Beware of supermarket boxes - vermin sometimes included
I have already read many tips on how to use boxes / mandarin boxes / fruit baskets, etc. from the supermarket at home to create order in cabinets or shelves, to tinker etc. This is in principle a very good idea, because one so still has a meaningful utilization of things that would otherwise end up in the garbage. I have practiced it many times already.
But now, about three weeks ago, I had taken a carton of orange juice tetra packs and stored them in the cellar, and shortly thereafter my son informed me that he had found a "funny brown thing that looks like insects" on the carton , Curious as he is, he put the thing in a jar and waited. Of course, I immediately disposed of the box.
From the brown thing slipped small beetles, which could be determined with the help of the biology teacher, as larvae of the German cockroach, also called cockroach or cockroach.
My tip: always thoroughly search the containers that you put in your own four walls! Once you have cockroaches in the house, they multiply unnoticed and you get rid of them very hard and with lots of costs.
If you want to know what the cockroach e-packets look like, you can find pictures on the net. I would prefer not to set a link, as it is mostly pages of pest control companies and I do not want to advertise.
Cockroaches can be found in many food stores and so it is no wonder that you can find something from time to time. It just helps to search carefully.
