What does the two-tier look like?
It is easy to recognize the two-tailed segmented body( 3-7 cm), long antennae and no less long stings at the back, according to the number of which it received its name. This insect is also called a vilail( in the shape of a tail) and an earwig, because there are horror stories in the people that this insect gets to the person in ears, eats up the eardrum and gets into the brain.

Folk recipes

After a couple of hours, when they are filled with insects, they should be scalded with boiling water so that the earwigs are killed and discarded.
- Like many other insects, twigs do not tolerate sharp odors. Therefore, a mixture of onion and garlic is effective against them. These vegetables should be crushed to the state of gruel, diluted with boiling water and processed joints of walls, corners, plinths and habitats of these insects. Since the smell is weathered over time, the treatment should be repeated once a week. In addition to combating taillights, such a tool will significantly reduce the number of microbes in the house.

They can be hung around the apartment in bundles, folded into fabric bags or brewed and processed with decoction plinths, joints of walls and floors, corners, cracks, etc.

Of course, not everyone will want to keep shaggy, large and potentially poisonous creatures, but small spiders are harmless, and in their network will fall not only twins, but mosquitoes, flies and small gnats. This, of course, does not mean that you will have to let the whole house become a cobweb, but in secluded corners of the apartment, spiders can be left alone.

- to monitor the serviceability of plumbing and close all taps;
- do not leave containers with water open for a long time;
- spilled water, sprays and drops immediately;
- clean all food in the refrigerator or cabinet in closed containers;
- with large volumes of washing to dry things on the street or in the dryer, because the twins like to sit on wet clothes and underwear;
- find and destroy all nests of the two-tailed. Insects prefer to settle in places inaccessible to humans - these can be mines with pipes or ventilation, space under the floor, insulation, large cracks in the walls, etc.
