Recently, a father and daughter in mainland China won a doll from a claw machine. However they were shocked by discovering the doll was filled with numerous insect eggs. A former employee from the toy store explained that this might be due to the toy being stored in the machine for an extended period, exposed to strong light and warmth, creating an ideal environment for insects to lay eggs.

To prevent pest issues, store owners should regularly organize their inventory, clean shelves, and inspect products for insect eggs and remains. Hiring a professional pest control service for routine checks and extermination can also effectively reduce pest-related problems in the shop.

For consumers, washing the toy in hot water after winning it can kill any potential insect eggs. Furthermore, regularly spraying safe insecticides can help to prevent pest infestations.
