How To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs - Tips On How To Kill Bed Bugs Quickly And Easily

While bed bugs are not the scourge of the earth that old wives' tales make them out to be, they are certainly unpleasant visitors to have at times and probably one of the last creatures on earth that anybody would like to share their bed with, but how do you get rid of bed bugs?

Unfortunately, simple cleaning methods will not do the trick alone. While a clean home is certainly a happy home bed bugs do not care; either way, your home and bed (or couch) is heaven to them and they are having a feast at your expense. Luckily, there are some ways to get rid of bed bugs, so you can feel more at ease in your own home and stop itching so much. After all, don't you deserve to be happy and comfortable in your humble abode? So let's learn how to kill bed bugs.

How do you get rid of bed bugs? The most tried and true method is extreme heat. If you live in the high desert, you have a greater advantage to getting rid of bugs than many others but bed bugs do not tend to last long in such a climate anyway. As a species, they cannot survive temperatures over 113 degrees Fahrenheit so extreme heat is the only reliable method of getting rid of the bed bug problem. For this reason, steam cleaning is a method that you can use on your own or hire an exterminator to do so if you can afford it. Getting rid of bed bugs is a great deal harder to do than it is to actually pick the parasites up; in order for the cleaning to be thorough everything in the affected area (preferably the entire home) must be stripped down to its barest so that the bed bugs are exposed, as they tend to hide out in small cracks and crevices. This includes caulking small spaces, removing light plates, taking the cushions off of couches and stripping down mattresses; in essence everything must be as bare as it could possibly be to prevent bed bugs from having the opportunity to hide out and escape the mass killing that is soon to befall all of their little friends.

After the steam cleaning has been done, the problem is no longer how to get rid of bed bugs but how to keep them gone; look for the marks on the sheets that indicate actual 'bed' bed bugs when you travel, and request a room change if necessary. Keep yoru luggage away from furniture so that they have less of an opportunity to hitchhike a ride back to your home, and be wary of your accommodations at all times.

From the Motel 6 to the Ritz, from your mother-in-law's house to your own home, bed bugs are a problem in all types of environments. It doesn't take a filthy mess to make a good home for bed bugs; as a matter of fact the only thing that bed bugs need to survive in this world is YOU.

Worms in Children - How to Treat Them and Avoid Them

Thread worms are thriving everyday in the bottoms of little children and affecting their daily activities and causing sleepless nights for many families. It's not a nice experience but easily identified and treated. I am frequently finding worms a problem for our little pre-school aged non-sleepers and mum and dad are horrified. Worms are spread very easily in the community across all social backgrounds and generations. They are spread most commonly in pre-schoolers' because in my experience the only things toddlers share are germs (and love) and this age group are not always efficient at hand washing, particularly before eating.

How do we identify a child with worms?

*An infected child has an itchy bottom!! They will naturally be very irritable during the day, frustrated, uncooperative, fidgety, not be able to sit still, cannot concentrate, argumentative and angry. Often the most common reason for children trying to climb out of the cot is that they have worms.

*You might suspect someone performed a personality transplant on your little angel!

*They want to scratch their bottom and will commonly be seen taking their clothes or nappy off.

*They will walk strangely like they are trying to keep a coin safely between their buttocks and having trouble (imagine).

*They will frequently urinate and or bed wet at night.

*They will not be able to go to sleep and not be able to explain why to you, but will be crying and uncomfortable, not naughty.

What to look for

*If you suspect worms, look for a pinky/red rash about 2cm wide completely around the outside of the genital area

*If you wish to look for worms, keep the room dark, ask for your partners help, comfort the child and 'spring' a torch light onto the exposed bottom. The worms come out at night to lay eggs. This process creates the uncomfortableness and irritability. So in the night time only you will see 1.5cm long wriggling pieces of white sewing cotton, moving fast away from the light, around the anal passage. In girls the worms can crawl into the vagina and be even more irritable.

How to get rid of them

*Firstly, collect as many worms as you can see immediately and dispose of them. Your child will feel calmer after the worms have disappeared from the skin.

*If you have a daughter and you suspect they are in the vaginal area, you can very gently slightly spread open the outer labia (flaps of skin) and if you see any worms, gently roll them onto a cotton bud (q tip). Tissues and cotton balls are too large and you won't be able to see what you are doing. (personal experience) This will provide immediate relief from the irritation of the worms trying to lay eggs in this sensitive area

*Apply a thick layer of Vaseline to the anal area to provide temporary relief to the skin and catch any worms that come out again in the night.

*Wash in hot water/use the dryer/hot sun on all linen, towels and clothing worn by the child. Repeat for the whole family. The worms can live outside the body long enough to infect everyone.

