Second, the method of catching leeches

① can be caught in paddy fields, ponds, canals and other waters day or night. Leeches are very sensitive to the movement and movement of water. As long as they are stirred in the water with a net bag, the leeches will swim out of the soil and water plants, and they can be caught with net pockets.

② was trapped with pig blood. First tie the dry straw into two tight middle loose straw handles, and then inject pig blood (0.5 kg per mu of field) into the straw handle and place it horizontally at the field inlet. The water intake should not be too large, and it is generally advisable that water can slowly flow into the field through the grass handle. Let the water slowly rinse the pig blood into silk and scatter the whole field, and use the fishy smell of the blood to lure the leeches to the grass to absorb the pig blood that has not yet flowed out. When the leeches are full and the body expands, it will be difficult to climb out again. 4 to 5 hours after putting in the grass handle, the grass handle can be removed and leeches can be collected. If there is no pig blood, it can also be replaced by the blood of chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock and poultry, and the same effect can be achieved.
