Brilio.net - Rice is people's daily staple food. In fact, some people think that if they haven't eaten rice, it doesn't mean they can't be considered eating. Apart from making you full, rice does have good nutrition for the body, as long as it is not consumed in excess, OK? It's not surprising that many people often stock up on rice at home.
But if you misplace your rice stock, dirt and animals such as fleas can appear, you know. The presence of rice lice is often an annoying problem. This will definitely give you a headache, because rice lice are difficult to eradicate.
On the other hand, the appearance of rice lice can also damage the quality of rice and make it unfit for consumption. Even though rice bugs don't bite humans, they reduce your appetite because of the presence of insects in your food, right?

First, prepare the rice from which you want to remove lice. Then prepare a container that has long dimensions such as a glass tray. Then fill the tray with sufficient water. This is to trap the rice lice that you want to get rid of.

After that, prepare a container to accommodate the infested rice. Make sure, this container has smaller dimensions than the container containing water, OK? After that, put the rice container on a tray filled with water.

Then, prepare another small container such as a bowl. Then, put the bowl in the middle of the rice. After that, fill the bowl with the first kitchen ingredient, namely vinegar.
Apart from vinegar, you also need to add a second kitchen ingredient, namely cloves. Prepare some cloves then spread them in several corners of the rice.
These two kitchen ingredients are used so that annoying rice lice can come out of the pile of rice. The combination of cloves and vinegar will produce a strong aroma. Well, the rice lice don't like the aroma, so the small animals will climb out of the container.

Next, so that the rice lice don't stick to the side of the container, make a bridge for the rice lice. You can use paper or tissue, then combine it with rice and water.
That way, the rice lice will climb onto the bridge and sink into the water. Now, rice lice can be removed from rice at home. It's very easy, isn't it?
