The millions of species of insects that live on earth today play a vital role in our planet's ecosystem. Although most of them are safe, some can cause a lot of trouble for a person, and some can be poisonous and even deadly. From common ants and flies to more exotic beetles, here's a list of the 25 most dangerous insects in the world.

Post sponsor: . All series!

1. Termites

Termites do not pose a direct danger to humans; they play important role For environment Moreover, in some cultures they are even eaten. But at the same time, baby termites can cause enormous damage to infrastructure, sometimes making houses completely uninhabitable.

3. Black-legged tick

Each year, the black-legged tick infects thousands of people with Lyme disease, which begins with a rash around the bite that resembles a bull's eye. Early symptoms of this disease include headache and fever. WITH further development illness the victim begins to suffer from problems with cardiovascular system. Few people die from these bites, but the effects can last for years after an unpleasant tick encounter.

4. Nomadic ants

The first creature on our list that is dangerous in the literal sense of the word is stray ants, known for their predatory aggression. Unlike other ant species, roving ants do not build their own permanent anthills. Instead, they create colonies that migrate from one place to another. These predators constantly move throughout the day, hunting insects and small vertebrates. In fact, the entire combined colony can kill more than half a million insects and small animals in one day.

Most wasps pose little direct danger, but certain varieties, such as the German wasp North America, reach large sizes and can be incredibly aggressive. If they sense danger or notice an invasion of their territory, they can sting repeatedly and very painfully. They will mark their aggressors and in some cases chase them.

6. Black Widow

Although the sting of a female black widow spider can be very dangerous to humans due to the neurotoxins released during the bite, if necessary medical attention is provided promptly, the consequences of the bite will be limited to only some pain. Unfortunately, isolated cases of death from a black widow bite still occurred.

7. Hairy Caterpillar Coquette Moth

Megalopyge opercularis moth caterpillars look cute and furry, but don't be fooled by their cartoonish appearance: they are extremely poisonous.

Usually people believe that it is the hairs themselves that sting, but in reality the poison is released through the spines hidden in this “fur”. The spines are extremely brittle and remain in the skin after touching. The poison causes a burning sensation around the affected area, headache, dizziness, vomiting, sharp abdominal pain, damage to the lymph nodes and sometimes respiratory arrest.

8. Cockroaches

The cockroach is known as a carrier of many diseases dangerous to humans. Main danger life together with cockroaches is that they get into toilets, garbage cans and other places where bacteria accumulate, and as a result, they are their carriers. Cockroaches can cause many diseases: from worms and dysentery to tuberculosis and typhoid. Cockroaches can carry fungi, single-celled organisms, bacteria and viruses. And here's a fun fact - they can live for months without food or water.

10. Bed bugs

A person does not directly feel the bite itself, since the bedbug’s saliva contains an anesthetic substance. If the bug is unable to get to the blood capillary the first time, it can bite a person several times. Severe itching begins at the site of the bug bite, and a blister may also appear. Occasionally, people experience a severe allergic reaction to a bug bite. Fortunately, 70 percent of people experience little to no effects from them.

Bedbugs are household insects and do not belong to the group of carriers of infectious diseases, however, in their bodies they can retain pathogens that transmit infections through the blood for a long time, for example, viral hepatitis B; pathogens of plague, tularemia, and Q-fever can also persist. They cause the greatest harm to people with their bites, depriving a person of normal rest and sleep, which can subsequently negatively affect moral health and performance.

11. Human gadfly

12. Centipede

The centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) is an insect also called the flycatcher, which supposedly appeared in the Mediterranean. Although other sources talk about Mexico. The centipede has become very common throughout the world. Although the appearance of such insects is unattractive, they generally perform useful work, as they eat other insect pests and even spiders. True, with entomophobia (fear of insects) such an argument will not help. People usually kill them because of their unpleasant appearance, although in some southern countries centipedes are even protected.

The flycatcher is a predator; they inject poison into the prey and then kill it. Flycatchers often settle in apartments without causing damage to food or furniture. They love moisture; centipedes can often be found in basements, under bathtubs, and in toilets. Flycatchers live from 3 to 7 years; newborns have only 4 pairs of legs, increasing them by one with each new molt.

Typically, a bite from such an insect is not alarming to humans, although it may be comparable to a minor bee sting. For some it may even be painful, but usually it is limited to tears. Of course, centipedes are not the insects that are responsible for thousands of deaths, but many of us would be surprised to learn that someone dies from these bites every year. The fact is that an allergic reaction to insect venom is possible, but this still happens extremely rarely.

