Q: We have gnat larvae in our showerhead

We live in Chengdu and we've just discovered gnat larvae (I think) coming out of the nozzles in our shower head.  It's not a simple screw-on device and we don't have any tools to take it off.  We're also concerned the problem may be in our pipes and not just in the shower head.  Would calling a plumber or exterminator be helpful? Or does anyone have any home remedies for this problem?

Gnats always live near fruits and vegetables.   Store your fruits and vegetables in sealed containers.  Make sure you take out the garbage, and make sure you don't live near people who let garbage sit around for days.   Gnats do not live in shower heads or near water, but they might go up in there trying to find where the smell of rotting fruits and vegetables is coming from.

 

Of course, Gnat babies, like any other babies are very hungry.. So they're going to be born inside fruits and vegetables and not inside your shower head.  They don't live very long, a few days at most.

A:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications:English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
