimum.

Making a trap

If there is no possibility or desire to use chemicals or simple mixtures, you can make a trap that will help you quickly get rid of insects. It's very easy to do.

Take a small glass container (glass or jar), put a piece of banana or apple in it. Roll up a thick sheet of paper and place it in the jar, with the wide opening facing out. Attach the funnel to the container using tape.

Options for midge traps

That's it, the trap is ready. Midges will be able to fly in to the smell of rotting fruit, but they will not be able to get out of the trap. All you have to do is wait until there are a lot of representatives of the annoying family in the jar, take out the paper funnel and fill the container with boiling water.

Then you need to pour the dead midges into the toilet, put in a new bait and install the paper funnel again. You can install several such traps, this guarantees that the insects will completely disappear after a while. The main thing is not to forget to check the banks periodically.

Chemicals

Many drugs have been created to combat flies in outdoor toilets. However, the specificity of the problem should be taken into account. Products that effectively get rid of flies in an apartment are not suitable for outdoor buildings. The inability to tightly close a constantly ventilated room will reduce the result of aerosol treatment to zero. To kill flies in the country toilet, powder and liquid preparations are used.

The lack of electricity in an outdoor toilet becomes an obstacle to the use of fumigators that easily repel insects

Bleaching powder

Bleach, familiar for a long time, is used as a disinfectant. The drug is used to treat surfaces and pits in the toilet. You can buy a powder version of the product or a ready-made aqueous solution. Chloride of lime, poured over the contents of the cesspool, kills maggots (the developmental stage of flies) and prevents the birth of new flying pests.

An aqueous solution is used to wash the floor and treat the walls in an outdoor toilet. The strong poisonous aroma of the drug repels flies and disinfects the room. Chlorine vapors are dangerous for humans. Therefore, processing should be carried out using respiratory, eye and hand protection.

Agita

The water-soluble emulsion contains 10% thiamethoxam. A contact-intestinal insecticide affects the nervous system of insects and causes paralysis. To get rid of flies in a country toilet, the drug must be diluted with water and applied to the walls in strips about 30 cm long. Agita is effective for up to two weeks. One 400 ml can is enough to treat the toilet throughout the warm season.

Store remaining emulsion in a cool, dark place to prevent accidental use.

GET

A preparation based on the phosphorus-containing substance chlorpyrifos. The poisonous component protects against flies and other insects. Used to treat walls and floors of country toilets. The product is applied by spraying. The manufacturer classifies the drug as low-hazard to humans. Although the phosphorus-containing component is prohibited for use in some countries.

You should not use GET in toilets located near water bodies or bee apiaries. Every year new means for controlling insects appear. When choosing drugs to kill flies, it is important to consider the danger of chemical components to human health. It may be worth using less effective but more harmless drugs.

Folk remedies

Basically, folk remedies for insect control are harmless to humans and other inhabitants of the yard. And they don’t always destroy flies, but scare them away.

It is known that flies cannot stand the smell of alcohol. Therefore, vodka sprayed from a spray bottle in the toilet will make the insects fly away. Vinegar works the same way.
You can spray water with essential oils from a spray bottle. Flies do not like the smells of cloves, eucalyptus, lavender and mint. These methods are temporary - the flies appear again after a few hours, after the smell has dissipated. But they are not capable of harming living beings.
Plant brooms that can be hung in the toilet also help repel flies.
Tansy, wormwood, basil, and lavender are suitable for this. After a week, dried herbs should be replaced with fresh bouquets. Bouquets of herbs will help repel insects
Peels of various citrus fruits, as well as sprigs of coniferous trees, are also suitable as deterrents.
A very good repellent option is to plant some living plants. For example, flies cannot stand the smell of walnut and elderberry shoots. It is great if rows of marigolds or basil are planted near the toilet house. These plants are also not liked by mosquitoes.
You can easily make homemade sticky insect tapes. To do this, small, fairly long strips of corrugated cardboard are cut. On one side, a hole is made in them, through which a thread is threaded for hanging. Meanwhile, the sugar syrup is being cooked. At the same time, you need to make sure that the mixture does not overcook and caramelize. The finished strips, after immersion in syrup, are hung in and next to the toilet.
Some summer residents practice sprinkling excrement with peat or grass. In this case, there is no smell that attracts flies. In addition, in the future all this can be used as fertilizer.
There are many options for different fly traps made from plastic bottles. One of them: you need to take several 1.5-2 liter plastic bottles, pour some beer into them and place them in the corners of the toilet. Once inside, insects will not be able to get back out.