13. Black Scorpion

Although scorpions do not belong to insects, since they belong to the order of arthropods from the class of arachnids, we still included them in this list, especially since black scorpions are the most dangerous species of scorpions. Most of them live in South Africa, they can be found especially often in desert areas. Black scorpions are distinguished from other species by their thick tails and thin legs. Black scorpions sting by injecting their victim with venom, which can cause pain, paralysis and even death.

14. Predator

15. Bullet Ant

Paraponera clavata is a species of large tropical ants from the genus Paraponera Smith and the subfamily Paraponerinae (Formicidae), which have a strong sting. This ant is called a bullet because victims of its bite compare it to being shot from a pistol.

A person bitten by such an ant may feel throbbing and constant pain for 24 hours after the bite. Some local Indian tribes (Satere-Mawe, Maue, Brazil) use these ants in very painful initiation rites for boys. adult life(which leads to temporary paralysis and even blackening of the stung fingers). During the study chemical composition poison, a paralyzing neurotoxin (peptide) called poneratoxin was isolated from it.

16. Brazilian wandering spider

Also known as Phoneutria, Brazilian wandering spiders are venomous creatures that live in tropical South America and Central America. In the 2010 Guinness Book of Records, this type of spider was named the most poisonous spider in the world.

The venom of this genus of spiders contains a powerful neurotoxin known as PhTx3. In lethal concentrations, this neurotoxin causes loss of muscle control and breathing problems, leading to paralysis and eventual suffocation. The bite is of average pain, the venom causes immediate infection of the lymphatic system, entering the bloodstream in 85% of cases leads to heart failure. Patients feel wild rigor during life; in men, priapism sometimes occurs. There is an antidote that is used on par with antibiotics, but due to the severity of the damage to the body from the poison, the detoxification procedure is effectively equal to the victim's chance of survival.

17. Malaria mosquito

18. Rat fleas

19. African honey bee

African bees (also known as killer bees) are descendants of bees brought from Africa to Brazil in the 1950s in an attempt to improve that country's honey production. Some African queens have begun to interbreed with native European bees. The resulting hybrids moved north and are still found in Southern California.

African bees look the same and in most cases behave like European bees, which currently live in the United States. They can only be detected by DNA analysis. Their stings are also no different from the sting of an ordinary bee. One very important difference between the two species is the defensive behavior of African bees, which is exhibited when defending their nest. In some attacks in South America, African bees have killed livestock and people. This behavior has earned AMPs the nickname “killer bees.”

Additionally, this type of bee is known for behaving like an invader. Swarms of them attack the hives of the common honey bee, invading them and installing their queen. They attack in large colonies and are ready to destroy anyone who encroaches on their queen.

Although not generally perceived as dangerous, fleas transmit numerous diseases between animals and people. Throughout history, they have contributed to the spread of many diseases, such as the bubonic plague.

21. Fire ants

Fire ants are several related ants from the Solenopsis saevissima species-group of the genus Solenopsis, which have a strong sting and poison, the effect of which is similar to a burn from a flame (hence their name). More commonly, this name refers to the invasive red fire ant, which has spread throughout the world. There are known cases of a person being stung by one ant with serious consequences, anaphylactic shock, even death.

22. Brown recluse spider

The second spider on our list, the brown recluse, does not release neurotoxins like the black widow. Its bite destroys tissue and can cause damage that can take months to heal.

The bite very often goes unnoticed, but in most cases the sensations are similar to those of a needle prick. Then within 2-8 hours the pain makes itself felt. Further, the situation develops depending on the amount of poison that enters the blood. The venom of the brown recluse spider has a hemolytic effect, which means it causes necrosis and tissue destruction. The bite can be fatal for small children, elderly and sick people.

23. Siafu Ants

Siafu (Dorylus) - these nomadic ants mainly live in the Eastern and Central Africa, but are also found in tropical Asia. The insects live in colonies that can number up to 20 million individuals, all of them blind. They make their journeys with the help of pheromones. The colony has no permanent place residence, wandering from place to place. During the movement to feed the larvae, insects attack all invertebrate animals.

