#5 best insect repellent

[mit0bee]

Twisted Wonderland boys with an S/O who's afraid of bugs (me too)

Did I literally just post 5 minutes ago? yes. am i posting again? yes. Stuff you should read: Bulleted HC's because i dont feel like writing an essay like i did with floyds tent hc, no beta we die like men, mention of multiple types of bugs Characters: Leona Kingscholar, Malleus Draconia, Trey Clover, Jamil Viper, Vil Schoenheit, Epel Felmier, Sebek Zigvolt, Floyd Leech

(can be read as platonic but i did write it with a romantic relationship in mind)

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR

Leona literally came running into the room thinking you had died or smthn, but no. you were screaming, standing on his bed....all over a small cockroach.

Bro actually sighed. like, a super big sigh, one that youd only get from a dissapointed mother while he stomped on the bug.

"Seriously, Herbivore? You took care of multiple overblots, but a single cockroach gets you all worked up?"

hes grinning so hard. youd want to punch him with how hard hes grinning.

all hes thinking is about the amount he can tease you about this

but, yes. he does get rid of the bug.

unless he was sleeping. then he forces asks ruggie to do it nicely.

MALLEUS DRACONIA

implodes the bug.

im not kidding.

he literally goes full on oceangate on that bug and implodes it

you didnt even have time to properly freak out before the bug was wiped off the face of the earth

"tsunotarou what was that sound?"

"nothing light of my life" *hiding bug corpse*

"are you sure bc i thought i saw a bug"

"nope. no bugs here? should we buy some bug repellant to ease your mind?"

".....no its okay."

you knew he somehow killed the bug.

and it only made you love him even more than you already do.

TREY CLOVER

catches the bug for you and lets it outside.

unlike the first two, he tries his best not to kill the bug.

he pulls the "how would you feel if i stomp on you and kill you?"

"if you killed me while i was a bug i'd thank you"

"you'd be dead, [name]."

"....id thank you from the grave."

he just sighs and shakes his head

probably convinces riddle to let him put anti-bug measures around heartslaybul for you (it didnt take much convincing riddle hates bugs too)

JAMIL VIPER

screams with you

probably set ramshackle on fire more than once while visiting you

you both have to call kalim or adeuce to come exterminate the single cockroach on the ground

again, that one tik tok sound where its like

"YOU KILL THE BUG, YOURE THE MAN!"

"SINCE WHEN."

thats a daily interaction between the two of you

if it happened at scarabia, he'd stay at ramshackle for the next month

literally would abandon kalim (or if he really cant be trusted he'd just bring kalim with him to make sure he didn't cause any problems)

VIL SCHOENHIET

screams with you x2

isn't as dramatic as jamil, but he definitely freaks out about it too.

about the bugs? no. about the bug bites.

again, youd have to call someone to save the both of you so you dont pass tf out and die while he gets eaten alive by a fruit fly

wym fruit flies dont bite? you cant be too cautious.

somehow always has bug repellant with him in the warm seasons

hes prepared and will NOT get any bug bites

EPEL FELMIER

zero reaction, or has a positive one.

"what in tarnation do you mean you hate bugs?! they help with fertilizer blah blah blah blah blah blah (i dont know farming stuff)!"

you have to CONVINCE him to get rid of the bugs, but he'll eventually cave and do it just for you

if you ask him to put up anti-insect measures he'd look at you like youre crazy

"[name]. bugs are actually really good for our ecosystem. back at home we always had to take care of the bugs, or else our crops would die."

"shut up. please. ily, but i cant deal with these bugs."

"okay okay okay fine"

will reluctantly set them up

overall a 4/10 for bug measures he will do it just not unless you beg

SEBEK ZIGVOLT

yells.

not in fear, but in anger because how DARE such a miniscule thing try to terrify the people he cares about?!

doesnt explode it like malleus

but strikes it with lightning.

yk his dorm card groovy? thats what hes doing to a little centipede.

expects you to praise him for protecting you

sure, its a given that he would, but he would very much so appreciate your thanks, and maybe a head pat or smthn

give him one.

now.

