I took a pot of mint from the middle to my current residence. Because there was no care for a while, the mint grew very thin, but after all, it was a wild species dug from the outside, thin and thin, and the leaves still grow very strong, completely covering the mouth of the basin. When I got home, I put the flower pot on the window sill and gathered the leaves together. A group of small bugs flew up.

The bug is very small, white in color, and probably has been hiding in the shade of mint leaves. I didn’t find them along the way. They also disappeared when I met them. It shows that everyone is very slow. Open the window and beat it, kill some, and drive away some, there must be some hiding in the corner of the room, I hope they don’t lay eggs everywhere, or hatching later, it is very troublesome.

When I was a grown-up person, I accepted a re-popular idea that owning a property is an adult man’s rite of passage. This concept certainly has a long tradition, but it has been wiped out with private property for some time. When I was resurrected, I was studying at the university. It was a real poor man. I never thought about where I lived in the future.

After graduating, I worked as a journalist for a while and often had the opportunity to participate in discussions about the legal status of private property rights. The formulation of exclusive property rights was very cautious from the beginning, because the legal profession wanted to first establish an immovable basis for private property rights in the public law system, and then complete a civil code. But the atmosphere of that era was not like running on thin ice, but running on a thin layer of ice, speed is the key.

The city is soon full of new residential areas with clear property rights, and rising house prices have caused many ordinary men to only postpone adulthood. However, this kind of property rights arrangement, coupled with the exclusivity of the jurists’ painstaking arguments, is limited to human beings.

Before living on the second floor, there are many bugs. Just a few pots of flowers on the window sill of the security window, there are insects constantly spawning in the soil. Going out onceFor a long time, we left some water in the pot tray to make it easy for the plant roots to stick out and absorb moisture from the tray. Unexpectedly, a worm lays eggs in the water. Soon after we came back, we saw that the fat larvae writhed in the remaining water.

There are a few sparrows who usually come to the pots to drink water. When they find these larvae, they immediately squat and eat. The sparrows were so excited that they came a lot earlier than usual, and they heard them squatting outside the curtains early in the morning.

Some worms often break into the room, and when they drive away, they fly desperately toward the window, often touching the glass. The most common of these encounters are flies, sometimes bees, and various moths. Moths don’t necessarily want to fly away. They prefer to lay eggs on warm indoor textiles.

For a few years, I always found a gray-black bug on the bed, about three centimeters long, not so squirming. The head is like a suction cup that can be hung on a wall, a bed or a bedside table. . This kind of bug is not easy to handle, can’t be swept away; it is not easy to get rid of it with a paper towel; it can be embarrassed, but it is heavy, and the wall will leave traces.

When my father came to Shanghai to live, he studied it and concluded that it is a kind of rice worm. After the eggs hatch, the larvae are silky and crusted, and finally they will emerge into moths. They have been breeding in my family for many years and have never figured out how it came.

Or my father, found a pair of washed cotton shoes, found a lot of eggs inside. These shoes were sent to me from my hometown many years ago. Could they come to Shanghai with the courier?

The bug is a playmate for the child. They put the bugs in their pockets, took them home, hid them in toys, and then forgot about their existence. The worm crawled up and down indoors, stayed somewhere and motionless, and seemed to be deeply confused by the human world. Nanyin map

蟑螂 Needless to say.

A few years into the winter, there are flaws in the kitchen, which is very troublesome. We don’t leave garbageOvernight, biscuits and the like are always sealed with a bag, and it will not be seen. Once I got home from work, I opened the security door, and something fell between the security door and the wooden door. The sound control light in the corridor was bright. It turned out to be a giant dragonfly.

In order to smoke, you can only go to the hotel to open a room, move out the tableware food, and after sealing the insects and incense, seal the kitchen doors and windows, and the whole family stayed at the hotel for one night. This certainly cannot cure the problem.

For people, the barriers of each household in the corridor are clear, so there is no portal. For the sake of embarrassment, I have discussed it with my neighbors several times. Most people think that why should they do more? Of course, they make sense. This is not something that can be solved by 12 families in a corridor.

After that, everything is still the same, each family makes a fuss in their own kitchen, some use smoked, some use boiling water, and some use insecticide bait. We also changed from buying pharmacy bait in the pharmacy, and finally it worked. In the past few years, we didn’t have to jump out of bed suddenly and use flip flops to roll.

The big cockroach is terrible, and it is better to deal with it than the tiny German cockroach. The difference in the degree of headache caused by these insects is known only to the experienced people. When people talk about their residences, they rarely mention these things. I don’t know if I am too sensitive, or everyone pretends not to know.

Bugs live in this world, and do not need their consent, but to deal with them, even if only to maintain the value of the property, but also involve some more complicated things outside the property, including the design and construction of the house, The boundaries of the public environment and the division of responsibilities, as well as long-term, large-scale and dynamic cooperation between strangers. According to my experience, the dilemma of many people is that they feel that neighbors are not as good as bugs.
