Bed Bug Exterminators Share Tips to Prevent, Combat and Kill Bed Bugs

You might think that bed bug exterminators wouldn't want to share their knowledge with anyone. After all, if they tell you how to prevent or kill these bugs, then you won't need them, right? Sharing tips means money that won't end up in their pockets.

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

On the other hand, several bed bug exterminators have decided to share suggestions and tips on bug management since the bed bug issue has greatly escalated in the past few years. New York, Toronto and several other large cities are dealing with serious bug infestation problems.

Bed Bug Exterminators' Tips to Prevent Infestations

The easiest way to control these bugs is to prevent them from coming home with you in the first place.

Bed bugs are a small (a full grown adult is about the size of a grain of rice), very mobile critter. They can walk easily. Their bodies are flat, which means that they can hide in very small spaces.

Most infestations start very quietly, bed bug exterminators report. You may stay at a hotel where the bugs have nested. You may bring them home from a friend's house in your suitcase or on your clothing.

You could be Mr. Clean and it would not matter. These bugs are not deterred by disinfectants or strong cleaners. If they can hitch a ride with you, they will. They're like cockroaches in this respect.

Most bed bug exterminators recommend that if you suspect the bugs where you're staying, take a good look around. Examine the cracks and crevices of the beds and furniture, particularly the stuffed sofas and chairs. Look for evidence of the bugs through small dark red or brown spots, which can either be blood or bug excrement. These will be small spots in a localized area.

If you see evidence of the bugs' presence, or even think you do, then keep any personal items away from that area. Put your suitcase(s) in the bathtub. The same goes for additional clothing and purses.

Bed Bug Exterminators' Tips to Combat Infestations

The bad news is that you think you've found bed bugs. The good news is that there is help available!

Of course, your best bet is to retain one of the bed bug exterminators in your area. They can reduce the hassle and inconvenience, and they will keep coming back until they have your bug problem solved!

Sometimes, though, you don't have that luxury. In that case, here's what you do:

Remove all bed clothing and all of your clothing from any affected room(s). Bed bug exterminators advise that these critters can live without food for as long as one year (yes, really!), so you want to take decisive action.

These critters can also survive temperatures of up to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. This means you will want to wash all of your clothing and bedding, and even curtains, in HOT water, or dry clean them. This is a MUST! If you miss even one breeding pair, this is all a useless exercise.

These bugs do not like light. Bed bug exterminators recommend searching for bugs in any dark, quiet spot, since they typically sleep during the day and only emerge in the safety of darkness. This can be under the mattress, so you'll want to check the box spring carefully. These bugs have even been known to hide behind light switchplates.

The next step is to vacuum. Vacuum everything and everywhere! Use a vacuum that has a disposable bag. Take a crevice wand and vacuum the bare mattress seams and cracks. Vacuum the crevices where the wall and the floor meet. Vacuum anyplace you see those small reddish brown spots. Vacuum the cracks in the sofa and other furniture, and you can even vacuum the curtains.

When you're done vacuuming, take the vacuum outside and remove the bag. Place it immediately in a plastic garbage bag and tie off tight. If you have an incinerator, use it. Otherwise, dispose of the trash bag right way.

Bed Bug Exterminators' Tips to Kill These Bad Bugs

Buy, borrow or rent a steam cleaner. Make sure the steam will get to more than 113 degrees, or you'll just annoy the bugs and not kill them. Steam clean every area that you just vacuumed, the crevices and cracks of the bare mattress, the seams, the cracks where carpet and floor meet, the furniture.

Be thorough! You don't want even one bad bug to escape!

Buy a few pounds of diatomaceous earth. This is a fine powder that is harmless to humans but will kill bed bugs (and other bugs). Diatomaceous earth, or DE, is made from the shells of prehistoric diatoms. The shells are very tiny and they have very sharp edges. The bugs will walk through the ground shells and the sharp edges will cut them, causing them to bleed to death.

Sprinkle the DE everywhere that you've vacuumed and steam cleaned, once the items have dried after the steam cleaning. If there are any bugs that you've missed, bed bug exterminators advise that the DE should catch them and kill them.

What's next?

That's it. Hopefully your thorough bug removal program has caught all of the bed bugs and eggs. If you still find evidence of these critters after following your bug extermination program, then you may want to call one of your local bed bug exterminators.

Helpful Tips

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm.

4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank so you're getting less gas for your money.

Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump'.

5. Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth.

6. Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home", can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have to worry about pets or small children being harmed!

7. If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two, Viola! It unseals easily.

8. Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. This was featured on a cooking channel and it really works.

9. Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

10. To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

11. Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.

12. Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep mosquitoes away. Another remedy is to spray yourself with mouth wash.

13. To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

14. Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and ** ta da!--static is gone.

15. Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Add your ingredient such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

16. Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.

17. Can't afford to pay high prices for pot pourie? Trim some of the tops and buds off the flowers of your choice. place in a glass jar with the lid loose but covering the opening. Add Rosemary, Thyme and cinnamon and then shake it good. Open the jar. As the flowers dry out, they will fill the room with scent.

18. When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

19. The heating unit went out on my clothes dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. WELL....the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free - that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box, well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire and potentially burn your house down! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer last at least twice as long!

20. Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.

21. To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

22. To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Everything You Need to Know About Piano Moving

Moving can be a very stressful time in a person's life, especially if he or she has not hired appropriate help to move their furniture. Piano moves can be especially stressful, because the mover needs to have special knowledge and skills to safely move the piano. In this article I have outline a few frequently asked questions about piano moving in order to help understand what is involved in moving a piano and prepare you with the information to choose the right mover. At the end of the article, I have listed some questions that you can ask to help you choose your piano mover, as well as the information that you should have ready in order for the mover to be sufficiently prepared for your move.

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

Why do I need to hire a professional piano mover?

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

Many of you may be wondering why you would need to hire a professional piano moving company to move your piano, rather than using the household mover who is moving the rest of the contents of your house. The main reason for hiring a professional piano mover is that many household movers do not have adequate training or equipment to properly move a piano.

The average upright piano weighs between 400 and 900 pounds. Grand pianos can weigh between 650 and 1300 pounds. The value of a piano can vary from a few hundred dollars to 500,000 dollars depending on the make, model, age and condition of the piano. The majority of piano moves involve moving the instrument through a tight space such as a small door frame or staircase. In some cases, the piano may need to be dismantled in order to get it out of your house. Using and experienced professional piano mover will drastically minimize the risk of damage to the instrument and to your home.

As a piano mover, I have come across many cases where a customer has hired a household piano mover to move their piano and has had to make an emergency call to us because the household mover could not get the piano out of his or her house. In other cases, I have received calls from customers who had hired a non-reliable piano mover because their price was much lower, and had to book an emergency move with us, because that piano mover did not show up to move their piano or call to explain why they were not there.

How are pianos moved?

When you hire a professional piano mover, you can expect 2-3 people to come to your home equipped with piano skids, moving pads, ramps, slings, and the knowledge of how to move your piano safely. They will use special techniques to maneuver the piano out of your house. When the piano is put on the truck, it will be safely secured to the vehicle in order to avoid damage during transport. In the most difficult moves, 4-6 people may be used. Generally when a piano is moved by someone other than a professional piano mover, this equipment, knowledge and these safety precautions are not employed. While hiring a professional piano mover does not completely eliminate the risk of damage, it will drastically reduce this risk. Furthermore, a good piano mover will assess the situation and inform you if there is a chance of damage before he or she begins the move, and will give you the option of proceeding or not.

Are all professional piano movers equal?

Unfortunately, as in any trade, each piano moving company varies in their level of quality and experience. Some piano movers are better equipped and more prepared than others and act with more care and integrity than others. The best way to find a good piano mover is to call around to your local piano stores, piano technicians and piano teachers to find out which company they use. Piano stores in particular have a high stake in ensuring that they use reliable, high quality piano movers who have the least risk of damaging their instruments and are properly insured in the event that the unforeseen does happen.

Are all piano movers similarly insured?

Sadly, the answer to this question is no.
There are 3 types of insurance to consider when hiring a piano mover:
1. Commercial/automotive insurance: Is the company insured against damage to property and or vehicles?
2. Cartage/content insurance: Is the company insured against damage to the piano?
3. Workman's Safety Insurance: Is the company insuring its workers against injury?
Some piano moving companies are insured for 1 or 2 of these types of insurance, but not all 3. It is the buyer's responsibility to make sure that he/she is properly insured, not the moving company. It is a good idea to ask about these 3 types of insurance when you are phoning piano moving companies, and also to ask what amount of insurance your piano will be covered for. A properly insured moving company should provide you with a Bill of lading, which is a legal document stating what is being moved, the names of all parties involved in the move, where the piano is being moved from and to, and the full declared insured value of the instrument. The Bill of lading should also include the moving company's terms of cartage. As a legal document, a proper bill of lading helps to ensure that the piano mover will repair any damages that were incurred during the move (unless a damage waiver was signed). It is also important to note that any damage caused to your piano or your property must be noted on the bill of lading to ensure that you have proper recourse if any action is needed.

Why is worker injury important to me?