FLOYD LEECH

like trey, he lets the bug free

sometimes.

other times he kills it and chases you with the corpse

or keeps it alive and chases you with the living bug

if you REALLYYYYYYYYYY dont like bugs, like straight up sobbing, freaking out, then he wont but otherwise? have fun bro

someone has to seperate you two when you see a bug, because he will do something

sometimes if he's feeling generous he wont do anything and you'll be like "tf? what did you do to be so nice?"

"cant i just be generous towards my shrimpy?"

"no."

".....yeah i almost grilled grim thinking he was food."

"you WHAT."

all of this because of a simple bug

oh to be young and in love ----------------------- m.list @mit0ee 's work, please do not steal!

SR Vil Schoenheit Outdoor Wear Voice Lines

Summon Line: I won't allow us to fall behind the other clubs. Not only will I show off my glamourous side, but my wild side as well.

Groooovy!!: I understand how you feel, but you cannot just keep taking pictures of only me, now can you?

Home: This is my camping activewear.

Home Idle 1: These sunglasses are to protect my eyes from ultra-violet light. Fashion shouldn't exactly be the primary concern here, but of course, I had to also consider its design when choosing it.

Home Idle 2: I have my makeup, skincare goods, and hair care products with me... I'm glad I was able to bring everything. I cannot be negligent even for a single day.

Home Idle 3: In the past, I've traveled with my father on location in the savannah. It was quite fun and much like camping, especially when we barbequed together.

Home Idle - Login: There's no use being concerned about your clothes getting dirty while camping. What's more important is your sense of etiquette towards the others.

Home Idle - Groovy: I'm sure doing yoga out here in nature will be even more refreshing than usual. I'll be doing it down by the lake shore when I have a bit of time… Would you like to join me?

Home Tap 1: Even with your position as record keeper, make sure to respect everyone's privacy. Do make sure to not be like one of those rude reporters.

Home Tap 2: Kalim was delighted, saying, "I can do the cooking and prepping all by myself!" His optimism is well and good, but I can't help but wonder how the others around him feel.

Home Tap 3: It seems Lilia finds this camping experience to be too relaxing. Apparently this won' be intense enough for any kind of training unless we're pushed to our limits.

Home Tap 4: I've told the set designers of my club to inspect the rocks and trees closely. It's vital to know and understand the real things in order to create accurate background sets.

Home Tap 5: There are mosquitos flying around nearby? It would be terrible if one were to bite me somewhere on my face and leave a mark. I'll have to apply more insect repellent...

Home Tap - Groovy: If I were to create a movie in this location, with the people we have here, I wonder what kind of production would be best. Do you have any thoughts to share?

Let me show you... Youtube - chapter 5

I did an extra long chapter today, sine I was not able to do one long yesterday. And I got a little carried away...

Warning : no proof reading.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Victoria was -yet again- in her corridor, using some newspaper as a rag to clean the window to copy the tutorial she saw on Youtube. She should tell Yuu about this trick, it isn’t a bad one when you don’t have a clean rag… [I miss my earphones… I could blast music and continue this work without being so bored. Tonight I will buy one at Mister S mystery shop].

While she wondered about how to make the cleaning more exciting, she didn’t feel it but she was observed by 2 men. One was wearing a black and white fur coat while the other was wearing a bright red track suit, enhancing his muscles. Crewel and Vargas were very intrigued by that woman. There weren’t a lot of women in NRC, so having a woman janitor was… Odd to say the least.

Crewel spoke first. “She shouldn’t be doing chores without at least gloves… That damned bird.”

Vargas laughed. “Well she doesn’t mind a bit of elbow grease and doing chores from what we can see.”

Under their gazes, Victoria was in a deep brawl with the curtains. “Get… Off.. Me !!! You miscreant !!! You’re lucky you’re already hanged !”

Both men laughed at the lady before going back to their respective room. She was very amusing to watch, too focused on her tasks to mind all the stares from students going out of their classes.

