Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

Well, the cells in the sink are quite large. So "Saduria entomon" will get through safely. But they found him dead, of course, but still warm.

This crustacean periodically comes across in sprat, especially loose, in a wonderful spicy salt. True, it is somewhat not alive. but in general, it is very flexible.

Wild Yuri, the termites that live here, well, sooo unlikely to be in grody! These are steppe termites that live in the roots of special plant species, some of which are umbellate to mine.

Or maybe it's Pharaoh's ants

captolabrus, a good version Indeed, could wash the fish and left something like this in the sink.

This is from personal experience, it was in the sprat bought by weight that I discovered such a creature. I was very happy and even wanted to ask the saleswoman to let me inspect their stocks for finding such animals. But they would hardly have understood me.

Chu, I would rummage, despite the sideways glances, although, probably)))
I regularly buy gobies for my snakes, so the saleswomen are shocked by my requests to allow me to rummage and choose the smallest ones - and they allow it Well, it's clear, it's profitable for them, there will be less small fish))

I don't know about termites in our cities - I haven't seen them. And in nature, for example, in the Kherson region, they are quite often found in various dry fallen trees and dry stumps, and not at all in the "roots of special plant species".

Well, I was told that they live in the roots of some plants, these are their favorite places for creating colonies, but I forgot which plants. It looks like St. John's wort, but it also looks like some umbrella plants.

But the fact is that in the Mykolaiv region they are also often found in trash cans.. but they never live there for long, and with the onset of more or less warm weather, they go somewhere. Yes, and the uterus, as I understand it, in these rotten and wooden pieces is not present.

I was not talking about "rotten", but about quite strong dry wood. Well, about the "warm weather" - I found them in the same place in July, as you know, it is difficult to find warmer weather there. Well, I didn't specifically look for females, I don't know.

Good afternoon. 18th floor.
after the flood, there were beetles in the wallpaper below and in the shower.
semi-transparent, light gray, less than a millimeter in size.
after removing the lower part of the wallpaper on the walls in the room, I stopped noticing them.
However, they periodically appear in the shower near the drain hole of the pan. Under the shower there is a pedestal made of foam blocks. perhaps inside the pedestal under the shower tray there was dampness and mold spread. there is no way to disassemble the pallet right now, and I don't really want to. beetles don't bother me much, I just wonder who they are.

The firewood was brought for the bathhouse, so they were exhausted. In Primorye from them what only does not climb, in sheds of local residents. Once a local beekeeper caught even a callipogon, from an elm stump brought to get tinder!

Mom lives in a private house, and something bites her (according to her, it tingles), leaving red dots with a diameter of 1-2 mm on the body at a sufficiently large distance from each
other (not that it does not itch and does not hurt). You can't see them with an unarmed eye. He says that if you spread out a black rag, then by morning white dots with a diameter of 1-2 mm appear on it, which after braking with a nail, jump back 1.5-2.5 cm. and during the day, they fly in the air, settling on clothes, furniture, etc. (they can be observed everywhere). Cleaning with fright does twice a day, does not help. It was supposed to be a dust mite, but it doesn't bite and leaves no traces. Applied to kozhdispanser not that did not find, and in epidstantsiyu demand proofs. We don't know what to fight or how to fight. There is an assumption that the barn mite (flour), but do not know what to use to get rid of. Help those who understand what we are talking about, write down what it is and how to deal with it.

I think it's definitely not ticks if they fly.

And siptomam similar to bedbugs, bedbugs - it's cool!

And on the rag can dandruff remain or some other dust )))

Where does he live, in what city?

It can be bedbugs , but they don't jump
, or it can be fleas, but they jump much further, and it
can also be ticks, but again they don't jump, and they don't fly.
It is possible that this is something psycho-somatic...

