Carpet is a wingless insect, which belongs to Kanik and Kanik. It is a primitive small wingless insect with more than 100 species all over the world. Commonly known as moth, mullet, white fish, wallfish, bookworm and shrimp (Chaozhou dialect).

Carp like to live in warm and humid places. It often appears in pasted old books, calligraphy and paintings, woolen clothes, paper boxes, and even at the bottom of refrigerators, heated bathrooms, cracks in floor tiles, and kitchen walls.

1. Live in a house and eat all kinds of food, paste, chewing gum, books, silk clothes, etc.

I like living in dark, damp or closed places. It is one of the common warehouse pests in China, which can be found in stored grains, beans, oilseeds, books, clothes and other items.

Prevention and treatment

Carp is afraid of sunlight and often hides in dark places. In the evening, clothing fish come out to eat clothes, books and so on.

The following methods to eliminate or eliminate the clothing fish, although effective, are all palliative, not permanent:

① Mixing borax and sugar at the ratio of 1: 1 can effectively kill the clothing fish.

(2) The odor of ammonium chloride aqueous solution can repel clothing fish within 24 hours.

③ Sprinkle gypsum powder on the soaked white cotton cloth and put it in the corner of the room for the night, close to the hiding place of the clothing fish.

(4) You can put a board next to the clothing fish hiding place, and put a slightly ground potato on the board; When the clothesline comes out at night, it will get into the potatoes to eat. The next morning, you can throw away the potatoes and the clothesline together.
