Best Remedies for Midges

Rating of mosquito repellents

Despite their small size, the consequences of midge bites are more severe than those of mosquitoes. These pests tear out small pieces of skin with their jaws, leaving behind a blister, large swelling, and hematoma. We reviewed several dozen repellents, traps, and special means for treating bites, evaluating each applicant according to the following criteria:

Form – solution, emulsion, spray, cream;
The basis is the active components, their origin;
Purpose – a list of insects sensitive to the composition;
Type of action – repelling, protecting, treating bite sites;
Effect – speed of onset, duration of preservation;
Contraindications – precautions, restrictions on use;
Packaging – volume, ease of use, consumption;
Treatment – application method, coverage area;
Recommendations – age, place of application, other conditions;
Safety – degree of toxicity towards humans and animals.

Having compared the capabilities declared by the manufacturer with the actual effect, we weeded out ineffective drugs. Customer reviews also helped with this, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of such funds. The result was a review of 9 nominees who received the highest scores.

They must be not only effective, but also safe for everyone living in the apartment/house, including children and pets. The Vyborexperta.ru review included 3 nominees with the best customer reviews.

Argus

The most popular preparation for electrofumigation, destroying flies, midges and other flying insects. It differs from analogues in the method of application - a plastic compact bottle with a volume of 30 ml with a liquid solution inside, connected to the mains. As soon as it starts working, within 10 minutes the pests lose activity, and after 30 they die.

The main component is a liquid with this low concentration. The entire bottle is designed to provide 360 hours of midge protection. The optimal room area is 15-16 square meters. m.

Another drug in the form of a liquid for fumigation. The bottle is standard, its volume is 30 ml. Once connected to the electrical network, the protective effect is maintained even with the windows open. As the specially developed formulation heats up, it affects the nervous system of the midge, causing paralysis and then death. This amount of solution is consumed in 45 nights of regular use. The area of the room must be at least 5 square meters. m (for example, it is better not to turn it on in the kitchen).

The active substance is natural pyrethrin extract from Dalmatian chamomile. The result will be noticeable within 5 minutes - the insects will begin to behave chaotically and will not be able to take off. After 30 minutes there will be no trace left of them.

Boyscout Help

The third proposal for protecting an apartment from annoying flying bloodsuckers is an insecticide in the form of a liquid solution used together with a fumigator. Moreover, the active components are eliminated by paralysis of not only adults, but also larvae. The main difference from the nominees is the safe pesticide Vaportrin (Empentrin). It also shows activity against tissue pests.

Studies have shown that “Boyscout Help” is the best eliminater of adult flies, affecting the pest through the respiratory system. Evaporation begins immediately after switching on, the maximum duration is 240 hours.

Effective insecticides and repellents

Effective and professional insecticide chemicals include:

Dichlorvos;
Raptor;
Raid spray;
Reftamide;
Thunder, Thunder 2.

Dichlorvos and Raptor are top sellers. They are often bought because of their attractive price and fast action. The chemicals will kill all midges within the spray radius in a short time. It is important to wear protective clothing, a mask or a respirator when working with these drugs. Gather the hair on your head into a ponytail. While working with chemicals, do not smoke, eat or drink water. The drug has a pungent odor.

Dichlorvos

Dichlorvos is most often purchased to combat midges. It is unsafe for the human respiratory tract. The best time to use is in the morning from 8 to 12 o'clock. At this time, the children go to classes. By evening, the smell of the drug will disappear. When working with chemicals, unauthorized people without protective clothing, children and animals should be removed from the premises.

Raptor

The second most popular chemical after Dichlorvos. Raptor is easy to use. This broad-spectrum drug can additionally eliminate not only midges, but also cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies and other pests from an apartment or private house. When working with chemicals, it is important to remove indoor plants and animals and children from the premises. The drug has a pungent odor. Raptor should be used strictly according to the instructions.

Raid spray

Raid spray is less popular, but is not inferior in effectiveness to the best sellers. Sold with instructions. It indicates at what minimum and safe distance from a person the chemical should be sprayed. Be sure to wear a mask before work to protect your respiratory tract. After getting rid of midges using Reid spray, you should thoroughly wash your hands and throw protective clothing in the wash. As a preventive measure, 5 hours after working with Reid spray, you should wet clean the entire apartment.

Reftamide

Reftamide is a good and effective drug that will kill flower and fruit gnats. Before working with the chemical, you should wear medical gloves. Reftamid is not dangerous for plants. It is necessary to transplant indoor flowers into other pots in advance, carefully inspecting the roots for the presence of pests. Then get to work following the instructions.

