both greetings from Kiev the capital of
Ukraine my name Victor Forsyth in today
may 11 2009 teen and today I'm very
pleased to show you something special
and unusual these unusual cakes
this unusual bisquits and the damage so
Harley and something in festive time do
I want to know who is that so follow
this video if you have never seen such
kind of a bisquits you're very lucky
because they're really damaged and
they're really infested probably already
noticed somebody was crowling of this
bisquits
and if i touch him we're really damaged
yes and this tiny tiny beetle just
crowded down and this is a bisquit
beetle be squid beetle have been
developing inside this be squeezed and
larvae they were eating all these
biscuits and these are imagine holes
adults of these beetles they just fished
out of these holes and how it looked
like and how to fight against of them
because we're spreading like a plug
around your kitchen they can damage all
food all around and how to fight with
them so follow this video and i will
show you them as well because they here
the inside this petri dish yes we're
here and I show them in a close distance
so you can recognize them who they are
because we're very small sometimes very
difficult to recognize because they're
flying very well and also we're running
very well so crowd and quickly it's like
can easily escape and also if you touch
them they fall down because this is very
behavior of Tanna ptosis they fell down
to escape of any damage
maybe protector so that's why we fall
down on the floor and you will not see
them again and they fly very quickly and
here in this petri dish some of them
they're dead some of them alive because
we were sitting here for few days so
they easily died despite the adults
these beetles they do not eat them we do
not feed on any food because the most
important pests are Larry of these
beetles and what do they do well adults
were searching for different food in
your kitchen because we're spread all
around the world not globally
distributed in the world and they're
searching for food in your kitchen and
this is a very common and most
economically important pest which are
not stored products and the diet of this
beetle includes different products like
cereals bread dry bread cakes dried
beverage concentrates dried fruits dried
vegetables even herbs animal foodstuffs
cocoa beans spices even chili peppers
and even dried various drugs so they can
easily eat different food and they can
be easily found in your kitchen because
they're flying very well and during
infestation where can be easily noticed
growling on windows beaters also fly
very quickly and they can be carried
from one building of one house to
another house on goods or clothes as I
said adults of beetles we do not feed
but also we can cheer and we can eat
their way through packages just to lay
eggs in
food resource so that's why we can
infest even contained enclosed products
the development of beetles can be
different depends from moisture and
temperature and during temperature of 17
cm degree development of one Larry about
37 days but during 28 cell some degree
it's only 8 days
so in general during the year the whole
cycle allows to have from three or four
or even more generations so that's why
these beetles can be found enclosed and
stored places during the whole year but
usually up to three or four generations
one female can lay eggs on food source
about 100 eggs over on food itself or in
small crevices nearby Larry very tiny
this white larva
we have only 0.5 millimeter lon and 0.12
millimeter wide as a result we can
squeeze easily through the nearest
cracks and penetrates the wrappings on
food with relative ease before pew
patient the larvae is making special
capsule which is covered by drilling mud
and so più patient will be inside
capsule and when hatched beetles is
drilling special emergence hole as I
showed you on cakes
sometimes the beaters and their larvae
to be precise they can damage even some
books in the libraries
because they penetrate cardboards food
when do books and books as because we
belong to 13 chibita's family are no
beaded so we can drill very easily
different different materials so we can
cause structural and other damage
especially on this last larval stage
because Lara will make images whole and
creating a special capsule or protective
chamber for pew patient and in this case
all these products will be highly
damaged how to fight with them first of
all you need to trace the source of
infestation to check different places
where you can keep food and isolate it
and put your food in closed places
sometimes it's easy sometimes not you
and sometimes you need to find but these
beetles can damage some dried flowers in
your house or in your kitchen so in it
this will be their food resource and we
will spread all around even from your
dining room just slowly to the kitchen
so when you destroy your larvae feeding
material then you need to clean the area
carefully in a case where it is possible
there are some possible treatment with
insecticides as aerosol insecticide
which contain diazinon or other
insecticides these are methods of
fighting off these beetles and first of
all try to avoid them putting
different materials enclosed places or
put them to the freezer for preservation
because they lower temperature will kill
all alluring the food source thank you
for watching I hope it was interesting
and entertaining for you and I'm quite
sure you have seen these beetles
sometimes in your kitchen because they
fly very well
and they can be found on the window and
maybe I will show them in a big
magnification little bit later with high
magnification but even on this size on
your screen there easily recognizable
what about in other beetles in your
kitchen or in your house which is not
useful pests so I will tell about them
in my next video so please subscribe
write your comments and ask your
questions thank you for watching
