Sometimes a person suddenly discovers small flying insects in his home. Moreover, these midges can be different in appearance: gray, red, white, black. It's time to think about whether they are dangerous, whether they bite, and how to get rid of them. These questions are easy to answer by understanding which small flying insects most often appear in a house or apartment.
Drosophila are small insects of the fruit fly family. Small size, easy breeding, short life cycle made Drosophila indispensable as an object of study for genetic scientists. Drosophila also have popular names: vinegar, wine, fruit fly.
These insects live next to a person, because here they find their food, which is rotten berries, fruits, sour juices.
The length of the insect is 1.5–3 mm, the wings are longer than the body.
The eyes are red, and the insect itself has a yellow-brown color.
Drosophila breed very quickly. In just 10 days, development from an egg to an adult takes place. The very next day after the appearance of the pupa, Drosophila lays eggs, and in her life she can lay up to 2 thousand eggs. With such a breeding rate, fruit flies quickly win back space in the apartment, and although they are quite harmless and do not bite, confused tenants urgently look for effective ways to get rid of them.
It is believed that fruit flies are not carriers of diseases, but the very flickering of these flies before our eyes is unpleasant.
Where do fruit flies come from? They cannot fly from afar, because these midges fly no more than 180 meters a day. The most common reason for the appearance of fruit flies, biologists call fruits and vegetables brought home, on which there are already eggs of these insects. As soon as the fruit begins to deteriorate and rot, larvae appear from the eggs, and flies from the larvae.
Drosophila can be brought into the house with soil for planting houseplants. Adult flies emerge from eggs and larvae in the ground. They breed especially actively when the flowers are waterlogged and the soil is acidic.
It is theoretically possible to get rid of fruit flies by simply doing a thorough cleaning and depriving them of food, but this can take a long time.
Microscopic white insects on indoor flowers are malicious pests of whitefly plants.
They may arrive with new indoor flower or fly in from the street. These small insects lay their eggs on the underside of leaves. Hatching whiteflies suck out the juice, and leave sugary secretions behind. The leaves of the plant are deformed and then fall off along with the flower buds.
Pests reproduce extremely quickly and are extremely tenacious. If you do not start the fight against the whitefly on time, indoor flowers will die. It especially damages begonia, fuchsia, balsam.
adults sciarids(flower midge or mushroom mosquito, or soil mosquito) are black insects about 3–4 mm long.
They lay their eggs among the roots of plants. Mosquitoes themselves do not cause much harm, but their larvae, which are worms up to 5 mm long, are very dangerous for flowers. The larvae eat the roots of the plant, causing it to die.
Flower midges get into a house with soil infected with larvae. They might as well fly out the window. These insects are often found in damp basements of houses, and from there they make their way through ventilation. Midges may be interested food waste, rotten fruits and vegetables.
Sciarids do not bite, but they must be fought, otherwise they will destroy all indoor flowers.
Butterflies (sewer flies) are small insects up to 2 mm long.
The larvae of these insects and pupae live in sewer pipes Oh, and they feed on decaying organic matter. Adults have wings and a body covered with hairs. One butterfly clutch contains up to hundreds of eggs. There can be a lot of infection on the paws of these unpleasant insects. In addition, cases of allergy to butterflies are known.
Butterflies themselves can also be food for spiders and other large insects that will appear in the house if the sewer fly is not exterminated.
There are also special means, which can be used to combat fruit flies, as well as other insects.
You can use some kind of insecticide in the form of an aerosol or fly plates, but in the kitchen where the products are located, this is not desirable. It is better to use sticky traps and tapes.
The easiest and most harmless way to kill whiteflies is to manually remove insects from houseplants. To do this, it is necessary to remove the leaves infected with the whitefly, and loosen the soil in the pot. The whole plant must be treated with a soapy solution.
Sticky tapes can be placed near indoor plants: adult whiteflies will stick to them.
Since the whitefly loves to live in the shade on the underside of the leaves, you can scare it away with light: put sheets of foil near the flowers. The sun's rays are reflected on bottom side leaves, where this pest lives.
If one of the indoor plants is most affected by the whitefly, then it may be better to donate it and not distribute it. dangerous insect to other flowers.
Make an infusion of yarrow. Add a couple of tablespoons of dishwashing liquid to it. Treat the leaves of affected plants with this composition.
The use of insecticides in a residential area should be treated with extreme caution. The most popular are aktara and aktellik. It is required to strictly follow the instructions for the use of such tools.
In the bathroom, a butterfly (sewer fly) may appear near the drains. This insect is attracted to trash cans, clogged plums in the bathtub and sink.
From here follow the methods of dealing with this disgusting insect.