In order to be able to at least partially get rid of these persistent insects, many remedies have been invented, although none of them gives a 100% guarantee.

First, it's worth remembering about adhesive tapes. They help catch flies by luring them to their insect instinct. Anything sticky attracts flies; they land on the adhesive surface of the tape and stick to it. This product allows you to partially get rid of flies. But not all flies land on the surface of the tape. In addition, they need to be changed periodically, because the smell from the sticky substance applied to the tape “goes away” and insects do not react to it.

Now you need to pay attention to aerosols. These drugs (for example, Raptor, Raid Get, Varan, Karbofos and others) are poisons that destroy flies. You just need to spray the product in the room, close it tightly and do not open the doors for a while. The persistent insects will not appear for several days. The most effective aerosols are expensive. And cheap ones may not help. But we must also remember that aerosols can also harm human health.

Insecticidal powders such as “Agita 10 WG” are also sold in stores, from which solutions for treating cesspools are made. They help very well to get rid of the accumulation of annoying insects near this place.

Fly fumigators most often operate on electricity, which is why it may be impossible to install them in a toilet. But in some cases, when connecting an outlet to a toilet room, it is still possible to install a fumigator there. The product works similarly to the drug - from the plates. They also need to be changed periodically and turned off so that the device cools down.

Separately, it is necessary to say about those toilets that are installed in the dacha in the yard and about cesspools. They add special biological products that quickly turn the contents of the pits into water or inorganic substances. These include Septifos Vigor, Weist trit and some others.

You can also treat your toilet with chlorine. The product is a highly toxic substance that will easily eliminate not only the unpleasant odor. Bleaching destroys the larvae of many insects and repels adult insects. For this purpose, you need to pour it onto the surface of the pit.

You can also use toxic insecticides, but if there is an apiary or a small pond with fish on the site, then it is better to avoid this method of treating the toilet.

Some people pour dry powder into the toilet, used for cleaning sewers, dissolved in three liters of water.

You can also pour vodka or diluted alcohol into a spray bottle and spray it into the air in the room. Flies don't like the smell of alcohol, so they'll fly away. Instead of vodka, you can take vinegar or essential oil of clove, eucalyptus, lavender or mint. The oil is dissolved in water in the amount of 5 drops per 500 ml of water and sprayed indoors. This treatment of the toilet is not harmful to people, except in cases of allergy to any oil.

Plants that repel flies - natural insect repellents

Tansy helps repel flies and midges. It is collected (optionally during flowering), tied into bunches and hung in the corners of the toilet room. After a couple of weeks, the bundles are replaced with fresh ones.

You can also make homemade insect traps. To do this, you need to cook a viscous syrup with lemon juice, water and sugar; the syrup should be as thick as uncandied honey. Then you need to cut the corrugated cardboard into strips about two centimeters wide, make a hole at one end into which a thread is threaded, lubricate the strip on both sides with syrup and hang it in all corners.

Tape trap (homemade) Flies also do not tolerate sugar substitutes such as saccharin. Therefore, if there is such a substance in the house, the surfaces of the walls of the toilet room can be sprayed with a saccharin solution and the procedure can be repeated periodically.

In the same way, walls can be treated with hexachlorane solution. You can also make sweet baits with pepper or formaldehyde mixed in them. Flies, having tasted this “treat”, die. Fresh bracken leaves can help keep flies away, but they need to be replaced frequently.