Thunder and Thunder 2

Like Reftamid, Thunder and Thunder 2 are a series of insecticides that do not harm plants. These drugs are produced in the form of granules. They have no smell. Easily absorbed into the soil located in flower pots. Thunder 2 is toxic to insects - it causes convulsions and stops breathing, thereby eliminating midges. Valid for 3 days. It is better to store the product out of the reach of children and animals.

Thunder 2 contains diazinon, which causes convulsions in insects. The chemical can penetrate human skin - protective gloves should be worn when working with the drug.

The advantages of this product include speed and efficiency, as well as a low price. The downside is toxicity to fish and other aquatic fauna. Use near a home aquarium or outdoor pond is undesirable.

If a chemical gets into a person’s stomach, drink 2 glasses of warm water, then induce vomiting, take activated charcoal and contact a gastroenterologist or primary care physician. It is easy to poison yourself with an insecticide and cause complications.

Insect repellent bracelets

There are many scarer bracelets for children and adults to choose from. Among them are:

reusable (you can change the cartridge);
disposable - not valid for long.

Before purchasing, you should consult with the seller and carefully study the instructions. Some of the bracelets are contraindicated for use in children under 3 years of age.

Popular brands include Gardex and Bugslock. The cost of the first one is up to 150 rubles. Approved for use by children over 1 year of age. Looks like a stylish accessory. Effective outdoors.

Gardex is fastened on the arm using a fastener. There is a children's and adult version on sale. This is a reusable product - it comes with 3 cartridges included. Made from silicone. As protection, the manufacturer chose the pungent scents of lavender, mint and geranium.

Children love to put silicone trinkets in their mouths. The manufacturer made sure that the child did not get poisoned - the bracelet contains a food additive that tastes bitter. It is not toxic.

Bugslock is not inferior to Gardex in price. Its cost is no more than 150 rubles. It is fixed on the hand using a button. It is impossible to lose the bracelet. This is a disposable product - no cartridges included. The repellent bracelet will have to be changed every 2 weeks. It is better not to wear this “accessory” on children under 5 years of age.

Fumigators

Particularly popular is the fumigator in the form of a flashlight from Patio Lantern against midges. It can be left outdoors or indoors as decoration. Glows in the dark. Works without a battery, not from a wall outlet. Doesn't make any sounds.

When turned on, the midge fumigator will begin to heat up in the apartment and emit an odor that is not toxic to people (which cannot be said about insects). It is capable of immobilizing and eliminating midges within a radius of 20 square meters. m.

Traps

A trap is an effective way to quickly, without the use of chemicals, deal with annoying midges.

You will need a glass jar, sweet fruits, a paper funnel, and tape. Pre-cut fruits are placed at the bottom of the container (it is better to choose fruits that have expired). A funnel is inserted into the neck of the jar. Its joint is taped with tape. The midge will flock to the sweet smell, fly into a glass jar, and will not be able to fly back.
To make a trap, take a plastic glass, bait (fruit, yogurt or sweet compote), cling film, and a thick needle. Place bait on the bottom of the glass, then cover the container with cling film. Make several small holes in it. One condition is not to overdo it with the diameter, otherwise the midges will be able to get out.
A very simple and effective way is to use a plastic bag and rotten apples or other fruits. The missing products are poured into the bottom of the bag. The midge will begin to actively “frolic” inside the bag. You should simply tie it up and throw it away.

Adhesive tapes

The adhesive tape is treated with a special substance that is aimed at attracting midges. This is a cheap and easy-to-use remedy for midges in an apartment, private house and outdoors. It is enough to hang the tape above the ceiling or on a tree - the annoying insects will stick tightly and will soon die. The tapes have no smell.

Ultrasonic repellers

Ultrasonic repellers include Typhoon, UltraSonic and special bracelets that affect midges with simulating sounds. Only female insects feed on human blood and rotten food to ensure the life of their offspring. Therefore, ultrasonic devices imitate the sounds from the wings of males, driving away females (they try to avoid males).

The impact area of the key fobs depends on the power. They can be used indoors and also outdoors. Ultrasound is not harmful, but it helps to quickly get rid of mosquitoes and midges. Human hearing is not able to detect these sounds.

Typhoon-200 and UltraSonic-410 are devices with three emitters that protect an area of up to 40 square meters. m. They work from the network. Do not affect other devices and human hearing.

The best remedies for midge bites

At the site of the midge bite, painful hematomas remain that will itch, swell and turn red. If a mosquito makes a small puncture, the midge tears out a piece of skin, hence the pain. Manufacturers offer different formulations of repellent and therapeutic effects, among them we have selected 2 leaders in terms of price and quality ratio.

