The invasion of strange insects in Poland. They look like cockroaches
The American plug (Leptoglossus Occidentalis) is (Coreidae), which in recent years has become more and more common in Europe, including Poland. What does an American plug look like? His body is slender and brown about 2 cm long. A bright, zigzag pattern runs on the covers of his wings. It also has long, four -part tentacles. Despite the exotic name, it is not a native species, but an invasive, derived from North America. His presence can be burdensome, especially in late summer or autumn, when he is looking for shelter in our homes. They often enter houses through gaps in windows, doors, ventilation or other holes. However, it is worth noting that inside the houses they do not reproduce and do not pose a threat to human health. The American plug, in the event of a threat, releases an unpleasant smell. This is his defense mechanism to scare away potential predators. This smell is compared to the smell of burning or rotten apples.

The best way to prevent the American entrance to the house is to seal all gaps and holes. However, it is known that this way is difficult to realize in the summer or even in autumn, when the days are warmer. That is why it is definitely better to use N on American plug. The use of intense fragrances such as mint, lavender, eucalyptus, vinegar, garlic or citrus can be helpful in repelling American plugs from home. Therefore, to 1 liter of water, add 20-30 drops of selected from the above essential oil and rub the mixture into the frames of your windows and entrance doors. It is also worth applying such liquid to window sills to better protect the house against the American plug.