Among these ants there are special group- soldiers. They are the ones who can sting, for which they use their hook-shaped jaws, and the size of such individuals reaches 13 mm. Soldiers' jaws are so strong that in some places in Africa they are even used to secure stitches. The wound may remain closed for as long as 4 days. Usually, after a Siafu bite, the consequences are minimal; you don’t even need to call a doctor. True, it is believed that young and elderly people are especially sensitive to the bites of such ants, and deaths from complications after contact have been observed. As a result, every year, according to statistics, from 20 to 50 people die from these insects. This is facilitated by their aggressiveness, especially when defending their colony, which a person can accidentally attack.

24. Giant Asian bumblebee

Many of us have seen bumblebees - they seem quite small, and there is no particular reason to be afraid of them. Now imagine a bumblebee that grew up as if on steroids, or just look at the Asian giant. These hornets are the largest in the world - their length can reach 5 cm, and their wingspan is 7.5 centimeters. The length of the sting of such insects can be up to 6 mm, but neither a bee nor a wasp can compare with such a bite; bumblebees can also sting repeatedly. Such dangerous insects cannot be found in Europe or the USA, but when traveling around East Asia and the mountains of Japan, you can meet them. To understand the consequences of a bite, it is enough to listen to eyewitnesses. They compare the sensation of a bumblebee sting to a hot nail driven into the leg.

Sting venom has 8 various connections, which cause discomfort by damaging soft tissues and creating an odor that can attract new bumblebees to the victim. People who are allergic to bees can die from a reaction, but there have been cases of death due to the mandorotoxin venom, which can be dangerous if it gets deep enough into the body. It is believed that about 70 people die from such bites every year. It is curious, but the sting is not the main hunting weapon of bumblebees - they crush their enemies with their large jaws.

25. Tsetse fly

The tsetse fly lives in tropical and subtropical Africa, having chosen the Kalahari and Sahara deserts. Flies are carriers of trypanosomiasis, which causes sleeping sickness in animals and humans. Tsetse are anatomically very similar to their common relatives - they can be distinguished by the proboscis on the front of the head and the special manner in which the wings are folded. It is the proboscis that allows them to obtain the main food - the blood of wild mammals in Africa. On this continent there are 21 species of such flies, which can reach from 9 to 14 mm in length.

You should not consider flies so harmless to humans, because they actually kill people, doing this quite often. It is believed that in Africa, up to 500 thousand people are infected with sleeping sickness, transmitted by this particular insect. The disease disrupts the activity of the endocrine and cardiac systems. Then gets amazed nervous system, causing confusion and sleep disturbance. Attacks of fatigue give way to hyperactivity.

The last major epidemic was recorded in Uganda in 2008; in general, the disease is on the WHO list of forgotten ones. However, in Uganda alone, 200 thousand people have died from sleeping sickness over the past 6 years. The disease is believed to be largely responsible for the deteriorating economic situation in Africa. It is curious that flies attack any warm object, even a car, but they do not attack a zebra, considering it just a flash of stripes. Tsetse flies also saved Africa from soil erosion and overgrazing caused by cattle.

The man came up with different methods fight these insects. In the 30s on west coast destroyed all wild pigs, but this gave results only for 20 years. Now they are fighting by shooting wild animals, cutting down bushes and treating male flies with radiation in order to deprive them of the opportunity to reproduce.

Small brown bugs in the apartment climb into closets with clothes, grocery bags, hide in carpets, upholstered furniture, indoor plants and under baseboards.

It is very difficult to get rid of tiny carpet beetles and anthrenuses, but you should not hope that the insects will leave the apartment on their own. Homeowners should take note of several proven ways to get rid of harmful brown bugs.

Reasons for appearance

Tiny insects are found everywhere:

under baseboards;
in bags with bulk products;
in a closet with clothes;
for central heating radiators;
in carpets, paths;
on indoor flowers;
inside upholstered furniture;
near heating devices;
on window sills;
inside smoked and dried products, meat products;
in bags of grain, cans of peanuts;
among books and paper.

Caterpillars of skin beetles, unlike adult individuals, are quite tenacious and can survive without food for several weeks. A soft, dry “cushion” of dust behind baseboards, in corners, near the back wall of cabinets is an excellent refuge for growing pests. Almost does not penetrate into secluded corners sunlight, the larvae feel at ease.

