Best Way To Control Pests – Time to #BugOut

Posted: 25 Oct 2013 09:00 PM PDT

This post brought to you by The Orkin Ecologist. All opinions are 100% mine.

You do almost everything to keep your family and loved ones safe and protected. In some cases, they could be harmed by the smallest bugs or pests that normally go undetected in your home. Everyone knows that pests in your home can be troublesome and embarrassing. Not only that, pests can cause damage to your home and danger to your health. Your home and family’s safety is very important.

Ants, bed bugs, spiders as well as other pests may harm or damage your loved ones and cause health problems. Professional pest control services will help you maintain a pest-free environment.

There are many scariest looking and deadliest bugs from around the world. In my opinion, the scariest and deadliest bugs are bees, bullet ants, army ants, black widow spiders, and giant Japanese hornets.

Some people fear insects, bugs – creepy, crawly creatures, but at Orkin, they study them. They’ve been studying bugs for 100 years and even have scientists on their staff to make sure they continue to keep science at the forefront of their work. Orkin Ecologist is a great educational resource site for both novice and experienced science lovers.

Speaking of insects, bugs or creepy creatures, many of these people develops phobias. When this top 10 bug phobias develops, individuals who fears bugs may take extreme measure avoid any creepy-crawly creatures.

Magnitude 7.2 Earthquake Hits The Philippines | 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks The Philippines

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 07:38 PM PDT

An earthquake with magnitude 7.2 occurred near Tagbilaran, Bohol, Philippines and other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao. Let us pray for all people in Bohol especially my kababayans and other parts of Visayas and Mindanao who has been affected by the earthquake. Church and roads impacted by large 7.2 magnitude earthquake.

After: Expect aftershocks. These secondary shockwaves are usually less violent than the main quake but can be strong enough to do additional damage to weakened structures and can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. Look for and extinguish small fires. Fire is the most common hazard after an earthquake.
Be aware of possible tsunamis if you live in coastal areas. These are also known as seismic sea waves (mistakenly called "tidal waves"). When local authorities issue a tsunami warning, assume that a series of dangerous waves is on the way. Stay away from the beach.

Be careful when driving after an earthquake and anticipate traffic light outages.