Ledum, knotweed, buttercup, leaves of serviceberry and rowan, thuja twigs, ivy, branches and fruits of horse chestnut, as well as juniper, dry peel of lemons, oranges, and tangerines are also good for this purpose. They don't like flies and aloe juice. If you dilute it with hot water and place it in the toilet, the flies will disappear.

You can plant marigolds or basil near the toilet building in your dacha. Their smell also repels these insects quite well. But this is only if they live in the country permanently. In the heat, without watering, plants can simply dry out.

Some people install a toilet from a dry toilet, tightly blocking insects’ access to the contents of the drainage pit.

Some people make a hole in the toilet equal to the hole in the toilet floor and secure the toilet over the hole. Cover the top with a lid.

To get rid of flies, first of all it is necessary to maintain maximum cleanliness in the country house and in the surrounding area. Inside the premises there should be a complete absence of crumbs, leftover food, bread on the table, dirty floors, old food for a cat or dog, and so on - and outside the house there should be no undisposed garbage heaps, pet excrement and an uncleaned toilet, which is generally better to replace with a modern dry closet. .

If it is quite easy to get rid of house flies, then with street flies the situation is somewhat more complicated. They usually hang around their birthplace - especially outdoor toilets. To destroy maggots biding their time in the darkness of the latrine, you need to dilute an insecticide tablet in several liters of water to kill pests and pour this solution into the toilet hole.

The maggots will die after ten to fifteen minutes, and the new generation of flies will be killed on the vine. Adult flies can be killed using traditional adhesive tape and other conventional methods. A similar procedure with an insecticide should be carried out once a month every summer - this will help get rid of the root cause of the appearance of countless army of flies.

Flies are winged insects that appear in the warm season. They are very annoying and are carriers of dangerous diseases. They can cause dysentery, typhoid fever, cholera, plague and other equally dangerous diseases, since they indiscriminately sit on excrement, dead rats and mice, and then fly into the apartment and help themselves to food, fruit, sit on dishes, etc. Therefore, the fight against them must begin immediately, systematically and mercilessly.

You will need

– aerosols;
– fumigators;
- duct tape;
- mosquito net.

Instructions

Effective aerosols are available for killing flies under different trade names. They very quickly help to destroy all flying individuals. To use, read the instructions, remove all food products, remove bird cages and aquariums from the premises, and remove dogs and cats.

Spray the aerosol throughout the room, but do not just spray into the air, but treat the walls, curtains, and windows. This will not only help you cope with incoming flies, but will also serve for several days to destroy newly arrived insects. After one hour, ventilate the room with a flow of through air for 1 hour, carry out dry and wet cleaning.

If insects do appear and you cannot cope on your own, it is recommended to seek qualified help. Sanitary and epidemiological services are eliminating the annoying insect.

Rating of the most effective drugs against flies

The simplest means of repelling flies in an apartment (sticky tapes, dry baits, sprays) have low effectiveness and help to destroy only flying individuals. The problem can be solved once and for all only with the help of professional preparations that are toxic to adult insects, as well as their numerous offspring - eggs, larvae, pupae. Water-soluble concentrated insecticides are most effective due to their ability to penetrate hard-to-reach places in an apartment or house. The TOP 10 drugs, compiled on the basis of consumer reviews and recommendations of SES specialists, will help you choose a high-quality poison that will protect your home from colonization by irritating dipterans.

What is the easiest way to get rid of flies and maggots in a cesspool in your country house?

A cesspool is an excellent place for the life and reproduction of various creatures that are able to feed on human waste products.
How to get rid of maggots and other unpleasant reptiles that have settled in a country outdoor toilet? Is it possible to use chemicals or is it better to use well-known folk remedies? These questions can be answered only after a detailed investigation and understanding where such unpleasant creatures come from.

Who are maggots and where do they come from?

Not everyone knows that maggots are fly larvae. In order to understand how they appear in the toilet pit, you need to consider the life cycle of this insect.

A house fly lays approximately 150 eggs at a time. To provide food for her descendants in the future, she does this using some kind of organic waste. During her entire short life, which lasts 20-30 days, a female fly is capable of leaving about 3,000 eggs. They are small in size and very difficult to notice.

