Zivela phi iincukuthu? Inkcazo ekhawulezileyo, engeyiyo yonke into

Nditsho nje amagama iirhorhoi zebhedi ihlala inele ukwenza ukuba abantu abaninzi babonakale bengcangcazela, behlaselwa yimibono yokuhlaselwa rhoqo kunye nokubiza okubizayo. Saye ke sathetha noBrittany Campbell, Ph.D., ugqirha wezinambuzane zeNational Pest Management Association- kwaye mhlawumbi ngomnye wabantu abambalwa emhlabeni obonakala enomdla wokwenene ukuthetha ngeencukuthu-ukubonakalisa izinambuzane.

Zivela phi iincukuthu?

Ayizizo izityalo zakho okanye ukutya okubolayo. Iincukuthu kufuneka zingeniswe ngumntu, utshilo uCampbell. Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokuba bahlala emzimbeni imizuzwana embalwa, endaweni yokutsala ixesha elide njengekhalane, kunokwenzeka ukuba bahambe ngemithwalo; Bazenza kamnandi ngeesutikheyisi, ezipajini, nasezirholweni zempahla.

Iibhedi zeebhedi zihlala kuphela ezindlwini, ngenxa yoko awuzukuzibamba kuhambo okanye kwipikniki. Kodwa eneneni kukuphela kwento yokwenza ngokubanzi enokwenziwa malunga nendawo abahlala kuyo. Nayiphi na indawo abantu abahlala kuyo okanye abahlala rhoqo kuyo ichaphazeleka kwiibhedi, utshilo uCampbell. Oko kuthetha ukuba ungabafumana kwiihotele, iinkampu zasehlotyeni, nakwezinye izindlu zabantu.

Zitya ntoni iincukuthu?

Nazi iindaba ezimbi: Isizathu sokuba izinambuzane ezincinci zilume kukuba batya ukutya okungqongqo kwegazi kuphela, kwaye ngelixa beza kuthi xhaxhe kwiikati nasezinja, abantu bangumthombo wegazi abawuthandayo, utshilo uCampbell. (Ukuba ucinga ngokulima ihhoko leenkuku okanye i-attic bat kolony, qaphela ukuba izinambuzane ziyazonwabela ezi ndidi zimbini njengemikhosi kwaye zinokuzimela ezindlwaneni nasezindlekeni.)

Nazi iindaba ezimnandi: Azisasazi naziphi na izifo. Abasoyikisi kakhulu, yinkathazo nje engonwabisiyo, utshilo uCampbell.

Ndazi njani ukuba indawo ineencukuthu?

Iibugs eziphilayo zihlala zifana nemilo yamakhalane kwaye zibonakala kakhulu kwiliso lenyama, utshilo uCampbell. Zimalunga nobungakanani bembewu ye-apile, nesisu esijikeleziweyo, imilenze emithandathu, kunye nentloko encinci. Unokwazi ukubona i-bugs ephilayo kumatrasi, ngakumbi ejikeleze ithegi yematrasi, ngaphakathi kwemigca, kufutshane nebhodi yentloko, nakwiindawo zokulala. Naliphi na indawo enika umngxunya omnyama okanye indawo yokufihla izakuba yindawo eqhelekileyo apho ungafumana khona, utshilo uCampbell.

Ithetha ntoni i-9/11

Kwakhona, iincukuthu azipheleli kwilaphu. Kungenzeka ukuba bahlasele malunga nantoni na egumbini, utsho uCampbell. Ndikhe ndazibona nakwiifreyimu zemifanekiso. Naphi na apho kubonelela ngendawo elungileyo yokufihla iibhugi yindawo enokubakho.

Kodwa ngelixa usenokwazi ukubona iibhugi eziphilayo, kunokwenzeka ukuba ufumane ezinye iimpawu zokuba bahlala khona. Unokufumana ii-exoskeletons abazishiya ngasemva, ezijongeka njengeziporho zeebugs ngokwazo: ulwandlalo lwebug kodwa likhanya ngombala kwaye licekeceke kakhulu. Unokubona amaqanda, akhangeleka ngathi ziirayisi ezincinci. Ukongeza, emva kokulunywa ziincukuthu, ziyetyisa igazi elizigqibileyo, kwaye zenza indlela yazo kwiinkqubo zazo kwaye ziphume njengamabala amnyama ajongeka njengamabala einki. (Siyazi: Sithe asichazi gca. Siyaxolisa.) La mabala anombala omdaka-mdaka ngombala, hayi bomvu. Ukuba ubona amabala abomvu aqaqambileyo kwimakhishithi akho, kunokwenzeka ngakumbi ukusuka apho walunywa khona okanye wakrwitshwa ebuthongweni bakho.

Andiyi kuqaphela ukulunywa?

Mhlawumbi, kodwa ayisosicwangciso sokuchonga esingenangqondo.

