In the hot summer, a large number of insects, including flies, fly everywhere, but with the onset of the cold season they disappear.
Where do flies spend the winter? Where do they go during the cold season? Unfavorable winter conditions all flies experience differently, therefore the process of wintering occurs in all species of these insects different ways. The state into which most flies fall in winter is called diapause - it is similar to suspended animation in animals, that is, the period when an individual simply sleeps.
At this time, house flies, like other representatives of the fauna, hibernate.
Their metabolism and other vital processes slow down, which increases the body's resistance to adverse external conditions. This feature allows them to withstand frosty winter days. The flies that are found in our homes are classified as houseflies or houseflies.
Scientists have found that life expectancy adult is approximately 1 month.
But many insects of this species are able to live much longer. Then the question arises of how flies overwinter. So, first, some general information. The female makes her last laying of eggs in the autumn.
Adults and small larvae do not die during the cold season, but fall into a long winter hibernation. Already starting from mid-October, you will not see a single fly on the street. House flies easily adapt to any climatic conditions, hiding in various crevices, window frames and similar places in which a constant room temperature throughout the cold season.
Flies that live in fields, gardens and orchards, just like indoor insects, sleep in winter.
They try to overwinter in the ground, but very coldy are destructive for them. Winter hibernation in insects is deep and requires special conditions in order for the individual to wake up. Usually, when daylight hours increase and a certain temperature sets, which happens in the spring, flies begin to wake up. After long winter cold, the insect does not immediately come to its senses. At first, the fly is half asleep.
After some time, they get used to it, finally wake up and begin to live a normal life, and the larvae continue their development after a long break.
A fly in an apartment in winter is a fairly common occurrence. Where does it come from?
Insects appear in our homes in two ways - they fly in from the street (through windows, doors, ventilation and other cracks) or they multiply inside. But why are these pests rare in some homes, while in others they are frequent visitors?
The condition of the house is of great importance local area: if available nearby damp basement or garbage containers, the likelihood of annoying insects appearing in your home increases significantly. We tried to figure out where flies come from in warm time of the year. But where do flies come from in the house in winter? You probably accidentally touched a secluded place where the insect spent the winter.
Another reason why an awakened individual appears in the house is too heat environment.
If heating radiators or other heating devices, the fly may become hot and wake up. Entering a person’s home from outside in winter time insects cannot survive for years, so there is no need to apply a set of measures to eliminate them; it will be enough to get rid of one annoying individual.
Often in the spring, watching a woken insect fly around the house, we wonder how to get rid of flies in the apartment. They buzz unpleasantly, sometimes bite, get into food and drinks and cause a lot of other troubles. Do not forget that flies in an apartment are not only unpleasant, but even dangerous, because they are carriers of infections, which is directly related to health.
There are many known ways to combat annoying insects. Unfortunately, many of them are not safe for humans and other inhabitants of the house - pets, indoor plants, aquarium fish.
Let's look at some of the most common rules for preventing and controlling insects:
Necessary:
All these rules and recommendations will help you exterminate insects, making your home comfortable and clean.
Often, in order to prevent flies from appearing in our homes, we are ready to use any means of exterminating insects, forgetting about what is best not to do. Remember that you cannot use expired or questionable preparations for pest control. Follow safety rules and read the instructions carefully.
Be careful when using folk ways insect control, since you or other family members may be allergic to the components.
Do not delay killing flies for a long time. Having multiplied, they will deliver you where more problems than when taking timely measures. Do not rush to purchase expensive electronic devices to repel insects - cheaper analogues are quite suitable for household control of them.
Also, do not rush to contact special companies that offer removal of insects in short time on a paid basis. It is entirely possible to fight flies on your own by thoroughly studying this issue and understanding all its features.
Winter fly in the house. Signs of a fly appearing in the house late autumn or in winter an unnatural phenomenon. After all, during cold weather, insects should sleep, and, according to ancient beliefs, if a fly suddenly came to life and buzzed in the room, this foreshadows illness or even the death of one of the household members.
To ward off trouble, you need to do this. Immediately go to any window and knock lightly right hand on the glass and say 3 times:
“Every time has its hour, and this trouble is not for us.”
Then catch the fly (it will be lethargic and sleepy, so this will not be difficult to do). Use a towel or rag, but do not kill the insect.
Go outside and release the fly, saying three times: “It fell on her own head, what she brought, she took with her, death took away from the house. Amen".
Throw the rag into a trash can or trash container. When you return home, wash your hands thoroughly.
On the day of the full moon, at dawn, take the old kitchen towel, which has been in your home for at least a year. Wash it thoroughly front door inside and out, using any detergents.