Life cycle of a fly

A country toilet is a place where human waste products accumulate, that is, a very favorable environment for the development of fly larvae.

At a favorable temperature, after a day, larvae appear from the eggs, resembling a white thread. This is the first stage of the larva, it is called feeding, lasts about a week.

At this time, filamentous larvae require a lot of heat and moisture, so they penetrate deeper into the waste.

In 5-7 days, the filamentous larva greatly increases in size (sometimes 800 times) and acquires a brown tint - this is maggot. Then the larva pupates and after about a week, a fully formed fly appears. During the first few days she cannot fly due to the weakness of her wings, so she continues to live next to other maggots. The adult leaves the cesspool and the cycle repeats.

How to get rid of maggots in a country toilet

Attention! Fighting flies and their larvae is quite difficult and no product can give a 100% guarantee.

Their chemicals are suitable:

Bleaching. This substance is very toxic. Capable of destroying larvae and driving away adults. Dry bleach is poured directly into the cesspool. A significant drawback is that the smell is too strong and toxic.
Aerosols. Special chemical compounds that are sprayed indoors. After treatment, the toilet must be closed for several days.

Chemical insect control agents can be dangerous to humans

Insecticidal powders, which can be purchased in specialty stores. They are poured into the pit itself and scattered around it.

Attention! The use of chemicals can cause great harm to human health.

Biological drugs . These are special liquids or powders that are bacteria of a certain type.

Such products are added directly to the waste pit and quickly decompose it into water and inorganic substances. Accordingly, flies stop laying eggs in such an environment that is unsuitable for them.

A very big advantage of such drugs is their absolute harmlessness. To this you can add the elimination of “toilet” odors.

Physical means of struggle. These include sticky tapes that can be hung in the toilet, sealing all cracks, and installing mosquito nets. The “seat” itself in the street house should be tightly closed with a lid.

All these measures will become a significant barrier to the penetration of flies into the toilet and, accordingly, they will not be able to lay eggs there. You can try pouring boiling water over the maggots in the pit. This will kill them instantly.

In this case, no harm will be caused to the environment.

Folk effective means of combating maggots and flies

Basically, folk remedies for insect control are harmless to humans and other inhabitants of the yard. And they don’t always destroy flies, but scare them away.

It is known that flies cannot stand the smell of alcohol. Therefore, vodka sprayed from a spray bottle in the toilet will make the insects fly away. Vinegar works the same way.
You can spray water with essential oils from a spray bottle. Flies do not like the smells of cloves, eucalyptus, lavender and mint. These methods are temporary - the flies appear again after a few hours, after the smell has dissipated. But they are not capable of harming living beings.
Plant brooms that can be hung in the toilet also help repel flies.
Tansy, wormwood, basil, and lavender are suitable for this. After a week, dried herbs should be replaced with fresh bouquets. Bouquets of herbs will help repel insects
Peels of various citrus fruits, as well as sprigs of coniferous trees, are also suitable as deterrents.
A very good repellent option is to plant some living plants. For example, flies cannot stand the smell of walnut and elderberry shoots. It is great if rows of marigolds or basil are planted near the toilet house. These plants are also not liked by mosquitoes.
You can easily make homemade sticky insect tapes. To do this, small, fairly long strips of corrugated cardboard are cut. On one side, a hole is made in them, through which a thread is threaded for hanging. Meanwhile, the sugar syrup is being cooked. At the same time, you need to make sure that the mixture does not overcook and caramelize. The finished strips, after immersion in syrup, are hung in and next to the toilet.
Some summer residents practice sprinkling excrement with peat or grass. In this case, there is no smell that attracts flies. In addition, in the future all this can be used as fertilizer.
There are many options for different fly traps made from plastic bottles. One of them: you need to take several 1.5-2 liter plastic bottles, pour some beer into them and place them in the corners of the toilet. Once inside, insects will not be able to get back out.

Advice. To successfully combat flies and their larvae, it is best to use several methods simultaneously.
