把黄瓜片放在食品柜里驱除蟑螂是过去的一个民间验方。黄瓜片为什么能起驱虫作用,当时是不知道的。现在,科学家们研究出了黄瓜驱虫的原理,并在研制利用黄瓜驱虫原理的一些产品。美国堪萨斯大学化学家Clifton E.Meloan和研究生Rory Scriven一直在对黄瓜和蟑螂的关系进行研究。整条的黄瓜基本上是没有驱除蟑螂的效果的,但压碎的黄瓜或黄瓜片几乎能驱除所有的美洲蟑螂。 Placing cucumber slices in a food cabinet to get rid of cockroaches is a folk recipe of the past. Why cucumber tablets can play a role in deworming, was not aware of. Now scientists have worked out the principle of de-worming cucumbers and are developing products that use the principle of de-worming cucumbers. Clifton E. Meloan, a chemist at the University of Kansas, and graduate student Rory Scriven have been studying the relationship between cucumber and cockroaches. The whole cucumber is basically not repel cockroaches, but crushed cucumber or cucumber pieces can almost get rid of all American cockroaches.