Wring out the towel you used in dirty water, take it outside and bury it where people rarely go. Dirty water pour it there and say 3 times: "Where there is water, there comes trouble"
If some unpleasant person managed to ruin your mood, then you should leave negative emotions outside the threshold of your home. For those who are still sad, sitting in their cozy living room, some tireless household chores and, of course, the cherished words of the spell will help them unwind:
The Lord came from the seven heavens, the Lord carried 77 locks from 77 tongues. Close, Lord, all people, enemies, judges, eyes, mouths, mouths, so that there is no misfortune for God’s servant (name), throw the key into the ocean-sea. Whoever can get it can judge me. Amen.
How to regain the lost state of equanimity, joy and lightness? Unkind words, if taken to heart, result in obsessive thoughts that life is not a success. If, after an unpleasant interaction, you have the feeling that your strength is slipping through your fingers, and your body is literally losing energy, it is not surprising that you feel weak.
Late in the evening, sit on the floor, placing 12 lit candles around you and three times, looking at the flames, whisper:
It’s not I who walk, I fly like a black raven, I swing with a ring, I drive with fire, I step on the threshold with my right foot, I take away the tongue of my enemies, so that they clap their lips and remain silent, and do not gnash or chatter their teeth. Lay down around my body, a circle, from the tongue-tied, toothy, envious neighbors in the yard, across the field, at work. Don't let them, circle, let their tongues run wild. Just as fish in water are silent, so evil people do not speak about me. Amen.
If you are going to be separated from a loved one or relative, then perform a conspiracy ritual before leaving. Place some of his clothes on the chair, light a candle, walk around the chair and whisper the spell:
I speak to the servant of God (name) about saving on the road, firmly and firmly for his fate, for his life. Whoever plucks and eats all the grass from the meadow, drinks all the water from the sea and does not get hungry, he would not have prevailed over my word, he would not have broken my conspiracy.
Which of the evil people would disparage him, and disparage him, and blaspheme, and spoil him, then the word would not be of use, and the point would not be the goal, the knife would break off, the bullet would pass, the poison would wake up, the fire would not flare up, the water would not destroy, the saber would not will cut down.
An angel is with him. The Guardian and Preserver, with his wing, will protect him from all enemies and enemies. For the servant of God (name), the path is smooth, good health in separation from me. I lay my curse on him. I testify to every word with a church candle. Amen.
Extinguish the candle, hide it in a secluded place and store it until the person close to you returns. And after his return, the candle must be lit in front of the icon so that it burns out to the end.
Few people enjoy the appearance of flies. They spread all sorts of infections, do not allow you to rest peacefully on a hot summer afternoon, leave marks on cleanly washed glass, and sometimes even end up in a vase of jam or a cup of sweet drink. However, despite our negative emotions, signs about these annoying creatures are often positive.
The behavior of the only fly in a home can also tell a lot to a knowledgeable person.
“Ah, red summer, I would love you if it were not for the heat, dust, mosquitoes and flies...” Apparently, these annoying creatures really irritated the poet if they were reproached in poetry. And who would like being next to a swarm of flies? Carriers of infection, inhabitants of garbage dumps, molesters! They won’t let you take a nap in the shade, they’ll fall into your food, they’ll leave marks on cleanly washed glass... It would seem that from the point of view of signs, the appearance of a fly shouldn’t bode well. However, superstitions are unpredictable things.
One fly by itself does not make any difference and does not foreshadow anything significant. It is simply impossible to imagine a summer in which at least a dozen or two of these annoying creatures did not sneak into the apartment! But if an impressive company of flies scurries around the ceiling day and night, it’s unpleasant and alarming: why would it happen all of a sudden? Experts in superstitions in such cases console the owners with the sign: “Many flies - a lot of money.”
Of course, if you can’t correct the situation, you can put up with the dominance of the flies and prepare a wallet for the promised wealth. But it’s still wiser to check the area for any unregistered garbage dumps nearby. This is especially true for the private sector, where you are closer to the land and the risk of encountering unscrupulous neighbors is higher.
There is no house that a fly cannot enter
A fact to note for those who do not want to endure a buzzing swarm in their apartment. Our ancestors were sure that there was no better remedy against flies than... worn pants. It is not known to whom and with what fear this idea first came to mind, but in many parts of Russia they believed that an insect that was kicked out of the house with this piece of clothing would under no circumstances come back.
If there is a fly in the house, sooner or later you will find it on you. And this will mean absolutely nothing, since the human body is covered with a thin layer of sebum, sweat and emits an appetizing smell for insects. However, signs ignore this fact, and a completely different explanation is found for the fly’s behavior.