Routes of entry of insects:

through open windows and windows;
with old furniture, books;
inside used items purchased at a sale;
inside products if stored improperly;
with cereals, whole grains;
at the time of buying dried fish and meat, smoked meats;
from attics, from basements;
on dried mushrooms, in a bag with medicinal herbs or spices purchased at the market;
on the pile of old carpets.

It is quite difficult to protect yourself from “acquaintance” with tiny brown bugs: small pests are difficult to notice. The inattention of owners when purchasing new or old things, clothes, and products often allows pests to enter the house unnoticed.

Types of small brown bugs

The human home is attacked by several types of harmful insects. Most often, carpet beetles crawl around an apartment or private house. Anthrenuses live in old carpets.

Tiny bugs have one peculiarity - they do not like excess humidity. For this reason, insects do not settle in the bathroom.

A few details about each type of pest. The information will be useful to all owners.

Carpet beetles

General information:

Pests feed on organic matter: fur, skin, flowers, fluff, food, feathers. Insects chew through books glued together with a starch-based composition;
the size of the insects is from 2 to 4 mm, the color is dark brown or black. The faces have a rounded, tapering body, the color of the growing pest is yellow-brown;
the grain beetle destroys nuts (likes peanuts), cereals, grains, bran, flour of various types;
The ham skin beetle prefers meat products and penetrates into dried fish and smoked meats. The insect annoys museum workers: it destroys stuffed animals, collections of zoo exhibits, and damages houses Leather Products, fur, animal skins;
pests are not afraid of sudden changes in temperature, they feel great in basements, apartments, bird nests, and attics;
The carpet beetle develops from egg to adult in 6–12 months. The female lays at least a hundred eggs;
bugs hide in dusty corners, among crackers, dried mushrooms, in crevices, among old clothes. Skin beetle larvae do not tolerate Sun rays, try to hide away from bright light.

Important! Often, owners do not understand how dangerous small bugs are Brown, they think that the insects accidentally got into the apartment and will soon leave the home. But after a few weeks it turns out that pests live everywhere, crawl from rotting leftovers onto food, appear not only in closets with clothes, but also in grocery bags. The earlier the fight against tiny insects is started, the greater the chances of success of the “operation”.

Anthrenuses

General information:

pests are small, size – from 1 to 4 mm, color – brown or almost black;
tiny beetles live on old carpets;
insects readily eat crumbs, particles of epidermis, human hair that has fallen on the carpet, lint, organic matter, which are always present on carpets;
larvae of anthrenus beetles also hide among the fibers and are difficult to see;
with a small colony size, insects do not cause much harm, but often cause allergy attacks in people with hypersensitivity;
During active reproduction, adults and larvae take on things and spoil them.

Harm

Anthrenuses damage food, things, furniture, fabrics (not only wool), leather goods, books, and carpets. Insects chew through drywall, wooden furniture, even electrical wiring. Omnivorous insects live not only in the kitchen: pests crawl throughout the apartment.

Small brown beetles carry dangerous disease pathogens on their tiny legs and antennae. Insects move through dusty corners, food waste, the bathroom area, move into the kitchen, and crawl on food. It is difficult to talk about maintaining hygiene standards after such “travels”.

How to get rid of it: effective methods

The first stage is to identify all the places where skin beetles or anthrenuses have settled. Small pests often hide behind baseboards. The owners will have to explore every corner of the apartment to find adult beetles and larvae, check the shelves in the kitchen, houseplants, wardrobes with clothes, bookshelves.

On a note! If you do not take this stage seriously, new pests will soon appear from the remaining eggs, and the fight against anthrenuses and leather beetles will be in vain.

The second stage is the selection of the optimal means for killing insects. It is important to consider how many pests have settled in the home, whether there are people with allergies or small children at home.

Chemicals and folk remedies. With a large number of skin beetles and anthrenuses, it is easier to invite professional exterminators than to waste time and nerves on treating the apartment yourself.

The third stage is the direct fight against tiny brown bugs. If you decide to carry out pest control on your own, you will have to set aside two or three days to prepare for the procedure and find the time to apply toxic products or homemade compounds.

Note to owners:

complexity of independent processing - in large quantities areas where harmful beetles can live. For this reason, it is easier to turn to professionals;
The owners’ task is to check bulk products, flowerpots with indoor flowers, and look in the refrigerator;
a prerequisite is the removal of rubbish, using a vacuum cleaner to collect insects, wet cleaning;
Only in the absence of secluded, dusty corners there is a chance to get rid of skin beetles and anthrenuses forever.

