How to get rid of caddisfly imagoes?

Related question: in the evenings on the site it is impossible to be outdoors. Caddisfly (butterflies) simply overcomes, flies in huge flocks, climbs everywhere. Can you somehow scare them off or lime them? Near a pond, apparently flying from there

There are many options: fill up the reservoir with DDT, create a curtain of dichlorvos around the house, buy a know-how from the bourgeoisie - a laser fence against mosquitoes (just change the settings so that not only mosquitoes are fired, but everything that flies). Of course, this was bad advice. And now the useful ones: get some small domestic insectivorous animals (songbirds, lizards, frogs, and even ants), as well as get addicted to fishing with bombard. Then this invasion will be perceived by you not as a curse, but as a blessing. In general, their summer periods are short, and everything will end soon (unless, of course, there are not a dozen species still waiting in line).

..these were bad advice. And now the useful ones: get some small domestic insectivorous animals...yes, even ants...

This is a very useful tip for a suburban area: the same Lasius(s) - they will also breed aphids at the same time - then the owner will be happy... lol.gif

I was referring to keeping ants in formicariums.

The Oka River - wink.giftheir hordes, millions of them, will not give up so easily... And that the decline does not go with time. The frog will burst from overeatingsmile.gif, maybe spray the trees and grass with something that they would not want to hide in them, or immediately ruin. There are not enough fish in the river to eat so much bait wink.gif

Uh-huh, another "fan of ecological recreation": spray chemicals all around so that it doesn't move. And how many other organisms will die in this case, how communities will suffer, what losses will be incurred by a neighboring beekeeper, whose bees will feed on sprayed flowers, what will happen to the water in the river where all this will eventually flow-this is all irrelevant to you? And I understand, if it were mosquitoes or midges, it would be harmless caddis flies. That's how nature will be ruined in the end...

I pay attention to the first point: scare away.
There are no beekeepers in the area, if anything.
If possible, let's do it in substance, without sentimentality and loud slogans.
At the expense of harmlessness is also a controversial option. Have you ever picked this harmless caddis fly out of your own ear while it's hysterically beating against your eardrum? Cool attraction, I must admit. Although in their place could be anyone, but we have just caddiswoods all flooded. Literally after a hundred meters, they are almost gone, which means that they like something too much on our site or do not like what is a little further away.

Yes, I understand - and catching caddisfly imagos for feeding them. In formicariums. wink.gif
Come on, don't be fooled - it's a joke.
And so, the panic about the summer of harmless caddis flies and the search for methods of their destruction are ridiculous in themselves, as well as entomophobia in general in extreme forms of its manifestation.

Just like that, sometimes you really go out of your way to find convenient food for large families of ants. especially if you don't want to go anywhere to mow or raise someone. And then I turned on the lamp - and you can stock up for the whole winter at a time (in the freezer). Paradise is simple. And for fishing for floating bait (fly fishing or with bombardment) caddis fly is just the perfect insect. It does not sink after casting, like a high-quality dry fly, so the bite is always clearly visible. But only bites immeasurably better than on the fly. In general, I would have such problems.

As they say: you are welcome! If you pick them all up, I'll be happy to. Can you open a business to supply frozen food for ants and fishermen? Will you take it? wink.gif

I will, but only with delivery.
