Even waste must be controlled, let’s dispose of it as soon as we produce it, if this is not possible due to selective collection that forces us to throw away waste on certain days, let’s at least try to keep it out of the house in containers well closed.
Finally, when we keep treats, fruits, and goodies available on tables or counters, we’ve got you covered. Even a tightly meshed net is enough, insects will still be attracted to the smell, but since they cannot access the product, they will abandon it.
