What about the millet eaten by insects?

Millet with insects can still be eaten after washing. In order to protect the remaining millet from insects, we can treat millet in the following ways.

Most people will choose exposure, but this way is not desirable.

This is because adults like light, especially high temperature. The most suitable temperature for them is 30 -33 degrees. Even more frightening is that the higher the temperature, the stronger their reproductive ability. In other words, your exposure has accelerated its reproductive desire. If it could talk, it would say thank you. Moreover, the taste of rice will decrease after exposure, and the exposure method is not desirable.

The correct way is to store it in the refrigerator, because Mi Chong is not cold-tolerant, but adults will have suspended animation. The so-called suspended animation is dormancy, which neither destroys rice grains nor reproduces. Generally, when the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, it overwinters. When the temperature is below 5 degrees, it takes 2 1 day to kill Mi Chong.

In addition to the cold storage of rice grains themselves, the barrels for storing rice should be strictly disinfected every year to ensure that the edges and corners are not missed, otherwise, as long as one egg is not destroyed, Mi Chong will have the opportunity to flood the rice piles.

If there is a disaster and there is enough rice at home, Mi Chong can be killed by phosphine fumigation. The principle of phosphine fumigation is that phosphine enters pests with the participation of oxygen, causing irreversible damage to adults, which leads to the imbalance of adult mechanism and death.