And also the bites of such insects are sometimes sensitive and can cause an allergic reaction.
In addition, the traces of such midges in the apartment are small dots of dark color, the products of their vital activity, which are found on window glasses, mirrors, light wallpaper and ceilings, also few people will enjoy.
You learned about the danger of these insects, now let's move on to common and effective methods their destruction.
We list the main and most common ways to get rid of these insects.
The listed methods are rather recommendations for preventing the appearance of midges. And if they have already multiplied, then how to get rid of them in this case? And proven folk methods will come to our aid.
Having got rid of midges in the kitchen, now you should be especially careful about cleanliness in your apartment, and especially food. Timely washing dirty dishes, removing rotten food, cleaning the rag near the sink - these actions are quite simple and are often performed automatically. And their benefits are great. After all, compliance with the most simple rules preserving the freshness of products will avoid the appearance of small insects in your apartment and especially in the kitchen.
Regularly cleaning our house, we often cannot understand where midges come from in our home (they are also called Drosophila).
Often they can be found in the kitchen, as it is in it that food is easiest to find.
The midge prefers fruits and vegetables and loves to settle in flowerpots and greenery on the windowsills, which very quickly begins to fade from such "guests".
In addition, midges can harm not only products or favorite flowerpots, but also a person, since their bite can provoke the development of allergies or other skin irritations.
Where do they come from and how to get rid of midges? - this question does not lose its relevance to this day among people who had to face them.
Before studying all the methods of getting rid of this unpleasant phenomenon, it is necessary to determine the main types of midges and the sources of their occurrence in the apartment.
Often they appear in places with elevated level dampness or in food that has deteriorated and the process of decay has begun in them. As we know, food spoils the fastest in the hot season, so do not forget to put them in the refrigerator. Drosophila are always on the lookout for a favorable indoor environment, and fruit is always a favorite for them. good place dislocations, even unripe ones. As the fruits begin to sing, midges will begin to breed in them.
Another favorite place of the settlement is garbage or a bucket of garbage. Therefore, when throwing out the bin, pay attention to whether there is any moisture left on its bottom, as this is an excellent source of food for fruit flies. Also, midges often appear in the sewer if food remains are stuck in it.
Quite often, Drosophila start up in indoor plants. They gnaw through their roots, and the plants begin to rot. However, even if you keep your home clean, midges can fly to you from neighboring apartments.
Depending on the location of taste preferences, Drosophila are divided into several types.
1. Food. This type of Drosophila prefers to settle in products (cereals, vegetables, food waste). They can be of different colors, most often you can find burgundy and black colors. This type of midges is the easiest to get rid of, all that is needed is to regularly monitor the cleanliness of the room, that is, remove the trash bucket, crumbs from the table and so on in time. Often after a general cleaning in the apartment given type the midges disappear.
2. Clothes. This type of fruit fly settles, as a rule, in stale things, and it can be not only ordinary clothes fruit flies, but also larvae. Getting rid of them is quite difficult, it is much easier to prevent their occurrence. To do this, put a few tablets with the smell of lavender, dry walnut leaves or special insect flavors sold in hardware stores in the closet.
3. Water. And the last type of midges appear mainly in places where moisture accumulates (kitchen, bathroom, bath). This is the most unpleasant type of fruit flies, since it is quite difficult to remove excess moisture from the above places, and it is in them that they feel as comfortable as possible. In order for the water flies to become smaller, you need to monitor the humidity in the rooms, avoid damp corners and regularly ventilate the rooms. To completely get rid of water midges, you need to use effective folk remedies, which we will discuss in more detail below, or insect aerosols.
So from general information about fruit flies, we go directly to the process of getting rid of them. First of all, you need to inspect all kitchen cabinets and other places where food is stored. If there are foods that you are not going to throw away yet, they should be thoroughly washed and dried. If your home has basement or a pantry, then they need to be cleaned up, because from there fruit flies can also fly into the house.
After carrying out general cleaning in all of the above rooms, be sure to treat them with an insect spray. How Alternative option you can use a special fumigator.
The use of a fumigator is very effective in the fight against house midge and allows you to eliminate it within a few hours. If pets live in your apartment, their bowls also need to be thoroughly washed and cleaned of food debris. Dirty dishes left in the sink or a wet rag are the environment in which fruit flies breed. And most importantly, do not leave food open on the table, especially fruits and vegetables.
Another place where midges can start is a balcony. To prevent this from happening, you need to install mosquito nets on the windows so that they do not fly in from the street. If fruit flies are still wound up on your balcony, first inspect everything possible locations their favorable existence, then apply dichlorvos, acting strictly according to the instructions.
