Ezikhathini eziningi, kuye kwenzeka kimi ukuthi ngidla i-apula futhi ngokungazelelwe ngiyabona ukuthi inesibungu esincane lapho. Lokhu kungaba okuvame kakhulu nokuvame ukwenzeka, ngasikhathi sinye okubi kakhulu okungenzeka kuwe, ikakhulukazi uma uthathe lelo apula esihlahleni sakho se-apula, ngoba impela akulona ukuphela kwe-apula elinezibungu, kodwa kungaba njalo isifo okuthinte kakhulu izithelo.
Lolu hlobo lwezibungu, olubizwa ngokuthi ama-drill noma ama-auger, okuyisibungu sovemvane oluncane, olubekela amaqanda alo emaqabungeni izihlahla zama-apulaBadla isithelo futhi bahlala ngaphakathi kwaso. Kungalesi sizathu singathola ama-apula athile adliwe ngaphakathi agcwele indle yalezi zimpethu nezibungu zazo.
E-apula, izibungu bangahlala isikhathi esingaphezu kwamasonto amane, uma leso sikhathi sesiphelile bashiya isithelo bese belenga phansi ngentambo kasilika. Kamuva, baya esigabeni se-pupal, lapho bayohlala khona ebusika. Kulapho baqhuba khona inqubo yabo yokuguqulwa kwesimo kuze kube yilapho kuvela uvemvane oluncane emgodini ngesikhathi sentwasahlobo futhi inqubo efanayo iphinde yenzeke futhi.
Ukuze ukwazi ukulawula lesi silokazane, kufanele usebenzise ama-insecticide, noma ungasebenzisa futhi i- a ikhambi lemvelo, okubandakanya ukususa kancane kancane ama-apula abolile, uwanike imfuyo noma uwashise, ukugwema ngale ndlela ukuthi inhlupho iba nkulu futhi ihlasele isihlahla sakho se-aphula sonke.