There is a version that this sign predicts separation for lovers. True, without specifying, forever or temporarily, so there is a way to get rid of a bad omen. Spend the evening apart, and the fly's prediction will come true painlessly for both of you.
If a fly gets into your eye, you will cry. The sign is 99% true, since our eyes are very sensitive to irritation, and after meeting an insect rushing in low-level flight, tears will probably flow in hail. All the better! This means that you have already cried for yourself and there is no need to be afraid of troubles in the future.
Did the flyer land right on your nose? Signs remain silent, but “ Big dictionary Russian sayings" (also folk wisdom!) convicts the owner of the desire to sip a glass or two.
There are two options for interpreting the sign:
Sometimes a fly is a sign of good luck
When an insect got into food, they always tried to present it as good omen. Apparently, so that a person who had to share his portion with an insect would be less upset, and the food would not have to be thrown away. Even if the trick looks naive, why not play along with the old belief? Pulling an insect out of a cup is always more enjoyable if you know that for this you are promised some kind of prize!
A fly fell into a mug of tea - expect a gift. Definitely material good wishes and wise advice are not considered a gift.
Coffee lovers can count on any gift from a small amount of money to good impressions. An insect drowned in a cup of coffee also portends success.
Did you catch a fly from a glass of milk? Guests are approaching, think about how you will entertain your visitors.
If a fly lands in a glass of wine or a glass, its owner will experience success with the opposite sex. And if this happens to a woman at a party, then even before it ends the lucky woman will meet the man of her dreams.
A fly in the soup is a sign of profit that will be received in the very near future. Moreover, if the “drowned woman” is found floating in a plate, the income should be average, but if it falls straight into the spoon, it should be stunning.
It’s a pity, but this sign does not apply to solid food. A fly in a plate with potatoes or porridge is just a sign of germs.
An abundance of flies indicates a hot summer
We have already mentioned the first sign in this regard: the number of flies in the house, the owner has so much money. But that’s not all that the invasion of buzzing pesters can tell you about.
If there are small fruit flies in the house, the signs foretell a rich feast for the owners with many guests. Although the situation may be exactly the opposite! If you are chopping salads for the upcoming holiday, throwing the remaining vegetables into a bucket, there will definitely be a cluster of fruit flies.
It seems that superstitions have not spared anyone. Even small flies ended up as messengers of fate! Should you listen to what they tell you? That's your business. But if you want to keep your nerves, and your health in order, leave weather forecasting to insects - they are definitely better at this. Make changes in your personal life yourself. What if you manage to accomplish something grandiose without flies in your wine and ears?
Flies appear in every apartment in summer and autumn. But sometimes their number simply goes off scale. And no one knows what to do when there are a lot of flies in the house. They come out of nowhere and occupy your entire home. But with the right approach, you can definitely defeat these uninvited guests.
The main thing here is not to let the situation get worse and not to resort to radical measures. Get all necessary information before fighting insects.
To begin with, it is worth reducing their concentration. For this, you will need an aerosol, an ultrasonic repeller, or adhesive tape. Fight them by keeping their number to a minimum.
Look at your home too. Spoiled food, food left somewhere and ordinary garbage - all this is a fly magnet. Start the fight by cleaning the premises and your unverified roommates will leave you.
It is popularly believed that a lot of flies in a room can be:
If insects behave briskly and pay little attention to people, then this is definitely a sign of wealth. This means that you will soon start working hard and earning a lot.
If they flock together, attack people and stick to windows, then all this leads to a quarrel. You will also be attacked bad people, provoking a scandal.
But all this does not mean that flies should not be destroyed. Of course, signs are signs, and the house must be clean.
In summer there is no point for insects to come to your home. But from August to October, people experience a real invasion of these insects.
This trend is due to the fact that:
But don't worry, it's rare that a fly survives until mid-October. Consequently, the autumn invasion will be the last. Then the winged guard will visit you only next May.
To avoid an infestation of flies, it is necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the room. When cleaning, use not only ordinary water, but antibacterial agents. This good method prevention.
Use screens on windows and doors. Fight against cracks and cracks. Then uninvited guests will definitely not infiltrate you.
Do not leave food on the table, do not allow food to get into hard-to-reach places. Also, you should not eat at the computer, in bed, in the hallway, in the toilet, etc.
If you don’t know what to do when there are a lot of flies in the house, then contact a specialist. Today, many companies provide advice on this issue. But it’s not worth buying the services of such companies. In many cases, you can get deception instead of high-quality and reliable pest control.
