Chapter 27 Elimination
Mo Fei did not tell her family that she was bitten by a red fire ant. After treating the wound according to Lin Jiyuan's instructions, she began to look up information.
This insect was originally distributed in South America. Due to its strong reproductive ability and tolerance to the environment, it is a recognized invasive species throughout the blue planet.
"How to disinfect and prevent red fire ants? This is it." Mo Fei stared at the words on the screen.
"Look for ant nests in areas where red fire ants are found. The height of a red fire ant nest is about 20-30 cm, and the interior is honeycomb-shaped. Once found, use a 1:200 mixture of chlorpyrifos to water the nest, which can be effective for prevention and control. The greenery around the house should also be sprayed with drugs for disinfection." Mo Fei saw it written on it.
It turned out that the man was carrying a pesticide spray box and was using it to prevent insect infestation around his house.
I just don't know why the disinfecting would happen to her.
You can't really come here just to ask her for some food, right?
Mo Fei entered the space with a stir of his mind, intending to see if she had any stockpiled tick poison.
Chlorpyrifos, also known as chlorpyrifos, has a slight thiol smell and is a well-known insecticide both at home and abroad.
In the past, many vegetable farmers would use it in their vegetable fields, but because of its toxicity and residual problems, its use has been gradually restricted in recent years.
Thousands of supplies were piled up like a mountain. Even though there were shelves to sort them out, it still took Mo Fei a while to search.
In the end, Mo Fei searched everywhere and only found household mosquito repellents and mosquito coils.
Well, she also bought several flavors of this insecticide, including jasmine, rose, and unscented.
It seems that she was so focused on stockpiling food, daily necessities and decorating the house at the time that she overlooked the possibility of an insect infestation.
This thing is definitely useful against flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches, but will it be useful against the evolved red fire ants?
Mo Fei was unsure.
She was deeply upset that she had not considered all aspects of demand when stocking up.
During the period of natural disaster evolution, she was always concerned about the evolution of large mammals and plants, but forgot how terrifying the originally invisible insects would be after evolution.
Even if there is no evolution, the locust plagues in the history of Blue Planet are an indelible threat to human survival.
For example, more than a hundred years ago, the largest locust plague in North America covered an area of over 50 square kilometers. Wherever 12.5 trillion locusts went, they were enough to wipe out all the green.
I don’t know how many people starved to death during those years.
Mo Fei doesn't care whether these pesticides are effective or not. If they are effective, that's the best. If they are not effective, he can only try it out as a last resort.
When the sun was about to set, Mo Fei asked the two children to stay upstairs and close the doors and windows. Then he and his parents put on protective clothing from head to toe, and each took a dozen bottles of insecticide and sprayed them near the villa.
Every corner within two meters of the villa wall must not be left out.
Especially on the places where grass grows, spray back and forth.
This kind of spraying really made Mo Fei find two ants.
Mo Fei not only sprayed it with insecticide, he also brought a bucket of boiling water and poured it into the ant hole.
With these two methods, many dead fire ants soon flowed out of the ant holes.
To be on the safe side, Mo Fei squatted beside and observed for a while. After confirming that these fire ants were really dead, she felt relieved.
Mo Zhicheng stepped on a fire ant that tried to climb onto his shoe and said, "I don't know how these things survived. We were dying of heat, but they were still alive."
"Let's go!" Mo Fei gestured to his parents to go home.
After entering the gate of the villa, she let her parents go in first, and then she sprayed every corner of the villa yard again.
"Mom, you cook dinner tonight. I have to take precautions at home." Once Mo Fei's insect-proof journey began, it was out of control.
She found half a bottle of water-based emulsion containing bifenthrin in the space. This was left here by a decorator before.
Fortunately, Mo Fei saw it and put it into his space. He always felt that everything would be useful.
I didn't expect it would come in handy so soon.
Mo Fei took this half bottle of water emulsion and sprayed all the visible building gaps in the house, especially in the basement on the first floor below ground, where Mo Fei sprayed the most. This can effectively prevent ants from crawling in through the gaps.
Mo Fei was busy until midnight. Only when everyone in the family fell asleep did she lie down on the sofa tiredly.
She was so tired that she leaned back on the sofa with her eyes closed. She didn't even have the strength to take two more steps to the bed.
I might as well just sleep on the sofa tonight. I don't want to move any more and get yelled at.
Unexpectedly, her cell phone rang at this time. Strangely, it was an unfamiliar number.
Mo Fei answered: "Hello, who is this?"
Since Mo Fei and his family moved into the villa, he has received a total of two calls.
One is from Chen Bingqing, and the other is this one.
Coincidentally, as soon as the call was connected, the caller started to curse at her.
Even a clay figure has some anger, why do you always scold me alone? ?
"Not Big Sister, who are you?" Mo Fei really couldn't tell who the strange female voice on the other side was.
The opponent paused, stopped the crazy output, and began to introduce himself.
It turned out that the person who called was Mo Fei's former landlord. The owner of the house in Jinshi Garden. This girl was two years younger than Mo Fei, and her name was Liu Ying'an.
"Someone knocked on your door in the middle of the night?" Mo Fei was speechless.
She remembered that she had blocked the former landlord on WeChat after checking out, but she didn't expect that this person still kept her phone number.
Liu Ying'an stood behind the door on the top floor, listening to the urgent knocks on the door and even the sound of picking the lock. He hid under the table and trembled: "I don't care, they are here to find you. You have to come and drive them away."
"Who's looking for me?" Mo Fei asked patiently. She thought it was Chen Bingqing's family who came to visit again.
Liu Ying'an gnashed his teeth and said, "The restaurant owner, security guard, and property management at the entrance of the community! They all came to find you! The boss said that you stockpiled a lot of food and drinks, and looked for you in the owner group. But you ignored them. I didn't expect them to come to find you in the middle of the night..."
"..." Mo Fei didn't expect that the restaurant owner was also the owner of Jinshi Garden, and he was so happy to sell it to her.
"Please. I blocked the owners' group a long time ago, but I never left. I don't read WeChat messages. Didn't you tell them that I had moved out? Besides, even if I have food and drink, why should I give it to them? They are my father and my mother." Mo Fei said exhaustedly.
Liu Yingan began to cry: "I said it, I really said it. But they didn't believe it. They said they didn't even see you move. They insisted that I open the door."
"Call the police, big sister." Mo Fei closed his eyes. "If you don't know how to do it, I can help you."
"How can you be like this! You know the police line can't be reached right now. Shouldn't you be the one to solve the problem you caused?"
Liu Yingan cursed angrily.
Before she finished scolding, she noticed that there was no sound from the other end.
Liu Ying'an originally thought that Mo Fei had hung up the phone, but when she pressed the phone she found that it was out of battery.
In order to force her to open the door, the property management deliberately cut off her power supply. Her phone's battery lasted for two days in power saving mode, but now it's still out of power.
Before calling Mo Fei, Liu Ying'an called his family.
But there was a busy tone on the other end, and no one answered. What should I do now? What should I do... Liu Yingan panicked.
In the moonlight coming in from the window, she moved all the tables that could be moved to block the door, but suddenly she heard a scream from the door.
Then there was a loud chewing sound.
Liu Ying'an bravely leaned close to the cat's eye to look, and saw only a white color.