Gardex Extreme

Long-acting aerosol – reliable protection in nature. After spraying onto the skin, the spray repels flying bloodsuckers for up to 8 hours. And if the composition is applied on top of clothing, the effect is extended up to 5 days. The active substance is DEET with a concentration of 50%, which is enough to eliminate a high number of insects.

The packaging is an 80 ml aerosol can with a convenient locking cap that protects the owner from accidental spraying.

With regular use, one unit will last for 2 weeks. The manufacturer indicates a tendency to allergic reactions, children under 3 years of age, and pregnancy as contraindications.

Advantages:

Instant action;
Long protection;
Increased concentration of the substance;
Ease of use;
High quality;
Cap with blocker.

Flaws:

Acrid odor;
Price.

Shake the can well and spray the spray onto your palms. Then use your hands to distribute the composition over areas of the body or clothing, but do not rub. If necessary, repeat the manipulations no earlier than after 4 hours.

Siberina Mint and tea tree

The last position in the review from ChoiceExpert is occupied by a gel-balm with a soothing effect. It is based exclusively on natural ingredients, so the drug is approved even for children. Tea tree essential oil repels insects with its pungent odor, heals if they have bitten, and destroys bacteria. Green tea and chamomile extracts have anti-inflammatory properties that eliminate itching, redness, and swelling.

Mint pleasantly cools, eliminating symptoms of discomfort and irritation. Another valuable skin supplement is D-panthenol, which increases local immunity and soothes the skin. Thanks to such components, a remedy for itching after a midge bite is used to prevent an allergic reaction. Essential oils act as repellents outdoors for 1-2 hours.

Advantages:

Natural base;
Calming effect;
Cooling;
Improving skin barrier functions;
Healing of bites;
Safety.

Flaws:

Price;
Difficult to find on sale.

Natural cosmetics prevent contact with mosquitoes and midges without causing toxic effects. Apply a thin layer of cream to the bite areas where irritation occurs. A soft tube of 50 ml runs out in 1-2 months.

Destruction options

There are many ways to kill annoying insects. You can use both chemicals and folk, safer measures. There are a wide variety of traps for them. There are enough options for fighting, and everyone will find an ideal effective way for themselves.

Insecticides and other ready-made preparations

An excellent remedy for fruit flies is aerosols and numerous insecticides. Their choice depends on the place that needs to be processed:

In apartments

The best results are shown by Dichlorvos, Raptor, Kombat and Raid. When carrying out treatment, it is necessary to remove four-legged pets and strangers from the premises. After processing, which should be done while using personal protective equipment, wash your hands and after a while ventilate the room well.

Soil treatment

To determine whether there are larvae in indoor plants, slightly lift the top layer of soil. If you find small worms in it, use Actellik or Fitoverm insecticides. But you can simply completely replace the damaged soil by moving the plants into new containers.

Kitchen sinks

If fruit flies have chosen shells for residence, Domestos, Mister Muscle or Mole come to the rescue. You can also simply periodically pour boiling water over the shells.

Knowing that fruit flies cannot tolerate cold, in the cool season you can easily get rid of them by thoroughly ventilating the house. Additionally, turn off heating appliances, open all kitchen cabinet doors wide and provide deep ventilation. The flies will quickly die from hypothermia. Then all that remains is to sweep them onto a dustpan and throw them away.

Expert opinion

Mityuk Stefania Bogdanovna

A regular mosquito fumigator does an excellent job of killing fruit flies. But the plate must first be treated in a solution with toxic substances.

Folk methods of struggle

From the entire list of folk recipes, we can highlight the following methods that have proven to be the most successful and effective:

Camphor

A very effective substance against fruit flies - they cannot tolerate camphor evaporation. To kill parasites, heat pieces of camphor in a frying pan until steam forms and walk around the rooms or garden with it.

Tomato tops

Plant tomato seedlings in the garden or on the windowsill. The flies cannot stand the pungent smell emanating from tomato tops and quickly die.

Essential oils of eucalyptus, anise and basil

These odors are also deadly to flies. The premises are scented taking into account the area - the consumption is 5-6 drops of essential oil per 15 m2 of room.

If flies plague you in the garden, plant bushes of myrtle, geranium, tansy or eucalyptus in the garden plot. The aroma of plants will repel fruit flies and get rid of annoying insects.

Original traps

Fighting tiny flies is a troublesome and time-consuming task. To minimize the loss of time, you can build special traps.