How to remove insects yourself

Procedure:

vacuum the carpets, place them in the sun or freeze them in winter;
boil the fabrics in a soapy solution;
treat leather products and items made of leatherette;
clean upholstered furniture using a steam generator;
freeze woolen and synthetic items on the balcony or in the freezer;
take out all the products, bags, jars of cereals, flour from the cabinets, review the supplies. If found, do not fry millet, buckwheat or rice in the oven, then remove the dead individuals. It is healthier to throw away spoiled cereals without regret in order to protect the body from the penetration of pathogenic microbes, which are often found on the antennae and paws of pests;
check knitted items, clothes made from natural fabrics, fur, leather products. Inspect the cabinets, chest of drawers, bedside tables, wipe the inside with soapy water;
check the baseboards, remove old, dried out products, replace with new ones. If the wooden elements are still useful, then seal all the cracks.

About methods of use ammonia against cockroaches and about safety measures when using ammonia is written on the page.

A few more tips:

After preparation, treat baseboards, floors, cracks, corners, and wooden furniture with a toxic aerosol or insecticide solution. You should not buy universal staves: the best option is products designed to destroy harmful bugs. Suitable drugs: Antimol, Difox, Supronid, Morimol;
Treat potentially dangerous areas twice a week for a month. Only with this approach can you get rid of small bugs. After each procedure, vacuum and thoroughly wash the floors;
among traditional methods The use of boric acid has a good effect. Pour pharmaceutical powder into all crevices where pests may live. You will have to purchase several sachets of the product: harmful insects inhabit many areas of the home. Boric acid does not harm animals and household members, but leather beetles, anthrenuses, and other unpleasant and dangerous “neighbors” do not tolerate the action of the product well.

Preventive measures

The fight against carpet beetles and anthrenuses takes a lot of effort and time from the owners. After removing tiny insects, it is important to understand how to act to prevent pests from re-invading your home.

How to proceed:

In summer, put mosquito nets on windows;
protect the air vents with fine mesh grilles;
do not allow hair to accumulate in the corners, near front door or next to the cabinets if there is a cat or dog at home;
donate old things to a charity without regret. If no one wears clothes for a long time, dust accumulates in them, and favorable soil appears for the proliferation of skin beetles, clothes and fur coats;
put things away for storage, having previously treated the items with an anti-pediculosis agent - 0.005% permin solution. A simple procedure will prevent the development of skin beetles;
periodically remove things from closets, ventilate them on the balcony, freeze them in winter or hang them in the sun in summer to destroy larvae and adults. Regular care of things and maintaining the cleanliness of storage areas helps in the fight against moths;
In winter, take “dust collectors” out into the cold. Special attention carpet runners, sweaty curtains, covers for armchairs and sofas;
Periodic cleaning of upholstered furniture using a steam generator is an excellent way to remove all pests hiding in the folds and seams of the upholstery;
put a couple of cloves of garlic in each jar of cereal or flour. A good option to repel bugs and - bay leaf;
To prevent the penetration of harmful insects, sealing not only holes in the floor or baseboards, but also blowing foam into all holes/cracks leading into the apartment from the basement/attic from neighbors will help.

Is your home being attacked by little brown bugs? You will have to act quickly and competently. The recommendations described above will help get rid of anthrenuses and skin beetles. After removing pests, be sure to follow preventive measures to prevent tiny creatures from entering the apartment.

Some people notice white insects appearing in the bathroom. There are many varieties of beetles that can thrive in the bathroom or toilet. You definitely need to know what they all look like.

Some people notice white insects appearing in the bathroom

Types of insects living in the bathroom

Small white insects are not uncommon in the apartment. There are several varieties that prefer to live in the bathroom.

For example, silverfish. These creatures have an elongated body and 3 long hairs at its end. The antennas are 1 cm long. They have no wings. They are not large in size. Color – light gray, almost whitish. If they are completely white, this means that they have recently moulted and the top layer has not yet hardened.

Their appearance is unpleasant, which is why people don’t like them (but more often they are simply afraid of them). But silverfish are harmless to humans. They often live in bathrooms and toilets, as in other rooms. They prefer a variety of organic matter as food. It could be leftover food, or even just wet paper. In the toilet and bathroom, they feed on rags, garbage, bedding, toilet paper and even mold. Silverfish do not spread bacteria and dirt and do not cause any harm to humans.

