Perhaps you once entered the summer in a place or in a friend of a friend, and you saw Number 58 is written everywhereWhat happens to these people? Is this superstition? Initial rite for the sect? Maybe even even numbers? There is no reality. These people hang number 58 for kicy to the fliesThe field yes, yes. When you read it. In fact, you may also have heard that it works for this, or even possible that you tried to do it at the time of despair. But is it really effective?
There is no quick answer. Flies do not understand numbers. This does not mean that there are no insects interested in mathematics. Bees can perform some simple operations or at least distinguish the amounts. But no, the flies know nothing about it. In fact, you cannot scare them with the help of numbers, do not try.
Presumably, number 58 serves for frightened flies, because They see it as if it were a webThe field and, of course, they try to avoid this. This is an idea that works quite a lot, but it does not have the slightest scientific evidence that support it, as explained in 2019 Gizmodo Entomologist Miguel Angel MirandaFrom the University of the Balearian Islands.
Flies see number 58 better than you think
It is true that the vision of flies is not as clear as ours, but they compensate for this with the help The ability to see 360ºFirst of all, they are able to capture moving images. In addition, they do it very quickly. They can process hundreds of movements around them in just a few seconds. There is even a study that indicates that his brain is able to process everything that he sees a lot faster than the best computersLet’s not underestimate the vision of flies.
In any case, both number 58 and the web are static images. They are not in motion. And we said that these insects do not see so sharply with us. Could there be confusion then?
The reality is that this is precisely the reason why this is not an effective method to scare away flies. He also explained this in 2019, this time to Verne, Diptera Expert Scientist Miguel Carl-TulraThe field during a survey on this method in order to hold insects far from insects, he explained that it was completely useless precisely because Flies cannot distinguish the webThe field “If they did it, they will not get into them.” You cannot be afraid of anything, whatever you know how it is.
So, how can we scare flies?
We have already seen that the method of number 58 This is a city legendThe field but there are several ways to scare away flies that are effective with science in the hand.
In fact, in 2021, two American scientists were responsible for the analysis of some of the most common methods that are usually used in houses to see, which have scientific evidence. They found that some of the most effective Ultraviolet lighting machines, stickers with windows or matanosThe field of the last two is obvious, true. But the first has more to explain.
And, traditionally, these machines Ultraviolet lamp system This attracts flies and, once inside, Electric boiler. The authors of the study saw that this is a problem, since electric current You can shoot insect fragments Far from the trap, so they should never be used in places where food is processed. In addition, it is not only about fragments of flies. They can also be shot Small particles with pathogens, Like bacteria that inhabit the body of a fly. That is why the best option is traps, which, in addition to ultraviolet lamps, have an adhesive system in which flies are trapped, without reduction.
On the other hand, it was clear that, contrary to what they used to think, flies did not like yellow. Therefore, a good way to scare away can paint the walls of this color. In fact, this is what is already being done in some school canteens of Indonesia. This is not a 100 % effective method, but, of course, you can scare more flies than placing posters with number 58 everywhere.
