Insects will immediately appear in a house that is rarely cleaned and the trash is not taken out on time.

But midges will settle even in apartments where perfect order and cleanliness reign. And one of the reasons for the appearance of insects in the house is indoor flowers.

However, the presence of midges carries with it dangers.