*There are a variety of medications to offer your family. There are one dose liquids, orange chewable tablets and chocolate squares, please do the whole family the day you find the worms and then again 7 days later in case of re-infestation See your pharmacist for the appropriate dose and the minimum age.

*It's a good idea to keep the medication in your medicine cupboard (personal experience), it will be late at night that you discover them, the shops will be closed and no-one can sleep if anyone else has worms crawling out of their bottom!

*Please inform your pre-school/daycare centre if your child has them (even anonymously if embarrassed) so that other families can be on the look out for them and the centre's can be more proactive with hygiene and symptoms in other children. Always think about whether you would appreciate the warning if another child had worms and played with your child.

How do children get worms?

*Through their mouth.

*The worms come out at night to lay their eggs in the tissue around the anal passage, this causes the skin irritation.

*The child scratches their bottom because it's itchy.

*The eggs get under the finger nails and are spread onto everything the child touches: toys, toilets, taps, towels, pencils, chairs, etc.

*The next child/person touches the same objects and then....doesn't wash their hands before eating/ touching the face and they swallow them.

Tip The simplest form of infection control used in hospitals everyday that prevents doctors and nurses from catching all of the bugs in the hospitals is HAND WASHING. Make it a family routine that no-one eats before they have washed and thoroughly dried their hands. Encourage this at pre-school and day care as well. If we start young enough the children will think it as normal as cleaning their teeth before bed or kissing you good bye. It is up to us as parents to start and lead by example with these sensible habits.

Bed Bugs and Bed Mites Are Different

One of the differences between bedbugs and bed mites is that the bedbugs feed on the human blood whereas the bed mites feed on the dead skin or hair. Bedbugs typically reside close to the human host, mostly near the bed or areas with furniture. Most people do not feel the bite right away, but they usually develop an itch after a while. Some people are also allergic to these bugs and would develop rash as a part of the reaction to the mite itself.

On the other hand, the bed mites would survive on the dead skin tissue and would cause no harm to the human host as such. However, since these are organisms of a kind, they would excrete waste. Some people are allergic to mites or dust mites, but in real, they are allergic to the waste excreted by them. The bedbug bite would look similar to the flea bite, but those are completely different conditions. Sometimes, the body would develop an allergic reaction from the bug's saliva that carries a few toxins. However, there are loads of people who are immune to the effects of bug bites, whereas it could be a serious problem for others.

The only way to get rid of these bugs or the mites would be to keep your surroundings clean. These days, there are different kinds of vacuum cleaners available, which would have enough suction power to eliminate the mites as well as the dead skin. You could also use a steamer to sterilise your bedding. The heat would kill the mites but you would still have to do your bit to clean up their dead bodies.

How to Kill Bed Bugs - Tips On How To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs Quickly And Easily

Many of us were put to sleep with the saying, 'good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite' as children, but have you ever really thought about what bed bugs were? Bed bugs are not as bad as everyone thinks they are, of course. They don't carry vicious diseases or imply uncleanliness--bed bugs can be picked up without you ever having to do anything but they are certainly a great deal harder to get rid of than they are to get. Luckily, learning how to kill bedbugs is not hard to do at all, and many of the things that you might have heard about their dogged tenacity to make your life miserable isn't true at all.

If you want to know the truth about how to eliminate bed bugs, put the mop and bucket down. Contrary to popular belief, bed bugs do not give a care in the world about the cleanliness of their surroundings. They are easily transmitted through clothing, luggage, boxes, and other vehicles from location to location and that is how they survive. Many people try the approach of just abandoning the premises for a while, in hopes that the bed bugs will be gone when they return but unfortunately they are known to live up to a year without a host to feed off of, so you might have to truly abandon your residence for that tactic to work.

A way to kill bed bugs more easily without having to move out of your home is to completely eliminate them; this can be difficult as these little creatures can hide just about anywhere, from behind the light plate on your wall to under your pillow and mattress, and seal up all cracks and crevices in the home--even the area between the wall and the molding where the floor meets the wall. Sealing up these areas decreases the likelihood of the bed bugs finding a place to lay low until the air clears--literally.

After everything has been sealed and exposed, there are a few methods you can use to get rid of bed bugs but the most practical by far is steam cleaning. Most professional exterminators will use steam cleaners to kill the bugs as they can hardly survive at temperatures above 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat kills the bugs, and after that it is just up to you to clean up the remains and make sure you don't ever have to deal with the bed bug problem ever again.

After the bugs have been killed, the problem is no longer how to kill bed bugs but how to keep them gone. If things are done right, rarely do bed bugs re-surface but it is important to always keep an eye out for them when you are traveling, even if you are staying at the Ritz-Carlton or the Waldorf-Astoria. After all, bed bugs do not discriminate and they have a tendency to travel great distances just to make the lives of human beings a tad bit more trying.