Scientists consider silverfish to be one of the most ancient insects that live on this planet. Their body is distinguished by its primitiveness, and these are precisely the features that were characteristic of their ancestors. As a rule, there are few of them in apartments, since they do not reproduce too often or actively. You can get rid of them using regular mechanically. In more severe cases, household insecticide sprays are also suitable.

Small white insects are not uncommon in the apartment

In addition, there are the following types:

Butterfly. These are small flies. They can be either light or dark, depending on the variety. They have long wings of 2 mm. From the outside they appear velvety. Butterflies appear in the bathroom and toilet due to dampness. The development of their larvae occurs in sewer pipes, in places where there is a lot of dirt and moisture. Butterflies need any organic matter as food. Usually they are few in number: there can be a maximum of 2-3 individuals in a room. You can either use conventional insecticides or manually eliminate the pest.
Mosquitoes. Simple mosquitoes appear in the bathroom usually due to dampness and moisture. This is the environment that suits them best.
Cockroaches. The cockroach appears due to migration from neighboring apartments. They usually pass through ventilation ducts. This is how they get into the toilet and bathroom. Typically, cockroaches have darker shades - black, brown, red. But they are rarely whitish - only after molting, when the new coat has not yet fully formed. Usually they try to hide, but still in rare cases people discover them.
Woodlouse. It is not considered an insect, but the specimens that often appear in the bathroom are also often frightening. They are classified as crustaceans (terrestrials), but many people do not know about this classification. Woodlice prefer to live in places with high humidity. They require plant debris as food. What many people remember about woodlice is that they are able to quickly curl up into a ball if there is danger. As a rule, they prefer to hide in places where water constantly leaks. If wood lice appear in the house, this indicates a problem in the water supply and sewerage system. If water doesn’t flow anywhere, then they definitely won’t start in the room. They usually come from neighbors.

Centipedes

Centipedes refer to flycatchers and nooses. Those bathroom bugs aren't actually insects either. Despite the fact that they belong to closely related species, they are appearance very different. Usually centipedes have dark shade– brown, black. However, sometimes you can find whitish individuals. This means that they have recently shed their previous covering.

As for the nooses, these invertebrates prefer to be found in places where there is dampness. They require quiet, secret and damp places. Nooks are harmless. If they sense danger, they quickly curl into a spiral and emit an unpleasant odor from the secreted liquid. This is their specialty.

Prevention of insects

To reduce the number of unwanted guests in the bathroom, it is necessary to take preventive measures. They boil down to the following:

The main reason that pests appear in the bathroom and toilet is dampness. This is usually due to leaking pipes. Most The best way get rid of unexpected “guests” - eliminate all problems in the pipeline and plumbing. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of the ventilation passages.

If the apartment is located on the ground floor, then usually woodlice, cockroaches and other creatures that prefer dampness crawl from the basement. The same applies to individual houses. To prevent this, it is necessary to remove all cracks and grooves between the pipes. This is the only way to ensure that even the smallest “guests” will not be able to find a new shelter.

As a preventive measure, you can sprinkle boric acid in the bathroom and toilet. Insects will not be able to live here, since the first individuals will quickly die after eating powder particles. It is also allowed to hang wormwood and set up sections.

There are several ways to eliminate unwanted “guests”:

Physical measures. As a rule, insects that live in the bathroom prefer moisture, warmth and darkness. You can simply rid them of such conditions. This means what needs to be done general cleaning, eliminating all dirt, especially organic matter, mold, dust, debris, rags, wet paper. It is necessary to remove all plaque under the bathroom, behind the toilet and in others secluded places. Be sure to wash everything with bleach. Then dry the surfaces and apply a solution of copper sulfate. To reduce moisture, the room should always be ventilated.
Traps. This option is also considered effective. Baits and traps should be placed in corners and dark places where insects usually live. The next morning they need to be cleaned or thrown away, but it is best to burn them. You can purchase ready-made ones or build them yourself.

For people faced with such a problem, the first thing that worries them is the question of where these .

First of all, it’s worth figuring out what attracts them to the bathroom:

This is exactly the place where there is increased dampness. For white bugs, such an environment is favorable. In it they can fully exist, feed and reproduce.
In the bathroom, insects will always find water and food for themselves.
This is the part of the room where there are almost always no people who can scare you.
Daylight is an unfavorable area for bugs; they feel more comfortable in the dark.
