Christmas is approaching and therefore also the purchase of Christmas trees
Real tree
Christmas is, above all, about the Christmas tree. Some families prefer an artificial tree, others a real one.
If you and your family belong to those who prefer a real tree in your room, heed the following warnings.
Dangerous worms are likely hiding in a real tree.
Uninvited visitors
For many people, Christmas is the most beautiful and most beloved time of the year. Christmas is a time when we spend time with family and friends, eat traditional food, and clean and decorate the home.
Above all, we are very happy until unwelcome guests invade our home. But often we don’t even know about them.
We don’t mean people, family members or friends, but pests. We often suffer from them in our homes without even noticing.
They seek the warmth of the home
Many people have no idea that the current outdoor temperature is not suitable at all for small insects. Therefore this tiny insect looks for a warm place where it can survive.
You may have noticed that when it gets colder outside, much more tiny insects begin to appear in your house or apartment.
When it’s cold outside, insects overwinter in the crowns of trees, so if there’s a real tree there, it’s very likely that insects are hiding there. If you have an artificial tree, the problem does not concern you. Otherwise, we’ll show you what to watch out for.
Risk
Buying a Christmas tree is one of the most popular traditions in most families and an artificial tree certainly does not compare to the pleasant scent of needles.
But a real tree also carries certain risks. For this reason, attention must be paid to the blind inhabitants of the tree. If you don’t want your home infested with insects, you should pay attention to the photos below.
The most common inhabitants are aphids, followed by beetles, scale insects, lice and mites. The presence of insects can be recognized by holes in the bark, eggs or by chewed twigs.