A Guide To Tantric Massage

TANTRIC MASSAGE

I guess the majority of us have heard about Tantric sex and massage. Had anyone asked me what it was exactly I would have giggled shyly and muttered something about gentle touching, feathers, massage and no orgasm. How wrong I was.

Tantric massage is basically just a massage. However it was created from the belief that if you are sexually happy and relaxed then your health will benefit. The Hindus describe Tantra as achieving personal growth through pleasurable existence. The massage itself does tend to cause orgasms, but these are described as a bonus rather than the aim.

Although Tantric massage does not involve actual penetrative sex, it does involve full on touching of the organs. For this reason you will not find it offered down your local health centre. You are far more likely to find it on offer in the many massage parlours in London and other major cities.

If you want to have a go with her or him indoors here is a pretty basic guide to Tantric massage.

Firstly, from this point on, your manhood is referred to as Lingam (wand of light - don't be thinking light sabre it's not that big!) and the lady's bits are called Yoni (sacred space or sacred temple). Let's face it those words sound much nicer than the alternatives.

If you are visiting somewhere for your massage you need to decide in advance whether you will be getting naked or not. Proper Tantric masseuse prefer you to be naked, they believe this helps the healing process all over your body. If you are shy you can choose to keep some clothes on, I am guessing you will want to cover your Lingam or your Yoni. If you are at home with the missus or the husband, get your kit off and turn the heating up.

Choose some gentle music (whale music is optional). Now banish all thoughts of kneading your lover all over until she or he begs for mercy. It's not that kind of massage. Make your lover lie on his or her back, legs apart and a cushion under the hips to raise up the Yoni/Lingam area and a cushion under the head so they can look at their genitals. Explain that although there will not be any penetrative sex this evening you will take them to previously unknown heights of sexual satisfaction. It may help to convince them if you do not print off this article and place it next to them on the bed. Choose your lubricant wisely; chocolate body sauce has no place here.

The massage itself involves every part of the body, although I guess the Yoni/Lingam area will receive more than its fair share of attention. The massaging of the body is to help prepare the receiver for the attention you will be paying their genitals.

Yoni Massage

Pour a small amount of oil on to the mound of the Yoni, just enough so it drips down the outer lips. Massage each outer lip slowly between thumb and forefinger, sliding up and down the entire length of the lip. Only ask your lover if the pressure is too much or not enough. Try to look into their eyes during the massage and ensure she can see what you are doing. Do the same for the inner lips of the Yoni. Take your time and watch your lover relax.

The jewel in the crown is the clitoris. Four times more sensitive that your Lingam so take it easy here. Begin by gently stroking it in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction and squeeze it gently between your thumb and index finger. The missus will be well and truly fired up by now but try not to allow an orgasm just yet, let the sensations build. If it becomes too much, just back off a bit and encourage her to breathe deeply. Now insert the middle finger of your right hand (I can't remember why it has to be the right one but I shouldn't think it would cause too much trouble if you need to use your left instead.) and gently feel around inside continuing to massage gently.

With your palm facing upwards and your middle finger buried in the Yoni, bend your finger back towards the palm and you should feel a spongy area just under the pubic bone. This is known as the G-spot ("that's where it is!" I hear you yell). Gently massage here, in circles, back and forth, side to side. Your lover may feel the need to pee but hopefully she should feel pleasure building slowly. At this point you may wish to insert the finger between your middle finger and your little finger. Whilst a few of your digits are employed inside, you may as well use your thumb to continue circling the clitoris. Another option is to leave your middle finger inside, continue stimulating the clitoris with your thumb and insert your little finger up her anus. I would suggest you perhaps test the waters first as anal penetration when you are not expecting it would definitely ruin the mood. Whilst all this is going on, your left hand may feel a little underused. Use it instead to continue stroking and massaging other parts of her body (her body parts not yours!). Your lover will more than likely experience a very intense orgasm and afterward will feel completely relaxed. She will generally drift off to sleep and leave you in a state of arousal with no prospect of a Lingam massage for you tonight!

Lingam Massage

Traditionally the giver, some men may find it difficult to lay back and think of England whilst his lover goes to work on his wand of light. However, I do suggest you give it a go bearing in mind the fantastic massage you gave her Yoni last night.

Get your man to lay back on the bed with a pillow under his head to enable him to see what you are doing. Put a pillow under his hips and spread his legs with his knees bent. His Lingam must be completely exposed. Begin as before by gently massaging all over his body, avoiding this area for a while. This allows him to become completely relaxed and prepared for the touching of the Lingam. Pour a small amount of oil over his shaft and testicles and begin gently massaging his testicles. Next massage the area on the pubic bone above the Lingam. Massage the area between his testicles and his anus (perineum). Moving on to the Lingam, gently grasp the base with your right hand and move up the shaft and then remove your hand, repeat with the left hand. Do this for some time, then change to grasping the Lingam at the top, slide down the shaft and remove your hand, replace with the left and repeat this process. The head of the Lingam is very sensitive and deserves special attention. Massage it in a circular motion. Don't worry if the Lingam goes soft, it will shortly perk up again. Likewise if your partner seems to be on the brink of orgasm, back off and encourage deep breathing.

