what do assholes have to do with it? I'm not an insect expert...

well, how can these "leatherheads" get into the apartment? what means to destroy where they live?
I watched in my bed in the form of a brown-colored kozheyed caterpillar, biting...
flying beetles for some reason fly to the open window.
I assume that the mattress is made of coconut chips or parquet.

atata - this post did not concern you, but the "great determinant" under the nickname "lyubimov"...
As for getting into the apartment - they live there - the larvae perfectly find food among the dust under furniture, skirting boards, in the cracks of parquet and other inaccessible and rarely cleaned parts of the apartment. They fly to the window - this is their feature - called positive phototaxis.
It is very difficult to destroy 100%, but you can significantly reduce the number by regularly cleaning the habitats (listed above) and periodically treating them with household insecticides intended for crawling insects.

we drove into the house, we have them in the kitchen on the windowsill constantly appear, and there are dead ones lying around everywhere. I really want to get rid of them. we spray dichlorvos until they disappear, let's hope that they will disappear over time. or maybe someone else has suggestions about how to add more? thank you

They do not dissolve in dichlorvos! tongue.gif A joke, of course. And if you are more serious, then first of all, still - what is a post above: general cleaning of all premises, especially all hidden places, with a vacuum cleaner more powerful with a slot nozzle at least.

My skin eaters did not disappear even after the apartment was treated with a disinfectant, and after some time I moved the refrigerator and there was a sea of larvae there..... and live and discarded skins, well, what else can I do? I cleaned all the carpets from the apartment, wet cleaning 2 times a day, the child is small. Help! how else can I get rid of them????

Dear avanna, To get rid of leatherheads, you need to restore order in the house.

Liparus, don't be stupid. They also wrote to you - people do cleaning twice a day, but larvae still appear. You would have such "happiness" in the form of kozheedov and his family-you would understand that cleaning does not help much.
We lived in the old apartment - there were only skin-eating beetles, they were generally invisible anywhere in the apartment, they only gathered on the chandelier and dried up there quietly, without disturbing anyone. Recently, we moved to another apartment - the rooms were newly renovated, but in the first week, in the morning, the skin-eating LARVAE appeared (which I had never seen before that day, which is surprising, because the beetles themselves were found in the previous apartment, but there were never any larvae). Now they meet in the toilet. It is not known where they came from - as they write on the Internet-they came from the street, or maybe from the neighboring apartment, which gave off a strong dichlorophosic stench about the second or third day when we moved here.

Dear "one-two-three-four-five" In contrast to Liparus (who has an idea of what he writes), "stupid" (Your words) just like you. Larvae in any case can not fly into apartments, well, they do not have organs adapted for flight...
Yes, and about the correlation of cleaning and the presence/absence of leatherworms, you got excited. Almost ANY apartment has leatherheads, only some people are philosophical about this fact, some try to fight without getting anyone hysterical, but some (and rather big) of our fellow citizens write hysterical posts on the Internet, drawing information about the biology and harmfulness of these creatures from posts of the same "punched on the head"... Don't like the answers from entomologists - welcome to Dezstantsiyu - for your money will spend the apartment and everyone living there (only kozheedy from this will not disappear forever)...
