About a month ago I saw this neighbor in the toilet - did not attach any importance
Now they are crawling on the walls-no higher than one and a half meters usually
In the kitchen table they settled in bags with cereals where there was access
In General they overcame ! As you can see in the photo six legs two antennae and a proboscis ! Size ~2 mm The body is strong the nail breaks with a crunch
At home a three-year-old son - are these creatures not dangerous ? and how to deal with them ?
Help who knows how to deal with them !

These creatures are only dangerous to your food supply. For children, fortunately, they do not pose a danger.
This is some kind of weevil that feeds on your cereals. I can't pinpoint the exact type, but I don't think it matters to you.
Regarding the fight: the first thing to do is [color=red]carefully[color=red] inspect all your supplies-cereals, pasta, muesli, etc. All packages and boxes where the pest is detected should be immediately thrown in the trash. Everything that is not yet affected by the beetle should be poured into sealed containers (cans, etc.). All products of this kind that you will buy will also need to be stored in hermetically sealed containers. All. The bug will simply have nothing to eat, and it will disappear from your life forever (but only if you really CAREFULLY sort through all your supplies, and do not forget, for example, to examine the bag of oatmeal on the top shelf of antrisoli

).
The use of toxic chemicals to solve the problem is possible, but undesirable, especially given that a small child lives in the apartment.

Either a barn weevil (Sitophilus granarium) or a rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae), a family that seems to be Dryophthoridae.

Sort out grain products (rice, buckwheat, millet, flakes, etc.), throw away the infected ones and, as mentioned above, store the uninfected ones in metal containers or tightly closed plastic containers.
The danger may be due to the fact that it pollutes the products with excrement, and there may also be allergic reactions.

Gentlemen, I'm new here, and I registered because I had a problem. I live in the city of Khimki near Moscow. Yesterday I found a certain insect (or I don't know what to call IT) in my house, and I put it in a glass jar. It is large, about 5 cm from the "nose" to the tip of the "tail", gray-brown in color, three pairs of legs, long mustache, and has large eyes. A small black tail sticks out at the end of the calf. I feed it, but I'm afraid it may die, because I do not know what it eats. I think it fell out of a bag of sunflower seeds. I would post a picture, but I won't be able to do it until Monday, but I'm afraid it might die waiting for that.

Sincerely, Galina
