生ゴミや水回りによく出てくる「コバエ」はどこから……？What kind of creature is "fly" in the first place?
As the name suggests, the fly is a general term for flies with a length of about 2 mm.There are so many types, and many of the flying flies in Japan belong to the following four subjects.
Shawojobais are often found around the kitchen and garbage.Showojobae is called "Fruit Fly" in English and is known for fruit lovers.Strictly speaking, it is common to ripe fruits, vegetables and seasonings, so be careful with these garbage, remaining scum and droplets.
Nomi flies tend to be around the kitchen garbage and animals.Chobae is nocturnal and is often found in bathrooms and sewer pipes.Mushroom buckwheat is easy to appear in the shade and potted plants.

As mentioned earlier, the fly is several mm long.Therefore, even if you do not leave the entrance or window open, it will invade even from a slight gap in doors, windows and ventilation fans.
I think, "How about using an insect repellent net (insect repellent net, insect repellent net)?"Introducing a screen door is not safe.

What should I do to suppress the invasion of the fly?Here are some measures that are easy to work on.
水回りの対策
Frame basically comes to an environment that lacks cleanliness.Therefore, keeping the sink and bathroom clean is one of the important measures.
When cleaning the sink, don't forget to clean the dust tray (garbage receiving), drain and triangle corners.Above all, dust tray and triangular corner garbage should be collected frequently.If you prepare a disposable "drainer garbage bag", it is easy to collect garbage.
ダストトレーや三角コーナーの清掃は、汚れがひどくなければ中性洗剤でも大丈夫です。汚れがひどい場合は、塩素系漂白剤やアルカリ性の洗剤を使って掃除することをおすすめします（スポンジなどでこする際は、必ず手袋を装着してください）流し台のダストトレーは、発泡タイプのクリーナーを使った掃除もおすすめです。ゴミをしっかり取り除いてから使いましょう最近は三角コーナーなしで“自立”できる水切りゴミ袋もあります。これを使えば、小まめに生ゴミを捨てるのも楽です（画像はネクスタ「シンク用水切りゴミ袋 スタンドタイプE、出典：Amazon）コバエの種類によっては、排水口のぬめりを求めてやってくることもあります。排水口のパイプ清掃も有効なコバエ対策といえますゴミや汚れへの対策
Frame often gathers in garbage.Let's collect garbage frequently.In summer, flying tends to occur in less than a few days.It would be even better if you use a trash can that can be sealed with a lid.If you cannot seal it, tie the garbage bag firmly and seal it.
Also, the cause of the flies is that you tend to overlook the drinks and bottles of drinks.When throwing it away, please drain well with water.Similarly, it is easy to come to the unwashed dishes, so be sure to wash the dishes as soon as possible.

Again, because the body of the fly is very small, it can enter even a little gap.Therefore, by reducing the gap between the entrance and window as much as possible, the invasion of the fly itself can be prevented to some extent.
For example, the "gap tape" that fills the gap between the doors and windows is originally used for "improving cooling / heating efficiency", "prevention of gaps", and "suppressing the opening and closing of the door and windows".It can also be used to hold down.
If you are already using an insect repellent net, replace the mesh with a smaller one will make it harder for the fly to enter.It is also effective to use an insect repellent net containing insect repellent ingredients.
However, it may not be possible to prevent the invasion of the fly in gaps.We recommend that you give priority to the "clean" measures mentioned earlier and then implement it as a further countermeasure.

The flying fly is surprisingly noticeable.I also want to eat and drink.If you enter the house, you don't want you to approach as much as possible.However, because of its small size, the fly may have a hard time to get rid of it.
So, here are some ways to capture and exterminate if a fly is entered.
コバエ捕獲剤を使う
The quickest way to capture and exterminate the fly is to use a special catching agent.
Recently, the number of "non -insecticides", which has released a favorite odor of the fly, and captures the fluff that has been caught by the odor with adhesive, has increased.However, catching agents that do not use insecticide components may not be very effective for chow buckwheat or mushrooms due to their characteristics.If you need to take measures against this fly, we recommend using a catcher or insecticide containing insecticidal components.

If you want to get rid of the flies that have already been used for garbage, we recommend using an insecticide.Insectors are more effective for chobi flies and mushrooms, which may not be caught with a catch agent.
Recently, there are some compact insecticides specializing in flies.In some cases, if you spray once, the fly will not approach for a while.
