Ants
Here in the US in the Spring months, ants seem to be the most common pest. In the yard, in the home and everywhere. Did you know that ants can carry over 25 times their weight and they out number us a million to one.
Ants are social insects that live in colonies. From my research I have found that there are over 20,000 kinds of ants that vary in color, size and the way they live. Ants are distinguished by a node or bump on their waist. Take a look at this photo of a Carpenter Ant. See the pointed thing in the center of its body. Carpenter ants have 1 node. Some ants have 2 nodes.
Some ants live in tunnels in the ground. Other ants live in trees and hollow logs. Ant colonies may be small or reach into the hundreds, thousands or even millions of inhabitants. Larger colonies may have many queens whose only job is to lay eggs. Most ants in the colony are workers. All workers are female (no way).
If you are having problems with ants getting into your home you must first take a look around the outside of your foundation. If these ants are small, you will have to look close. Look in an area close to where you see them in your home. You will probably see them crawling up your foundation or along the foundation entering into a weep hole or other tiny crack or entering up under siding. Lots of leaves or mulch around the foundation can be a nesting place and just an invitation for them to live.
Ants are tough characters. Spraying an insecticide on ants will definitely kill them on contact. If you can't find the nest, they will just return. Once the spray dries they will just crawl right over it and laugh at you. If the nest isn't found they will just return or possibly just move to another area.
I'm not endorsing any product but there is one that works great. It's for termites but it is also labeled for ants. The label must be followed and adhered to. It's called Termidor. Sorry, it can't be bought over the counter and can only be used by licensed pest control professionals. Why am I telling you this if you can't buy it yourself? By the chance that you have a pest control service at your home. If you do and have a severe ant problem, ask your service if they will use Termidor.
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
Spring Cleaning Tips and Advice
By Matt Trostle
It's that time of year again! Time to break out the cleaning supplies and trash bags. That yearly spring ritual is upon us. You hate to think of the time it is going to take you. You wonder if wasting a whole Saturday or even the whole weekend is worth it. We want everything done instantly, that's the fast paced world we are living in today.
We've got some spring cleaning tips and advice from the pros that will help you get done in record time. Professional home cleaners come prepared and they're not going to waste any time. If you can afford it, hire them! If you can't hire the professionals here's how to get it done just like you did.
How To Do Spring Cleaning The Right Way
Motivation is key to getting things done and getting them done fast. Motivate yourself and the family with a special outing when the project is complete. The professionals don't take TV or email breaks and you shouldn't either. The ultimate goal for professionals is to get in and get out, for you it's get done and move on!
Listen to some music that really gets you moving. You could even load an audio book onto your iPod and listen to that while you clean. That's multitasking at its best!
Don't forget that dirt and dust follow the laws of gravity. It falls just like everything else. So, start at the top and work your way down.
Spring Cleaning Safety Tips
Make sure you dress for the job. You want to be comfortable but functional. The clothes you wear should be loose but not so loose as to catch on corners, doorknobs, or anything that could spill.
If you're going to be on your knees a lot, look at investing in some knee pads. The professionals use them, and for good reason. You'll loose steam and motivation quickly if you start feeling uncomfortable.
Don't forget the gloves! These can keep the germs and chemicals off your skin. The regular yellow cleaning gloves you see at any grocery store will work fine.
Have a Plan!
Probably the most important thing you're going to want to do, before you even break out the mop, is have a plan! This alone can cut a major amount of time off your spring cleaning project. Instead of guessing what to do next, you'll have your plan of action right in front of you.
Top of the list: pick up the clutter.
You don't want to slide your junk from side to side or just clean under and around it. Doing this first will make your whole job easier.

Bad Food
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa. "The material we put
into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.
Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food
is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us
realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water.
But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat
it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and
suffering for years after eating it?"
After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised
his hand, and softly said, "Wedding cake."
