How to eliminate paederus

1. Mobilize the masses to remove rotten wood, garbage and weeds around houses and destroy the habitat and breeding ground of paederus. Don't pile up waste materials indoors, keep the room clean and tidy, so that there is no hiding place for paederus invading the room. Units that need to work at night in summer should install screen doors and screens to prevent night-time insects (including paederus) from flying indoors and reduce the chance of human contact with paederus.

2. When summer comes, spraying pyrethroid insecticides such as kaisulin or fendina indoors can effectively kill the indoor flying paederus within 2 ~ 3 months.

3. Avoid opening the window and turning on the light to sleep in midsummer, which can effectively prevent paederus from crawling around and hurting people after falling asleep, causing dermatitis.