Keep bringing him close to orgasm and then back off. This is not a method of torture, it helps them to control their ejaculation and therefore achieve longer and more pleasurable orgasms. Whilst continuing to massage his Lingam, you can search for his sacred spot. This is located between his testicles and his anus. It is a small indentation about the size of a pea. If you massage here and gently increase the pressure he may well feel uncomfortable at first. Applying pressure here will help him gain control of his orgasms in future. If he is nearing ejaculation you can apply pressure here and this will increase the intensity of his orgasm.

The end of the massage is signalled by either ejaculation or snoring. If he is snoring you still have some practising to do. If he has ejaculated, you have some clearing up to do.

I am still very much a beginner however I was pleased to discover that Tantric massage is not a mysterious sexual cult and is certainly not difficult to do. Anyone with an hour to spare and a bottle of strawberry flavoured body oil can do it.

What Type of Mattress is Best For a 3 Year Old?

3-year old kids can virtually fall asleep on any surface. However, this should not mean that you will just let them sleep just about anywhere. Their comfort is still of utmost importance if you do not want them to wake up feeling cranky. The expression "waking up on the wrong side of the bed" literally applies to them.

So anyway, what exactly is the best one? There are so many options today including air mattress, innerspring mattress, memory foam mattress and latex mattress. Many parents purchase air mattresses especially those with cartoon character prints.

This is a practical choice as kids tend to outgrow their beds in no time. This is a good option for you but make sure it is also comfortable. Check some reviews and find the ones that have been labelled comfortable by consumers. Make sure the materials are also non-allergenic. PVC materials are often used for inflatable beds but these can trigger allergic reactions.

What is great about inflatable beds is that they are water proof. If you child wets on the bed, you can easily clean it. This is difficult to do with other mattresses.

Innerspring mattresses are not goof for playful kids as they tend to jump on this soft mattress. This will lead to mattress depression which will then lead to back pains. If you want to choose this bed, make sure it has less springs integrated. With more springs, the thinner springs are integrated. Less springs mean thicker springs are used which will give the mattress a desired level of firmness. A firm surface is also ideal for children as they need back support.

Memory foam is ideal for back pain. However, this may not be a good choice for kids as they are loaded with all sorts of chemical. The chemical content of this mattress may trigger allergic reactions.

The last choice, but definitely not the least is latex. This has been coined as the best mattress for kids because of its lack of chemical content. The mattress is naturally hypoallergenic. Also, the density of the mattress is just right for kids. It is not too firm and not too soft so kids can have the most relaxing sleep.

I would have to say latex mattress is a worthy investment. It has a long life so you can use it for your next children or sell it when your child outgrows the mattress. You can also purchase an adult size already and this will be your kid's mattress for many years to come.

What Is the Most Effective Bed Bug Treatment?

There is no easy answer for this question, so what is the simplest bed bug treatment? Bed bug treatments depend on how severe the infestation is, the more severe the harder it is going to be eradicating them from your household. Many treatments and precautions can be put into place to try to control them and then totally eliminate them. The fact of the matter is though you need to be taking immediate action so they don't get worse and take over.

The first thing you should do if you think you have bed mites is to find where it is they have infested, typically bed mites will not leave marks behind like that of mosquitoes. The following methods can be put in place to make sure that you are dealing with bed mites. Look around your bedding and mattress for distinctive reddish brown spots and markings left by the bedbugs, these are fecal matter left behind by them. Also look for skin and eggs left behind in the molting process which would be found in crevices and corners. Bed mites can be light in color or they can be red in color depending on if they have been feeding.

Once you determine that you likely have a bed bug infestation you can start putting a treatment plan together to eradicate them. One of first things you should do is search around your residence for the signs of bird or bat nests which can host bed bugs and could result in how they got into your household.

You should then clean your house and remove any clutter so that you are limiting the places where bed bugs can hide and lurk. Laundering of garments, bedding and any fabrics is a must when dealing with bed mites, you should also dry them longer to be safe. It is also suggested that you steam clean anything such as carpets, rugs and furniture.

Any infested items that cannot be washed or clean in the ways suggested should be sealed away or discarded. Afterwards you should vacuum, wash flooring and seal up any crevices or cracks around the floor area. This should give you a good plan at starting to eradicate bed bugs from within your household.