You may be wondering why it is important that you ensure that the piano mover you hire has Workman's Safety Insurance. When you contract a moving company, they are considered your employee for the time that they are working for you. If you hire a moving company that is not covered for Workman's Safety Insurance, you are accepting full liability for any employees who are injured while working for you. Your liability will extend to medical bills, lost wages and possibly civil law suits. A company who is covered for Workman's Safety Insurance will take care of most of these problems for you. Some companies do not pay their required insurance premiums and are therefore not covered for all injury insurance claims. You may ask the company that you are hiring to provide you with an up-to-date workman's safety insurance clearance certificate, in order to ensure that you are properly covered. To be absolutely sure that the moving company's coverage is up to date, you can contact your local Workman's Compensation or Workman's Safety Insurance board to check on the company's status.

Does moving the piano affect the sound of my piano?

The actual move of the piano does not affect the sound or tuning of a piano. Generally piano tuning is affected by changes in temperature and humidity which cause the wooden and steel parts of your piano to expand and contract. You will probably need to tune your piano a few weeks after moving it, after it acclimatizes to its new location. Other factors that may affect the sound of your piano are the size and acoustics of the room in which the piano is located. Carpet absorbs sound, while hardwood reflects it. Sound reinforces in small spaces, seeming louder, while in large spaces the sound gets lost, seeming quieter.

How much does it cost to move a piano?

Piano moving is generally billed in one of two ways:

1. The household mover way - hourly rate, with a minimum number of hours (usually min. = 3 hours)

2. The professional piano mover way - flat rate based on the following factors:

a. Type (upright, grand) and size of piano
b. Distance being moved

c. Difficulty level due to stairs, grass pulls, tight turns etc.

d. Time restraints place on the move

e. Waiting time that might be incurred.

The advantage of a flat rate system is that, barring any unforeseen events, you be able to get an accurate idea of what the move will cost you before the movers arrive at your house and it is often less expensive than the hourly rate.

How much notice do I need to give the Piano Mover?

The amount of notice needed will depend on when and where you need the piano to be moved. Most piano movers book their deliveries on a first come, first served basis. If it is a high traffic time of year, you may need up to one month's notice. In a lower traffic time of year, you may only need one or two day' notice. Generally, if you need your piano moved on a specific day, you should book the delivery well in advance to make sure it's available to you.

Below are listed some recommended questions to ask when you are looking to hire a piano mover:

1. How long have you been moving pianos?

2. Do you have any references?

3. Do you have full-time, trained staff moving pianos for you?

4. How do you charge for moving, and what are your rates?

5. What days of the week do you move pianos, and what is your availability?

6. Are you covered for Commercial/automotive insurance, Cartage/content insurance, and workman's safety insurance?

7. Will you provide me with a copy of your workman's safety insurance clearance certificate?

8. What amount will my piano be insured for during the move? What does this insurance cover?

9. What are your terms of cartage? Will you provide me with a copy?

10. Will I be provided will a bill of lading when my piano is moved?

Listed below is the information that you should have prepared when you book your piano move:

1. What type of piano is it that you require to be moved? (Upright or Grand Piano)

2. What size of piano is it? (upright pianos are measured by height [floor to lid] and grand pianos are measured by longest length [keyboard to curve in bow end])

3. Where is it being picked up from? (Have full address including postal or zip code)

4. Where is it being delivered to? (Have full address including postal or zip code)

5. Are there any stairs that the piano needs to go up or down (inside and outside)? If so, how many? Are they straight, spiraled or curved? Based on what you tell the piano mover, he/she will tell you how many people they believe it will accomplish your move. Missing important details or difficulties, or miss-estimating your move based on the information you have provided could mean that your piano move might not happen that day, and could incur you more charges.

6. When are you looking to have the piano moved?

7. Are there any time restraints involved? (As time-restraints tend to hamper the efficiency of the mover's day, placing a time-restraint on the mover could more than double your cost.)

8. Inform the piano mover of any problems that you can foresee ahead of time.

The more information you can provide the piano mover, the more accurate your quote will be. If you are vague and provide few details, do not be surprised if you incur extra charges for your move. A good, reputable piano mover will make the process as painless as possible for you and usually be the highlight and most stress-free part of your whole moving process. They key is ensuring that the mover meets all of your requirements and providing them with the information they need to help you properly.

Kid Birthday Party Invitations - 12 Things You Must Include

Why do you send birthday party invitations?

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

Do YOUR invitations get people to your party?

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

If you're like most people, when you send out invitations for your child's upcoming birthday party, you worry (at least a little) that no one will show up.

And if no one shows up for your child's special day, your child's heart will be broken. And that's not a fun way to spend your birthday.

