Pest Control
Pest control these days can be very expensive. Depending on the type of pest and the specific problem, pest control on your home can cost up to $400 or more.
Most of the larger companies usually want you to take out an agreement for one year, serviced on a quarterly basis. However, they will probably sell you a one time service at a higher price than normal if you insist on a one time service. My point is, if you are having a pest problem in the winter time it is more than likely a rat problem. Not always, but most of the time.
There are not too many insects such as ants, spiders, crickets and other insects scurrying about and entering our homes in the winter months. If you are going to sign an agreement for pest service for a year on a quarterly basis, the best time to do this is early spring or even as early as February depending on where you live. In certain parts of the US, carpenter ants usually start swarming as early as February. This way you will have a whole spring, summer and fall to receive your money's worth in pest control.
Signing a yearly agreement in the fall or just before fall is actually a waste of your hard earned dollars because your pest control operator will be coming back in the winter when no problem exists, forcing the service on you because remember, you signed an agreement for quarterly service.
Just a helpful hint!
Before You Sign a Contract For Pest Control Services: Be sure you fully understand the nature of the pest to be exterminated. Find out of the company has liability insurance to cover any damage to your home. If a guarantee is given, know what it covers. Don't expect a treatment to last indefinitely. Get bids from several different companies in order to compare prices. Discover what goes on behind the closed doors of your local pest control company. Pest Control Facts Revealed
How To Get Rid of Roaches
Author: Brenda H. Murphy
Although the following article makes good sense, the use of baits is not metioned. Baits work best on German cockroaches. I've decided to include this article for the benefit of my readers
Just the sight of one of these multi-legged, hard-shelled
visitors crawling across the floor is enough to make your toes
curl, and your screams can hit high notes you didn't realize
were possible. But what are you dealing with?
Roaches are a large, disgusting insect, with six legs, and 18
knee joints. (We were sure you'd want to know that.) There are
more than 5,000 species in the world, but the most common are
the German cockroach, and the American cockroach.
Initially cockroaches may infest your home from the outside,
finding cracks, gaps under doors, and other ways to enter the
home, attracted by warmth, darkness, and spoiling food or
standing water, in things like open garbage pails, unwashed
dishes. As big as they may seem, a cockroach can insinuate
itself through an opening as thin as a dime when young, or a
quarter as an adult. They don't like light, which is why many
homeowners can't believe it when the cat or dog presents them
with the remains of their latest victim. But you can't depend
on your pets to control the population.
The first measure in getting rid of cockroaches is hygiene. If
you have stored vegetables that are rotting, open containers of
food in cupboards, or unsecured garbage pails, remove all refuse
and replace containers with those that seal tightly. Check under
appliances, in cupboards, basement corners, and other dark
places for traces of a black gritty dirt that has an oily
appearance. This is roach feces and a sign that you do have a
problem.
Once your home is cleaned, your choices in removing them are to
do it yourself, or to have the home professionally treated by a
pest control company. Which you choose, may depend on the
severity of the infestation. The primary means of destroying
roaches are contact poisons/sprays, and residual sprays which
leave time released ingredients in your cupboards and on the
surfaces where sprayed, that will work over a period of 2-3
weeks. There are also the infamous "roach motels" that can be
placed in your cupboards. Sometimes it may take a combination
of several methods, such as an immediate contact kill
substance, and then roach motels in places where you have
evidence of previous inhabitants. Once your immediate problem
is eliminated, you can also take preventative measures, such as
sprinkling powdered boric acid in between walls, and around
foundations where they may have entered the house. This is
generally a safe product, and will be carried on the roaches
feet, to wherever they are hiding and breeding.
And one important note of caution for you: Pesticides can be
highly toxic to humans and pets. Spray treatments should never
be carried out without proper respiratory protection, and first
removing of all food, pets and dishes or other items that your
food may come in contact with.

During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see . ... Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed That her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."
A new, young MD doing his residency in OB was quite embarrassed performing female pelvic exams. To cover his embarrassment he had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom he was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassed him. He looked up from his work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener".
