Bed bug infestation is not triggered by poor sanitation. No matter how clean or dirty a place is, the pest could have it invaded just as long as it offers them access to their meal sources. So basically, even a five-star hotel can house the bed bugs.

Nonetheless, implementation of preventive measures is not an assurance of a completely bed-bug-free home environment. The said pests are small and are quick to move. And so, they can sneak their way into different places by hitchhiking on clothes and luggage.

For that reason, MyCleaningProducts deemed it is best for everyone to always have a bed bug spray ready. It explained that with a bed bug product within reach, one could implement a prompt bed bug treatment. And given the said pests are also quick to populate, the site stated an immediate treatment prevents an all-out bed bug infestation that could cause several problems to a person's well-being and finances.

Particularly, MCP said a bed bug infestation could cause social embsrassment in a way that the pests' bites could leave nasty marks that could give a person insecurities. The medical treatment the bites may require and the replacement of furniture pieces infested by bed bugs could also add more to one's expenses, it added. And so, it considered bed bug spray an essential element of indoor maintenance for houses, offices and even business establishments.

However, among the bed bug products available today, MyCleaningProducts said that those made with natural ingredients are the ones everybody should get. But of all the non-toxic bed bug sprays, MCP believes that its Bed Bug Bully is the best. Hence, it highly recommends the use of it to all bed bug sufferers.

Discover the Edge of Bed Bug Bully Over Other Bed Bug Killers

Made with natural ingredients, the said product offers safety and effectiveness as Bed Bug Bully reviews say. Additionally, it also offers savings as MCP just decided to offer it with 10% discount. So compared with other bed bug killers, it offers more benefits.

New York Bed Bugs Extermination Online Guide Published by NYC Entrepreneur

Posted on September 24, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

(PRWEB) September 23, 2012

New York bed bugs can be eliminated by following the strategies, tips, and ideas published in a special online guide for New York City. Bed bugs are ant like bugs that operate like ninja warriors at night, creating panic upon the inhabitants of the dwellings that they invade. Once a bed bug colony establishes itself in a room, it can seem like a very daunting task to eliminate them.

Donny Lowy, a an entrepreneur who runs CloseoutExplosion.com, a closeout wholesale business in New York, has published a collection of articles online to help residents, property managers, and exterminators gain the upper hand against the bed bug onslaught that is facing Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. While bed bugs were almost once eliminated, due to the main pesticide, DDT, being prohibited for use, they have made a striking come back in many metropolitan and urban locations. The main challenge with bed bugs is that if any of them remain after an extermination, they can quickly reproduce and create a new round of havoc.

The free online bed bug guide that has been published covers important techniques and tips that deal with New York bed bugs, such as:

Understanding Why Bed Sprays Might Not Stop A New York Bed Bug Infestation. Are There Bed Bugs In New York Hotels? Why You Need To Know What The Real Symptoms Of Bed Bugs Are Can You Kill Bed Bugs In New York Without An Exterminator? Knowing How To Spot Bed Bugs In New York Apartments What You Should Never Bring Into Your Home If You Want To Avoid A Bed Bug Invasion The Fastest Way To Wipe Out A Bed Bug Infestation How To Find And Destroy Bed Bug Eggs What You Should Never Do If You Discover Bed Bugs In NYC, or Anywhere Else The Favorite Hiding Places For Bed Bugs In New York

New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn understood the challenges faced by the bed bug resurgence, as reports surfaced of sightings in high end hotels like the Waldorf Astoria, the Nike flagship store in Soho, and even at a Times Square movie theater. Luckily, no bed bugs have been reported in the New York Apple retail store, which is frequented by countless international shoppers.

The challenge with dealing with bed bugs is that they are easily transported in luggage, on people's clothing, and in clothing shipments. To eradicate bed bugs you need to first exterminate any that are present, and then use products such as Diatomaceous Earth (diatomite), which is a powder made from fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by single celled plants that are known as Diatoms. You can use bed bug catchers, but if you do end up catching a bug, I would recommend that you use the services of a licensed New York exterminator, said Donny Lowy.

He continued, Bed bugs have developed resistance to many of the chemicals being used against them, so another option is to use a heating treatment known as thermal remediation, which should definitely be done by a professional exterminator. Remember, if you live in a New York apartment building, the entire building should be treated, otherwise the bed bugs will only scatter to another apartment and then return later on.