There are several options:

Traps with liquid . To obtain a bait mixture, sugar syrup and live yeast are used. The substances are mixed in equal proportions and diluted in a small amount of water. The resulting liquids are poured into wide containers (saucers, bowls, deep plates). Traps are placed in the garden or in the corners of rooms. Drosophila, attracted by the sweet smell, flock to the aroma and drown in the thick liquid. Instead of sugar and yeast, you can use any beer, sweet concentrated juice and honey water.
Vinegar traps . To make the bait, ordinary table vinegar is mixed with dishwashing liquid. The thick solution is poured into small wide glasses and placed indoors or in the garden on verandas and terraces. Every week the solution is changed to a fresh one, and the old one with the fruit flies that got into it is poured out.
Duct tape . You can buy them in almost any supermarket or hardware store. The adhesive tapes are removed from the packaging and carefully laid out or hung in the habitats of the flies. As fruit flies accumulate on the sticky layer, the traps are replaced with fresh ones. Sticky traps can also be made from double-sided tape. The adhesive tape is cut into fragments and attached to the places where fruit flies are detected using cardboard pieces.
Potassium permanganate . Such traps are more suitable for flower crops in which fly larvae are found in the soil. Potassium permanganate is diluted in water until a faint pink color is obtained. The surface of the soil in pots is treated with the solution. Antiseptic liquid completely destroys all larvae.
Traps with mechanics . It's easy to make them. A piece of sweet fruit or slightly overripe berries is placed in a small plastic cup. The top of the glass is covered with ordinary cling film, in which small holes are made. Drosophila flock to the bait, but are no longer able to fly out of the cup. If you don't have cling film on your household, you can use a rolled-up paper cone instead.

Predatory plants

Some plant crops are predators by nature and readily feed on various small insects, including fruit flies.

For example, at home you can plant:

Venus flytrap;
Zhiryanka;

Nepenthes;
Sundew;

Sarracenia.

These are indoor types of crops that will rid the premises not only of fruit flies, but also of flies and mosquitoes. When an insect lands on the leaves of such a crop, they slam shut, and the plant eats the victim entirely or sucks out nutrients from it.

Predatory plants are dangerous and poisonous to cats and dogs. Keep this in mind when choosing this option for combating fruit flies.

How to choose a mosquito repellent

Regardless of which repellent you choose to buy, remember that it must be safe for you and your immediate environment. Therefore, pay attention to several selection criteria - the manufacturer’s prescription, the type of drug, the duration of the protective effect and the degree of toxicity.

Purpose

Pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions on where the product can be used. There are compositions that will help in the house, country house or apartment (fumigators), as well as those that are only allowed outdoors - in nature or in the garden (sprays, aerosols). Another important indicator is the purpose against which types of insects the active substance will be active (midges, flies, mosquitoes, aphids, moths, etc.).

Product type

All drugs for sale against midges and other blood-sucking insects can be divided according to the type of work:

repellents - wipes, ointments, lotions or sprays are applied directly to the skin or clothing before going outside;
fumigators are special emulsions that, when heated, release an odor that poisons flying arthropods; these can also be plates or spirals impregnated with toxic substances.

The first type, as is already clear from the description, is intended for protection outdoors, the second - indoors.

Duration of protective effect

The time of repellent action depends on several factors: the protective properties of the active component, its concentration, application features, type of product, insect aggressiveness. Carefully inspect the label, it should indicate the terms, for example, “protects for more than 4 hours on the skin” or “works for up to 2 hours in low pest populations.”

Safety

Toxicity level is the most important selection criterion. Remember that all repellents must be supported by a certificate of government registration. Only drugs approved for sale are included in the register of disinfectants of the Russian Federation. Pay attention to the composition, its origin, concentration. The manufacturer indicates contraindications for most. Follow the precautions for use indicated on the label.

How it penetrates indoors and where it lives in nature

At the first warming, hordes of these small insects begin to swarm busily in homes. The abundance of available food pushes them to rapid reproduction and population growth.

Flies find themselves inside a house/apartment in various ways:

through purchased vegetables or fruits, which contain microscopic larvae;
through open windows (even mosquito nets do not help - their cells are too large to prevent the passage of flies);
through garden soil, which is used for planting indoor flowers;
an open aquarium with fish with rare water changes;
through pet fur after walks.

Drosophila feed on juice from vegetables, fruits, and wood from garden trees. These insects live en masse in gardens and vineyards. They can be found in wine cellars and factory warehouses for processing vegetables and fruits.

In open space, fruit flies can reproduce only at temperatures above +16⁰C.

