Stop Bugging Me

Bed Bugs have become a very big problem all over the United States, here in New York last year there were 12, 768 complaints in NYC and had to close public schools as well as the Time building and even Empire State Building.  Here in Long Island I haven’t heard to many cases, but my local town library had them.

The 10 most  bed bug infested cities are:

  • New York, NY
  • Philadelphia, PA
  • Detroit, MI
  • Cincinnati, OH
  • Chicago, IL
  • Denver, CO
  • Columbus, OH
  • Dayton, OH
  • Washington, D.C.
  • Los Angeles, CA

Bed bug outbreaks are widespread, and getting rid of them can be tuff and very exspensive. They now have a over the counter product you can buy to help protect you from Bed bugs. Stop Bugging Me!

Most bed bug products have either been rebranded to cash in on teh bed bug craze or are harmful to humans and pets.  Stop Bugging Me! is a completely natural, green treatment that is safe for the entire family-including pets-and is laboratory testedand proven to eliminate and prevent bed bugs and their eggs on contact.  Just spray on bed bug infested areas and you will be protected for 2 weeks.

*** I do not have bed bugs but I know someone who does and I gave this product to them. They sprayed and the bedbugs unfortunately were still there. They were not in the mattress though, they were in the headboard. they sprayed the headboard and saw a few die, but the best solution was to remove the headboard. They sprayed all areas around the room closet, dresser and haven’t had a problem since.

They sizes are a 12oz bottle or the travel size 3 oz, which is good for those Hotels that don’t advertise they have bed bugs.  When they arrived they leaked in the box, so if you travel be sure to keep it in a secure place and wrapped up.

This product can be purchased at select retailers for $19.99 for a 12 oz bottle.

Rio DVD Review and Giveaway Closed

Captured as a young bird from the wild, Blu is a domesticated Spix Macaw living thousands of miles away from his homeland, Brazil. When his human owner Linda discovers that he is the last male of his kind, they head south to Rio de Janeiro to meet the only other female. But it’s far from love at first sight between the socially-awkward, flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent, high-flying female, Jewel. Shortly after Blu’s arrival, the two rare birds are captured by greedy animal smugglers and find themselves lost in the Brazilian rainforest. Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on a hilarious and clumsy adventure where they learn about friendship, love, courage and spreading one’s wings to fly.

**** My kids and I absolutely love this movie, it is hilarious.  We have watched it like six times in the past few days. The movie is set in Rio and of course everything is colorful and musical.   Blu os captured as a baby and raised by a human, he and a female bird in captivity in Rio are the last blue Macaws on Earth. They are trying to mate the birds, but they are stolen they end up escaping into the wild.  It’s a fun journey that of course has a happy ending! Of favorite characters are Nico and Pedro, we love the drop it low song.
