Insects surround humans almost everywhere: they pollinate, destroy pests, cause harm themselves, process or become raw materials for paints or poisons.

There are many beneficial insects and many harmful ones that cause damage not only to plantings in the garden or vegetable garden.

Housewives buy cereals for future use. In the kitchen cupboards there are jars with buckwheat, rice, pearl barley, pasta, flour.

Perfect cleanliness does not protect against cereal bugs that appear before buying cereal. Often, housewives themselves bring them home, not realizing the presence of pests in a box of oatmeal.

However, there is one way to scare away grain bugs from food. A cheap spice that many people have will help with this.

The housewife puts a bay leaf in a jar with cereal and forgets about the problem forever. 2-3 leaves are placed in one jar.

The trick is that the spice has antiseptic properties. Unfavorable conditions are created for insects and pathogens.