Why do we send invitations?

This may seem like a silly question, but it isn't. We really have to understand the goal if we ever hope to accomplish the goal.

And the goal of a birthday party invitation is?

To get everyone that's invited to your party!

Sounds simple enough. But who are we inviting? Well for your child's birthday, you're inviting their friends. And their friends are children.

And how do you invite those children? By sending a birthday invitation to them by way of their parents.

So how do you get the parents of the children you've invited to make sure their children go to your party?

The secret to success is the information in your invitations.

You'd be surprised how often people make simple mistakes on their invitation by forgetting to include all the information parents need.

Make it EASY for them to RSVP and have their children at your party.

Kid Birthday Party Invitations - Your number one priority

In this fast-paced world of ours, where family and kid's activities have everyone (including you) going in 6 different directions at once, you HAVE to give folks time to put this important event on their calendars.

What Information You Must Include

The invitation headline should tell them it's a kid birthday party invitation.

If you just use your child's first name, they may have another friend with the same name, so make it easy for them by using your child's first and last name.

This is very helpful for anyone that wants to get your child a birthday gift.

Make it easy for the other parents to check their own calendars.

Is your party before, during or after lunch?

This is very important for a number of reasons. By stating what time your party ends, you will avoid being stuck with a house full of kids bouncing off your walls, waiting for a parent to pick them up (and rescue you).

Where is your party going to be? At your home, a local park, restaurant, fire department, ball park or? And remember to include the street address, name of the street and apartment number. You should also include a simple map. If it's a location other than your home, include a contact phone number or your cell phone number.

Are having a theme party? What is your theme? Are your guests encouraged to wear theme related costumes?

Parents need to know if their child should have lunch before going to the party. Parents with children who are diabetic will need to let you know if they're child can have treats or not.

If you really want parents to RSVP, you need to give them a deadline. State that they must RSVP by a certain date. If you're party is going to be in a restaurant, let them know, so they will understand that you have to give the restaurant the expected number of guests. Make sure you include an RSVP phone number.

Kid Birthday Party Invitations - Success!

And finally, about one week before your child's birthday party, pick up the phone and call each parent, ask them if they received the invitation and ask them if their child will be attending the party. This kind of "gentle reminder" will be appreciated and will help insure the best turn out for your child's party.

If you're like most people, when you send out invitations for your child's upcoming birthday party, you worry (at least a little) that no one will show up. But if you take just a little time to follow these simple guidelines, your kid birthday party invitations will be successful.

Have fun

Avoid Laundry Nightmares

Although some laundry mishaps are unavoidable, we can all learn from our mistakes. We have all had things shrink, turn pink, come out dingy or even stink. There are ways to fix things.

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

Shrunken Clothes - While some shrunken clothes may as well be handed down to smaller people, some can be fixed. Some tee shirts will re-size themselves if washed again. Wash the shirt in cold water, place in the dryer for a minute, shake it out vigorously and hang to dry. Some will defy you and stay small but it is worth a try. Some sweaters can also be re-sized. Gently hand-wash the sweater, squeeze out water, place the sweater on a towel and roll the sweater up with the towel to remove more water. Unroll and gently reshape. 

Sealy Posturepedic Full Size Mattress

Pink Clothes - As pretty as the colour pink is, there is too much of a good thing. No one wants pink underwear, pink socks, pink shirts and pink pants. That is what you will get, however, if you do not sort carefully. If you do end up with a washer-full of pink clothes then try the following; if the clothes used to be white you can bleach the load. If there are patterns in the clothes, however, you will not want to bleach because you will also remove the patterns. For this, look for a colour remover, however, this might also remove other patterns so start small. If all else fails, you can tie-dye the clothes.

Dingy Clothes - If your white clothes are not actually white any more (they might be yellowish, grayish or in between) than it is time to take action. Bleach will not work here, it will only intensify said colour. Try the following to get your clothes brighter; soak your dingy clothes in a bucket of cold water with around 4 squirts of liquid dish soap. Rinse out the clothes and soak them in a bucket of warm water and 3 tablespoons of vinegar. Rinse the clothes until there are no suds or vinegar smell.

Smelly Clothes - If you have ever forgotten your clothes in the washer only to remember the next day (or several days afterwards) then you know what I am talking about. If it is just a matter of stinky clothes, then a second wash should do the trick. If mildew has formed, however, you will need to wash whites in regular bleach and colours in colour-safe bleach.

Many laundry disasters are fixable and even more are preventable. Read labels, know your machine, sort clothes, check pockets (shredded tissues, melted candy...) and always finish the loads you have started.