A complex case. Send a photo of the place or at least a drawing.

hello.
we live in an apartment on the 5th floor. at the end of last fall, they put down a cat that was very ill and had fleas at that time of the disease, but they did not bite people. then they got a new cat in a month and a half. and so, just 1.5-2 months ago, some insects began to bite us, or rather, we have never seen who bites, but the bites resemble flea bites - they are not very irritated like mosquitoes, and often, especially recently, there can be up to 6-7 bites on a small area of the skin at once. in general, it happens that there are just a lot of bites, as I have now, and it happens that there are no bites at all. the cat also goes scratching, but not very often. because no one has seen who bites, suspicions also fell on some small midges, which I think got into the flowers and now divorced like never before. I've noticed them before, too, but I don't remember them biting, although maybe they did. if there are fleas, then the idea is that they came from the entrance, where a street cat was hanging around right next to our door at one time. in general, "don't know who" has now become very itchy, so I decided to write here to find out what it can be and how to deal with it

On the new cat bred fleas. Inspect it. Flower "midges" do not bite.

+1 to fleas
wash your cat with anti-flea shampoo a couple of times and don't let him go outside again

we looked at the cat more than once, but did not find anything. he never went outside. well, they bite more of us than the cat)

In the apartment there were such insects, 3-4 mm in length, fly. Help me identify it.

Zernovka, possibly bean. Check your bean stocks.

Thanks! I'll at least know where to find them!

Only the photo of the object will give an answer. Or at least a detailed description of it.

Fleas can hide in crevices for quite a long time and then attack animals and people. Their larvae also develop there. Well, "flower midges", most likely Sciaridae, do not bite.

And an anti-flea collar will not be superfluous to wear.

so we've never seen what it is. I noticed that even if you take out bed linen and your clothes in the cold, there are no bites at first. for almost 2 days now, no one has been biting.

the midges turned out to be Sciaridae. Thanks)

so. well, let's say it's fleas. if you put a collar on a cat, the fleas will leave the cat. but they bite us, too. there was even a case once when I was climbing around the basement and picked up a couple of fleas there, which started biting me outside the house and only when I was in the apartment, then they started biting the cat as well. What should I do then? we don't need to wear collars)

we don't have to wear collars)

on the ankles

  
the midges turned out to be Sciaridae. Thanks)

Well, if you have identified midges, you can also find fleas.

Flea larvae develop in clumps of debris in crevices or in the ground. In Soviet times, in this case, floors were washed with chlorophos, now there are probably safer drugs.

In order to solve the problem of fleas in the apartment, you need to do a complex of treatments: it is advisable to bathe the cat in a flea shampoo, then drip drops on the withers and then put on a flea collar. In parallel, it is necessary to process the entire apartment (floor and walls with a height of at least 1m) and repeat the processing of the apartment in 2 weeks. If necessary, repeat the treatment of the apartment after another 2 weeks. For treatment, there is shampoo, drops and a "Pussy" collar. Drops of 10 ml. for the treatment of the apartment.
Flea eggs can attach to shoes and reproduce in bedding and crevices. Fleas feed on blood. The temperature of cats is higher than that of humans, so they first suck the blood of cats. When they become a lot of them, they do not disdain people too. Believe me, it's not easy to get fleas out of your apartment. The correct suggestions were made.
If you live in Moscow, I can help you with medications.

we don't live in Moscow. thank you all for your advice, we will try

I found an insect on the wall next to the bed. Help me identify it.

It's a skin-eating beetle Dermestidae
The genus Attagenus or Anthrenus (maybe someone will bring it to the species: I can't).
They are quite common in apartments.

Thank you soothed )))

Hello. Dear experts, help us identify the insect, determine what is dangerous and how to deal with it. Today my wife and I found this creature on the wall. Size 2-3 mm. We were very surprised, as only 2 months ago we completed major repairs. Novosibirsk.

Again, a skin-eating beetle of some of the numerous species (I wrote above)
And about the destruction: search steers .
I only destroy it if it appears in the collection. Because I can't say anything about destroying it "in the bud".
