Ya know, I have to hang my head with a lot of the "Really, America?" shit. Yes, my home is a bit weird.
But it's not like we got aaaaaaall the weird.
It is fukin bizzare to let insects crawl on your food and then desire or use said food in any way other than feeding pigs.
It's nearly impossible to keep wasps and flies out of your store.
This is not true. We have stores with flies. I don't go to those stores.
As for wasps, I understand there are legal restrictions here. Boy, that is pretty strange. For wasps. Wasps do just fine without our help.
Tell me your secret on how to get these things out of a building, it's already freaking hard in a house where the door doesn't open every 5 minutes.
Flies or wasps are also a completely different thing. The worst/only thing that can happen with wasps is that one doesn't move away when you take a bite and stings you.
Edit: yes I know mosquito nets etc will help against flies, but that generally doesn't help in a store (depending on the type of door even impossible). Plus once they open insects like to get in with the people at the same time and even if nothing opens they tend to find a way in a lot of buildings.
In the US, many stores with food (grocery stores, restaurants) have what’s essentially a crappy pressurized airlock. You go through one set of doors, above which is an outward-facing blower, into a small room with higher pressure, then through another set of doors. The airlock is also often filled with hidden bug zappers, but even without them, insects getting in would be drastically reduced.
Well yeah that works I guess, impossible to fit into old and often small buildings though so not an option for us. Let alone at home!
Thx for the response!
For older and smaller buildings with food, we often have an “air curtain” generated by a blower above the door. https://berner.com/air-curtains-101/types-of-air-curtains/
Though I’ve never seen a home with one.
Well, that's the nice thing about civilization. We get to divide up labor into specialties. I don't own a bakery, so I don't have the secret you've inquired about. I get to choose which places I shop, and I make sure its places without bugs. If I have a secret at all, its the power of the purse.