The purpose of the New York bed bug website is to provide general information, and direction, for those who are moving to, or currently living in New York, and want to win the battle against bed bugs.

Lastly, if you suspect you might be living with bed bugs, the last thing you ever want to do is panic. Do not resort to any drastic or unsafe solutions. There are plenty of remedies sold on Amazon, and even non toxic bed bug treatments available online.

Good Shepherd Square blessed from above

Posted on September 15, 2012 by toronto Click Here For Article

By Kevin Werner, News Staff

Its an oasis for seniors, a secure environment for women have domestic troubles, and security for children in need of help.

This has solved my housing problems, so Im able to shine, Cass Henry, 32, told the assembled politicians, religious officials, and city staff as they gathered under cloudy skies Sept 14 to open the Good Shepherd Square on King Street.

Along with her daughter, Kayla, 8, who has moved 15 times in her short life, Henry has battled bed bugs, oppressive landlords, and moldy apartments, in her search for a proper place to live. Kayla, says Henry, calls her new home forever home.

Its the perfect location, said Henry, who moved in July 1. It is life-changing. Now we are filled up with hope and promise.

The $15.5 million, 156-unit project, located between Pearl and Ray streets, contains a compact courtyard with benches, trees, and grass, with an elegant archway from theKing Streetentrance. It is surrounded by the 84-unit Bishop Tonnos Seniors Apartments, the 72-unit Nora Vos Apartments, the Wentges Family Centre for Women and Children, the 20-bed womens emergency shelter Marys Place, and the 40-unit Martha House.

This is a wonderful place to build something better for the community, said Brother Richard MacPhee, executive director of Good Shepherd.

The project had been 10 years in the making, that spanned four mayors and two bishops, said Mayor Bob Bratina.

A lot of things had to happen, said Bratina, noting the project had originally been targeted for the King and Wellington. Its absolutely brilliant how it came about.

Yes we have poverty, yes we have needs. But we are addressing them, he said.

The difference a renovation can make

Posted on September 15, 2012 by vancouver Click Here For Article

The space is about the size of a large storage locker, located at the end of a hallway with dirty, scuff-marked walls, and part of the entry door is boarded up.

But to Wayne Gaskin, it is a room of his own and he is happy to have it.

Gaskin, 45, is a resident of the Hazelwood, a 100-year-old building on East Hastings used by BC Housing as subsidized single-room accommodation for low-income clients. It is one of 13 such buildings scheduled to be renovated in the coming months at a cost of $116 million - $87 million of which will come from the province and $29 million from the federal government.

Inside, the hallways are well lit by the bare fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling and the space is well ventilated, although a mildly acidic smell can be detected in places. Several wooden door frames on one floor are damaged, particularly around the knobs, and a few doors are boarded up with plywood.

The age of the building is one factor that makes repairs there challenging and expensive, said Elizabeth Hardy, program manager at the Hazelwood, which is run by Atira Property Management. There are 110 units in the building, and the aging pipes were not designed to deal with that kind of volume, Hardy explained.

Backed-up toilets or showers cause flooding about once a month, and maintenance teams have to break down asbestos-containing walls in order to get at the pipes, which is both time-consuming and costly.

There is also damage inflicted by the tenants themselves, some of whom don't have the ability to keep a room in working order due to mental health challenges, Hardy said. In one recently vacated room that measured about 10 feet by 12 feet and contained a closet and a sink, the grey tile floors were covered with paint and old chewing gum, the baseboard heater had been pulled out of the wall, and wires dangled from where light fixtures had once been.

Pest control reports obtained by The Vancouver Sun also indicate that insects have been a persistent problem at the Hazelwood. A report dated Aug. 30, 2012 indicated that 31 of the 110 units contained live bed bugs. Several of the affected units had been identified by contractor Bugs Be Gone as being infested as far back as May 2011.

Hardy described pest control as an "ongoing challenge" experienced by operators of all single-room occupancy hotels in Vancouver. There are times when pest control companies are refused entry to the rooms by tenants or can't enter because the rooms are too cluttered, she said.

Even with all its problems, Gaskin said he much prefers the Hazelwood to his previous accommodation in homeless shelters. Small as the room is, it is his own space, with a television and a door that locks, he said.
