Brilio.net - For Indonesian people, rice has become a staple food that is consumed every day. This means that rice is often stored in large quantities as stock. Apart from being more practical to use, buying rice in large quantities is also considered more economical. How could it not be, the price of rice per kilogram is generally more expensive.

However, storing large amounts of rice also has risks. One of them is susceptible to being attacked by fleas. Yup! Rice lice are often a problem that stalks a number of people when storing large amounts of rice.

Basically, rice lice can be caused by several things. For example, the rice storage area is damp and the cleanliness of the rice purchased. In fact, rice infested with lice is often considered unfit for consumption, so it is simply thrown away.

But instead of throwing it away straight away, this rice can actually be cleaned again, you know. Some people usually get rid of rice lice by placing dried chilies or a container filled with vinegar in the rice storage area . The reason is, the aroma of chili and vinegar is considered to make fleas go away by themselves.

But apart from these two ingredients, there are other ingredients that are no less effective in repelling rice lice, you know. This material was used by TikTok user @adleiv. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that the three kitchen spices he used could get rid of rice lice quickly.

Indeed, before using these ingredients, he admitted that he had dried rice that was infested with lice. However, it turns out, this method is less effective. This was expressed directly through one of the uploaded videos.

"The intention was to stock up on rice, but instead it got lice. At first there were only one or two lice. But every time I washed the rice, there were more and more lice. I dried it in the sun, but only a few lice came out," said TikTok @adleiv, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday ( 7/3).

Then, to overcome this problem, he immediately added three kitchen spices, namely lime leaves, bay leaves and garlic. Just immerse this kitchen spice in the rice so that the aroma spreads even more. After that, store it or place it outdoors in an open condition.

"Keep it outside, so that the fleas that come out don't dirty the house," explained TikTok @adleiv.

Well, the aroma of lime leaves, bay leaves and garlic tends to be disliked by fleas. Therefore, rice lice will come out or go away by themselves. This makes the rice clean again quickly.

If it is clean, make sure the rice is stored properly. Clean the rice container and wipe until completely dry. Conditions in the container that are clean and not damp will minimize the appearance of rice lice. That way, the quality of the rice remains even if it is stored for a long time.