Many people struggle with the midge folk remedies. Let's look at the most popular tools.
1. Take a 0.5 liter jar and leave a fruit with foulbrood at its bottom. Then cover it with cling film, having previously made several holes in it. After a while, the midges will flock to the smell of spoiled fruit and climb inside. However, they will no longer be able to get out of it, since there will be cling film on the jar. After the Drosophila in the jar has accumulated a sufficient amount, simply pour boiling water into it and drain it into the toilet. Repeat the procedure until you have caught all the midges.
2. Use an ordinary vacuum cleaner and catch fruit flies with it. After that, remove the container from it and shake it out in a place far from home.
3. For this method, we need crushed camphor and a frying pan. Pour camphor into a heated pan and wait until steam appears. When it arises, remove the hot pan from the heat and slowly walk through all the rooms where there may be fruit flies. The fact is that midges are afraid of this smell, but it will not cause any harm to a person.
4. Take a glass with any pleasant-smelling liquid, it can be compote, jelly or wine. After that, add a few drops of detergent to it and put it in a place where fruit flies appear most often. Detergent will help reduce the surface tension of water, and insects will quickly drown in a glass.
One of the favorite places for a room midge is indoor flowers. Of course, if you quickly determine the appearance of fruit flies in flowers, then this problem can be solved quite quickly. However, if insects have long settled and bred in your indoor plants, then prepare for a long and hard fight against them.
It is necessary to deal with treatment and processing of all indoor plants at once, because Drosophila breed very quickly and could lay eggs in several flower pots. Below we will give all the main remedies for dealing with room midge in flowers, but none of them is a panacea for all cases, therefore desired method must be selected for each individual case.
1. Prepare a solution of potassium permanganate and water with a small concentration to avoid burning the flower roots. From time to time, water and spray the flower with such a solution, and you will soon notice how much fewer insects have become.
2. Take a soap or soda solution and treat the window sills with it. This will create the necessary alkaline environment, which midges do not like very much. You can also use a weak solution with laundry soap for watering flowers.
3. After watering, take a short pause so that the earth is completely dry from moisture.
4. Pour some ash into the soil. In addition to killing insects, this will also help fertilize the soil.
5. Lay a few freshly cut orange peels on the surface of the soil and lightly sprinkle them with earth.
6. Drosophila can't stand the smell of garlic. Cut a few cloves into slices and lay cut side down on the substrate. In some cases, more effective way is the use of garlic infusion. It is prepared like this: take a head of garlic, chop it, and pour a liter of boiling water over it. Leave the mixture for 3 hours to infuse. After that, water and spray flowers with it from time to time.
7. Another fairly popular tool to help get rid of midges in flowers are matches. Take 4-5 matches and stick them into the ground gray down. After a while, take out the matches if sulfur is gone on them.
Each of the above methods is aimed at combating larvae in flowers. However, there is no point in exterminating the larvae without fighting the adult midges. To do this, hang sticky tape near the flower pots. You can also use citramon. Dissolve half a tablet in three liters of water and water the flowers with this mixture.
Another effective way to get rid of Drosophila is the method of removing the top layer of the substrate, which must be noticed on a layer of sand with potassium. This will create one protective layer, which will not allow insects to get to the flower roots.
However, all these methods are effective only on early stages insect control. If the situation worsened, it is necessary to use "heavy artillery" - chemical agents.
If folk ways described above turned out to be ineffective, use special chemicals that can quickly and effectively destroy insects.
In stores selling flowers, you can find a whole list of chemicals aimed at combating fruit flies. Before making a choice, consult with the sellers, they will help you choose the most suitable effective remedy.
Do not forget that when working with a chemical solution, follow all safety rules and precautions. To do this, before using them, you need to study the instructions well and be sure to use a bathrobe, goggles and a respirator. Also keep away from children and pets.
After processing has been completed, open all windows and repeat the same procedure on fresh air. At the same time, it is necessary to separate the infected from healthy plants, otherwise you will need to process all the flowers.
The presence of fruit flies in an apartment is not a very pleasant phenomenon, which is sometimes not so easy to get rid of. Therefore, we bring to your attention a few recommendations that will prevent the occurrence of these insects in your apartment:

If the answer is yes, and you are trying to create coziness in the apartment with the help of green friends, then you should be aware that not only you will admire them, but also the unfortunate midges.
They use the soil of indoor flowers to lay their larvae. In the future, these larvae will feed on the roots of flowers, which will cause an irreversible process of decay and slow wilting of plants.
If midges fly over indoor flowers, then do not rush to say goodbye to your green friend. It is necessary to determine what could affect their occurrence. The most common cases:

They are very active, constantly jumping on the sheets of a green friend. Their delayed larvae can cause irreparable damage to the root system of a home plant. White midges on indoor flowers mainly appear in winter or early spring, when moisture does not evaporate very quickly from the surface of the earth.
