How You Can Eliminate Bed Bugs From Your Home

Bed bugs are not considered dangerous to health and, unlike some pests, they do not spread disease, but this does not make them any less unwanted. Bites from bed bugs can cause excessive itching and loss of sleep. Scratching to relieve the itch can result in a secondary skin infection.
There are some actions you can take which can help eliminate bed bugs and we are going to have a look at a few. You can also enlist the help of a professional exterminator in dealing with the problem. If you want to know about bed bug control you can read more at the Milwaukee pest control website. We will discuss how important it can be to seek a solution from a pest control expert.

How do you know you have a problem with bed bugs?
One of the most obvious signs of a bed bug problem is if people in the household start to itch, bed bug bites can be very irritating. If you suspect you may have a problem with bed bugs you will need to examine the box spring and mattress on the bed for any signs, such as the bugs themselves, molted skins of bed bug nymphs which are light brown or the tell dark spots of bed bug excrement.
You will also need to check drawers, upholstered items of furniture, carpet edges and any cracks in the room; anywhere that a bed bug may call home.

What actions should you take?
Once you know you have a bed bug problem you will need to take action to alleviate it. It’s hard to treat a mattress or box spring but you can purchase bed bug proof mattress protectors through which bugs cannot escape; hence they are suffocated. These items can save you from having to invest in a new mattress and box spring.
Any bedding or clothing which has been affected will need to be washed at a temperature of 120°F minimum. You should also tumble dry on hot; the steam kills bed bugs.
You will need to thoroughly vacuum the entire area, paying special attention to edges and creases where bugs may be hidden. Remember that, once you have finished vacuuming, you will need to dispose of the contents of the vacuum in sealed trash bags.

How can professional exterminators help you deal with a bed bug problem?
If you have bed bugs in your home you don’t have to deal with them by yourself; hiring a pest control expert to help with the problem can be a perfect solution. Every home is different so the exterminator will speak to you about your specific issues, and will work with you to produce a detailed plan of how to deal with the bed bug infestation in your property. The professionals have vast experience of bed bug control which they can use to provide an efficient service in your case.

Science Fair Fun

For the past two years my daughters have taken part in the school science fair. The love it and get to experiment like their dad does everyday.

All their friends say that their science projects are good because their dad is a scientist. Thats not true at all, we strongly believe that they need to do the work on their own to achieve and learn. So the only thing I ever help with are ideas and pictures, The rest is all them.

Pictures From Long Island Blizzard #Blizzard2015

The big blizzard “Juno” everyone was worried about, was not actually that bad. Although Long Island got it worse than NYC, most of the news focus was on NYC.

We are still buried in 20 inches of snow here and it doesn’t look like it will be melting any time soon. Stores are completely out of salt and melt. Plus we have another storm coming Friday and Monday bringing snow.

Here are some pics from the Long Island Blizzard of 2015.

Finally A Bed He Likes

I have been struggling to get my 7 year old to sleep in his own bed all night. He ha our own bed, a queen size bed all to himself.

He will get scared in the middle of the night and sneak into my room or his sisters room to sleep. I have tried different things to get him to sleep in his own room to no avail.

Finally we agreed on if I bought him bed sheets that he liked, he would start sleeping in his own bed. So I agreed. I never thought of it because we had so many bed sets already.

But he finally has his own set up. Finally a bed he likes.

Lets hope it works in the long run.

We found these complete bed set at Kmart for $35.99, and decided on it because it was mostly red and black. The colors of Lightning McQueen.

No compensation was received for this post.

My Kids Don’t Believe In Mythical Creatures

When my kids were young it was fun for them to see Santa Clause and the Easter bunny and know that those characters brought them gifts. Usually most parents will go along with it until their children ask them if they are real.

We chose to tell our kids at a very young age the truth and that if they wanted to play the game then it was fine, but they needed to know the truth. They were five, six and seven when we told them, so now my kids don’t believe and we are fine with that.

There are multiple reasons we made this decision. First we didn’t want to lie, we want our children to know that honesty is the best policy. Telling the truth is always the right thing. We also felt that we were in way brainwashing our children into believing things that are mythical. If you believe in Santa why not believe in Fairies, genies and the Loch Ness Monster. As my kids got older they started to ask for things we couldn’t afford and I hate to see them disappointed on Christmas or Easter.

After the truth came out, my kids were fine no upsets. They still go get their picture taken with santa and the Easter Bunny just for fun. They play along with their friends at school to not spoil it for them.

The downside to them knowing would be that I am a softee and the know if they are not good, they will still get presents. They are still to young to anything that bad tough, so we will see. But I mean come on has anyone ever really given their kids coal.

At what age did you tell your kids?

What Will Be in 2015 #NewYear

2015 will have a lot of unknowns for me. This is the year that we may possibly be leaving the New York area in peruse of other options.

My husband will finally be graduating with his PHD, it’s been a long journey but well worth it.

Unknown

For No Time Mommy, I am hoping to take the blog up a notch with viewership and content. As I will be relocating this year, No Time Mommy will not be venturing out to many events this year.

So in other words as a mother it is going to be another crazy stressful year with kids, a big move and so much more.

What will be in 2015 for you?

It’s A Brand New Year

It’s a brand new year, and even though it is not starting out the way I had hoped. With everything going on in the world, I am determined to make it a good year.

I will not be making any resolutions this year, because to be honest I can’t keep them. I do have some goals…

What are your plans for the year? Anything big?

Starting off with a snow day.
