Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

Yes, no, fake it. In old houses, they often meet. They do not bring much harm, they eat all sorts of rubbish (dust of centuries ) behind the baseboards, in the crevices of the floor...

15.03.2010 1:13, IrinaNau

They don't do much harm

Can I tell you more?

thank you very much
Now I know who I'm dealing with ))
but how can they be taken out of the apartment?

Yes, actually, if the building is really old, it's not so easy to bring them out. Applying "chemistry" is more expensive (more harmful) for yourself. Humidity in the room should be reduced as much as possible, and cleaning should be done more often. Change the floor (oak parquet! ) I won't advise you, although it might help.

not optimistic of course
I noticed that their appearance is really associated with increased humidity in the room.
And I don't find much information about them on the Internet.

Such an insect regularly appears at home:(picture below)

(I apologize for the quality, I took a picture on my phone as soon as I had time )
Moreover, it appears all year round. Sizes from one to 6-7 cm. Aggression does not show, of course) But the suspicion crept in that it was poisonous. I already threw out a couple of such things, after that redness appeared on my hand. And the itch is small.
14, in my opinion, pairs of legs. The speed of movement is very high. Runs all over the house, there is no favorite place.
What are their names, where can they nest, so to speak, and how can they be bred?

I see, thanks)
I read about them. Useful, of course, but "annoying". Can you tell me how to withdraw it?

And why? Take pity on them.

16.03.2010 12:18, Manifica

And why? Have pity on them.

Let's see how they behave
Isn't this strange for Kiev? Like, in the Crimea and the Caucasus are found...where it's warm. Yes, and appeared after repairs 2 years ago.

Please help me determine what kind of bug it is. We live in a newly built wooden house. These little things keep coming from somewhere....they don't seem to be like woodworms, but we are very interested in the question of where they came from and whether they will leave on their own or whether they need to be driven away somehow. Because I'm tired of sweeping their corpses several times every day and going to play the role of a big sneaker...

Don't be confused by the odd number of legs. There are 6 of them like usually...The size of the beetles is no larger than the fingernail on the little finger.

Slepnyak? some kind. Don't worry: these beetles (this is a bug, not a beetle) are absolutely harmless to humans, they just wintered in your house, and in the summer you will often meet them on flowers . Why should I push them once again?

27.03.2010 18:32, Варвара

27.03.2010 18:47, vasiliy-feoktistov

Well, you know...when every two minutes such a bug runs past you on the floor/wall/furniture, even if it is small and harmless, it is somehow unpleasant...I would like to get rid of them all the same. Please tell me how to do this.

ps whitewashed the apple tree.I met the exact same one in the tree. Why don't they all move out of the house and into the tree? =)

You chose the right technique: let's take all nature with a SNEAKER, eh ? If you want to live in nature, and not in the "stone jungle" - please agree! It is necessary to fight really harmful insects
P.S. What have they done to you? Are you the only ones who are so wonderful in nature? Do your nearest and harmless neighbors have no right to live?
Don't worry-it will get warmer and they will try to leave you by themselves

28.03.2010 18:08, Варвара

I knew you'd say that...
I do not mind nature at all and I understand that living not in an apartment from beetles-spiders can not escape. Especially since we built a house in the place where they used to live before us. But they also run into bed. And you probably wouldn't be happy about that either.
I really hope that they will leave on their own, but I highly doubt it.

Is there anything we can do to speed up their departure? Without using poisons and other nasty things...

Yes, the fact is that they live =)
As we moved there for the New Year, we still live with them...

So it was the bedbugs who entered first

Help identify the animal!
Less than 1 mm in size.It moves fast.Is it dangerous for pet budgies?

Please respond to those who identified this

Hello everyone
Please help us determine the species of these beetles, as well as the habitat of their larvae. They have bred in huge numbers and prevent my wife from living in peace. As soon as I catch them and feed them to someone, new ones appear. I have exactly one week to deal with this disaster, otherwise I will be kicked out of the house, along with all my animals

Details:
Beetles started appearing at the end of winter, and there are currently piles of them. Today I caught about half a hundred, 20 pieces still crawling in different places.
Blaberuses and archimandrites live in open boxes in the kitchen.
There are houseplants on the window. There are cereals in the cabinets (I checked, I didn't find any larvae).

I enclose the photo.

UPD: More photos and videos posted on the blog - http://zookrug.net/blog/claus/527

You saved my life!
I looked in the bean bags, and there!..
I'm sorry I didn't find any maggots. Does it look like they're seasonal?
In addition, as in beans (probably in peas can be), they are still able to live somewhere?

That's what I'm talking about
And the maggots are inside the beans, but they probably all came out. All at once )
No, this one is only in beans.