Ukulunywa ayisiyondlela yokuqinisekisa ukwanda kwebug, utsho uCampbell. Ukulunywa komntu wonke kujongeka kwahlukile-kusekwe kumajoni akho omzimba, ke wonke umntu usabela ngokwahlukileyo. Ngelixa abanye abantu banokufumana ubomvu obomvu oburhawuzayo obunxulunyaniswa nokubethelwa kweebhedi, abanye banokuba nobukrakra okanye bangaphenduli, kwaye nexesha elithathayo umzimba wakho ukuphendula linokwahluka.

Kukho intsomi yokuba ukulunywa ziincukuthu kungachongwa kuba ziluma kumgca wesithathu, kodwa ngelishwa akukho lula oko. Iincukuthu zinokugqobhoza ulusu kwiindawo ezininzi xa zikhangela umthambo, kodwa azilumi ngokuthe ngqo kwimiqolo emithathu, utshilo uCampbell. Ukulunywa kunokuba yinto engacacanga kwaye kuxhomekeke kwindlela umntu ahleli ngayo okanye alele ngayo kwaye apho iibhugi zifikelela khona eluswini.

Ngaba iibhedi zebhedi zisasazeka?

Ngelishwa, ewe ngokuqinisekileyo. Emva kokuba ufumene ii-hitchhikers ezimbalwa, banokwenza indlela yabo ngendlu yabo bodwa. Banokukhasa ngasemva kweebhodi ezisezantsi kwaye bahambe kwi-voids yodonga, kunye nemibhobho kunye nemigca yombane phakathi kweeflethi. Ndide ndabona iincukuthu zihamba kwindawo evulekileyo ezantsi epasejini, utshilo uCampbell. (Kupholile, kupholile.) Ii-lounges zoluntu nazo zinokuba yingozi, njengoko umntu enokuphalaza ibhedi kwiimpahla zakhe kwaye iya kujinga esofeni ukuze afumane umbuki zindwendwe omtsha.

Kulungile, ke ndiqinisekisa njani ukuba oku akwenzeki kum?

Ewe, asinakuqinisekisa soze . Akukho ndlela yokungaphumeleli yokwenyani yokuzisa izinambuzane ekhaya, utsho uCampbell. Olona hlobo kuphela lwendlela yokuphepha iibhugi kukuhlola ngokupheleleyo nayiphi na indawo ochitha ubusuku kuyo.

Xa ufika kwindawo oya kuyo, beka umthwalo wakho kwigumbi lokuhlambela, ngokufanelekileyo ebhafini, apho izimbungulu zingenakufane zikrobe. Emva koko tsala iibhedi zakho kwaye ujonge imiqondiso enjengamabala amdaka ngombala omnyama, izikhumba, kunye neebugs eziphilayo, ngakumbi kwimigodi yomatrasi kunye nebhokisi yasentwasahlobo kunye neekona ezikufutshane nebhodi yentloko. Oko kufanele kukugubungela uninzi lwayo, kodwa ukuba uziva ngathi yiparanoid eyongezelelweyo, ungatsala ibhodi yentloko kude nodonga kwaye ujonge kwiitafile ezisecaleni nakweyiphi na enye ifanitshala egumbini.

Ngaba ndingayi DIY indlela yam yokuphuma kuyo?

Mhlawumbi kancinci. I-EPA inikeza isicwangciso ephantse yafana nokuhlaselwa komkhosi kwaye ikakhulu kubandakanya ukunyanga zonke izinto zakho ezosulelekileyo ngamaqondo obushushu aphezulu, unyaka owodwa otywinwe ngumoya, okanye uzilahle nje.

Ngokubanzi, nangona kunjalo, iibhugi zebhedi zizinto zokuzama nje ukuba ungazifumani, kwaye ukuba uyakwenza oko, tsalela umnxeba kwiingxaki zabaqeqeshi. Baye bavelisa ukungavumi kuninzi lweemveliso ezinje ngebhedi yokutshiza ngebug ezikhoyo ngoku ezishelfini kwaye zigqwesa ekuzimeleni kude kwizithuba ezincinci uninzi lwabathandi olungenakufikelela okanye lufumane. Kwaye ukuba uhlala eflethini, sonke isakhiwo sakho kufuneka siphathwe ngenxa yeencukuthu zokukwazi ukuphuma. Zizidalwa ezingenakwenzeka ngokwenene, utsho uCampbell. Kunzima ngokwenene ukulawula ngokwakho.

Ndiyakonyanya.

Sukoyika. Kukho iindlela zokuphatha uhlaselo, kwaye njengoko besitshilo, ukurhawuzelela kukuphela kwesiphumo esibi; Iincukuthu aziyi kudlula naziphi na izifo okanye zonakalise impahla yakho.