Drosophila are attracted to decaying products, and the vinegary smell of decomposition calls them to such places. If a pet lives in the house, and its feeder is not cleaned regularly, then the remains of rotting food become an excellent habitat and breeding place for flies.

The population is rapidly increasing in the presence of favorable factors:

poor house cleaning and hygiene;
dirty dishes lying in the sink for a long time;
leftover food on plates;
crumbs and greasy marks on the dining table;
a lot of unwashed bottles of sweet drinks and wines;

old tea leaves in an open container;
excessive watering of plants and stagnant water in trays and flowerpots;
when storing fruit outside the refrigerator;
a long-standing trash bin.

Eliminating causes depending on the type of midges

Different pests require different approaches.

Drosophila in fruit

Throw away all spoiled fruits, vegetables and fermented berries.
Get rid of all fruits that are in doubt, as they could come into contact with midges and become carriers of insect larvae.
Conduct an audit of all available products and carefully check their expiration dates.
In the room with “tenants”, do a thorough cleaning using household chemicals.
It is advisable to install anti-mosquito nets with a minimum mesh on the windows.

Humpbacks in pipes

It is necessary to make sure that the communication systems (sewage, drainage and water supply) are in good order: there are no leaks, rotten areas (on metal risers), accumulation of debris and mucus in the siphons of kitchen sinks and bathtubs, etc.
Carry out work to eliminate problems with pipes using cleaning and disinfection products.
To repel or kill insects, use insecticide sprays.
At least once a week, use special gels or other cleaning products to treat drains.
Carry out preventive treatments regularly.

Fungus gnats in indoor plants

Check the flower soil for its moisture level and change the plant watering schedule.
Make sure that each pot has proper drainage.
Partially or completely replace the soil, pre-treating it with appropriate fungicides.
Use mineral fertilizers produced by industry, following the manufacturer's recommendations.
Periodically treat plants with special chemical compounds.

Where do fruit flies come from in an apartment?

The first step is to find the reason for the appearance of flies in your apartment. There may be several of them, but the most common is litter in the room. A berry that has rolled under the table, sticky spots on the tablecloth, or a trash can that is not emptied on time are also causes of fruit flies. Drosophila perfectly sense where exactly there is enough food for them, and fly to the smell, and then even settle in grain-rich places. And as soon as you leave a half-eaten apple on the table or don’t wash the dishes, some fly will definitely fly in for the treat.

But even if you keep your kitchen clean, this is not a guarantee that fruit flies will not appear in it. Unclean neighbors, clogged sewers, excessively wet soil for indoor plants, uneaten food for animals - all this attracts them. These small flies enter your home thanks to your pets or straight from the store.

In addition, cereals should be poured into separate containers to avoid moisture, and carefully examined for eggs that have already been laid. Perishable foods should be stored in the refrigerator, and fruits on the table should be fresh: it is better not to add one apple than to throw out the entire fruit plate. And, of course, you need to throw out all the garbage and rinse the trash can with disinfectant.

Effective means for getting rid of fruit flies

If homemade traps do not bring noticeable results, you can resort to the help of sticky fly tape, which is sold in every supermarket. Attach adhesive tape in the area where midges are most concentrated.

If you need an immediate effect, then use an insecticide aerosol, for example Dichlorvos, Raptor, Combat. Spray the spray in areas where flies accumulate, after removing food or covering it. After treatment, be sure to ventilate the room.

With these simple tips, you can prevent flies from appearing in your home, but if they do take up residence in your home, you will know how to deal with them.

Prevention methods: how to prevent the spread of midges in the house

In order not to have to study what a fruit fly trap is and how to make it yourself with parallel instructions on the use of insecticides in the house, you need to try to prevent the appearance and reproduction of insects. It's actually not difficult.

It will be enough to regularly empty the refrigerator and the kitchen as a whole of stale food, prevent the appearance of rot and mold in the room, and throw out garbage on time.

If the house is located in close proximity to landfills or garbage dumps, simple homemade traps, mosquito nets on windows and plants on window sills with an aroma that is unacceptable to insects will help as a preventative measure.

It seems like midges are absolutely harmless insects. Not so! Clouds of flies swarming in a living room look unpleasant and cause a justified feeling of disgust, especially when they attack pots of jam, compote or fruit lying in a vase, as well as the walls and ceiling of the house.

Fruit flies or fruit flies do not materialize out of nowhere. Usually their appearance is provoked by berries, vegetables, and fruits that begin the process of rotting. Even if a couple of berries roll under the cabinet, this may be enough for an invasion of flying insects. Failure to keep the house clean and tidy, sloppy, untidy neighbors - all this can also be the cause of the appearance of fruit flies.