In addition to white pests, black midges can also start. Sciarids are small midges that obtrusively fly over green spaces. For humans, they are harmless, but cause great discomfort, as they fly throughout the living space, constantly falling into plates of food and cups of tea. But for plants and soil, they are very dangerous.
A large number of larvae can cause damage to the root system of the flower, as well as make the ground airtight and denser. If you saw translucent worms 2-5 mm long in the ground. with a black dot on the head, then these are sciarids.
Black midges in flowers can appear if you prefer to fertilize the plants with folk remedies, such as tea leaves, rotted leaves, or other organic matter. You can also introduce pests by using non-disinfected soil for transplanting flowers.
Experienced flower growers claim that not all varieties of flowers attack midges. For example, springtails prefer plants with soft leaves such as: fuchsias, begonias, etc. Sciarids, on the contrary, take root at the roots of plants with dense leaves: violets, azaleas, ficuses, and others. 
There are three main reasons why midges start in flowers:
There are two types of midges in pots with indoor plants: black and white. Black midges appear in flower pots that are watered with tea leaves and other folk fertilizers. Due to their coloration, black midges are inconspicuous, and you can sometimes notice them only when there are enough of them and they begin to fly over pots of flowers.
White midges are very mobile, and their larvae can seriously damage the root system of the plant. White flies are easy to spot. 
As soon as midges are noticed, you need to immediately start fighting them, otherwise they will move to neighboring pots and, in the end, infect all the plants in the room.
Most effective way to remove midges in indoor flowers is to change the soil in a pot. At the same time, the roots of the plant must be washed, the pot should be disinfected. But such a procedure injures the roots of the plant, so it’s better to first try to get rid of midges in another way, including you can try to get rid of midges in indoor flowers with folk remedies (more on that below).

Instruction 1. Using folk remedies
Step 1. Let the soil dry after the last watering so that at least 2 cm of the top layer is dry.
Step 2. Catch all adults. You can do this with:
Homemade flower bug trap
Step 3. So, we got rid of the adult egg-laying midges, now we need to cultivate the land to get rid of the larvae. To do this, loosen the dried soil and water the plant with one of the following folk remedies: 
Instruction 2. Using insecticides and creating a "toxic greenhouse"
This method is efficient, economical and, if done correctly, safe for humans and plants. With it, you can kill both larvae and adults.
Step 1. Wait until the soil is dry after the last watering.
Also see our other articles:
Step 2 Gently loosen the ground.
Step 3. Put the plant pot in an ordinary bag, spray a little Dichlorvos into the soil and tie the bag tightly so that only the pot is completely covered. After 4-5 hours, the midges in the ground should die. 
Step 4. Hang special or homemade traps so that the remaining midges that did not fall under the package sit on them.
Step 5. Repeat the procedure after 8 days to eliminate the possibility of reappearance of midges.
If there are a lot of larvae in the soil, and you are sure that the plant will survive the transplant, then it is best to do this by transplanting the flower into new, previously cultivated soil.
To do this: loosen the soil and carefully pull it out, then manually or with a small brush clean the roots of the infected soil, then quickly rinse the roots with water or one of the above home remedies and finally, transplant the plant into a clean pot with uninfected soil. To prepare the land, it must be calcined in the oven at a temperature of 100-120 degrees for 1 hour, and then restore the microflora with some kind of fertilizer.
To get rid of the whitefly, you also need to carry out comprehensive measures for the destruction of adult insects and larvae 3-4 times with an interval of one week.
Damage inflicted: whiteflies themselves do not harm the plant, but because of their feces on lower leaves soot fungi may appear, which can severely damage the flower. In addition, white midges can infect the plant with a viral infection. On the right is a photo of a leaf affected by white-winged.
Step 1. First you need to catch all adult flies. You can do this in the following ways:
Step 2. Once most of the adult whiteflies have been caught, take the plant to the bathroom and wash the leaves of the remaining insects, eggs and nymphs.
Step 3. Now treat the plant by watering and spraying with solutions from systemic insecticides("Aktellik", "Confidor", "Mospilan" or "Fufanon"), and then create a "toxic greenhouse" by closing the plant in plastic bag for 4-5 hours.
Step 4. If desired, transplant the plant into uninfected soil, and discard the infected soil.
There is another way to kill whiteflies in indoor flowers. If the infected plant is able to tolerate temperatures below 14 degrees, then just leave it in such coolness for a week or a little more. Unable to withstand the low temperature, the whitefly and its larvae will die.