Victoria won against the curtain. She was full of dust but she did it !!! She dusted the old wall hanging, freeing it from moths and spiders.

“It would be complete with a spritz with lavender… Where can I find that?” [The hot alchemy teacher should have it in his pantry.]

She asked a student. “Excuse me, could you lead me to the teacher lounge ?”

The student accepted the mission and led her to the said teacher room.

She thanked him and knocked. “Excuse me, I need help with something…”

Trein opened the door. “Well, we meet again Mrs Devi.”

Victoria had a huge smile while Lucius mewed. “Professor Trein ! Lucius ! I am happy to see you again ! I am in a pinch… I would like to have some lavender extract.”

Trein mused a few seconds before answering “I think the best person to help you would be Professor Crewel.”

He called out. “Professor Crewel ?”

The said professor turned his head “Yes ?”

Trein asked. “Mrs Devi needs an ingredient. Help her find it.”

Crewel sighed at the order and mumbled. “Mrs Devi ? The janitor ?”

Victoria fluttered her eyes [Too BEAUTIFUL. Are they all hot in here or what ? Was it a selection criteria for this school ? I mean… The FACE, the BODY, the VOICE, aaaaaah.]

He smiled at her and stopped in front of her. “What can I do for you, Mrs Devi ?”

[They like my name here or what ?] thought Victoria, being called by her family name more in a day than in her teaching career. It was usually either ‘Mrs’ or ‘professor’.

She smiled at the new beautiful man in front of her. “Hi, I would like some lavender extract or oil for an anti moth spray.”

Crewel blinked. “An anti… Moth spray ? Did I hear you correctly ?”

Victoria was dumbfounded “Did you not see all the moths there are in the curtains ?? I mean, there are literal HOLES in it. Lavender is good for repelling moths and various insects. It won’t replace a good wash but I make do with what I can…”

Crewel laughed gently. “Ok, I understand, let’s go to the lab.”

And they set off.

Once in the alchemy lab, Victoria touched everything she could with her eyes. The big cauldrons, the test tubes, the heat… Everything was new and so cool in her eyes.

“So cool…” Said Victoria, without thinking.

Crewel shrugged and searched in his pantry “Isn’t it ? Do you have alchemy where you are from ?”

Victoria answered a simple “No, my world is pretty boring… We just have chemistry and physico-chemistry.”

Crewel frowned “So you do everything without magic ?”

Victoria bent to look at a cauldron inside a cheminee “Yeah, we do with what we can.. We still have cars and planes, of course.”

Crewel smiled “That’s quite impressive. How did you learn about the properties of lavender ?”

Victoria answered without thinking. “Insomnia in front of YouTube.”

Crewel looked at her in the eyes, wondering. “YouTube ? Like WeTube ?”

At this moment, inside Victoria’s head was the communist Bugs Bunny meme  with the communist anthem.

“May… be ?” She answered unsure.

Once they concocted the spray -bottle on loan from Crewel- she went off to her curtains.

She was spritzing the concoction when she heard a loud noise. 

She sighed. [The chandelier met his doomed fate… R.I.P. chandelier, you were beautiful in your prime. Tonight will be without Yuu then.]

She finished her work for the day, deciding to continue her hunt for moths the day after. She will win.

She went to Sam’s shop with a spring in her steps. Time to meet another hot guy !

When she was inside of the shop, she was mesmerized. [How could there be so many things ? It is bigger inside like a TARDIS !!]

She was stopped in her thoughts by a musical voice. “Hello Mrs Devi, what can I do for you ?”

Victoria feigned a surprise “Oh my you already know my name ? Did my reputation precede me ? And who might you be ?”

Sam snickered  “Well my name is Sam, the owner of this shop ! And my dear imp, it is my friend on the other side that told me everything. From your arrival to your fight with the curtains.”

Victoria knew, but shivered nonetheless. “I don’t want to be on your ‘friends’ bad side… I fear I might disappear.”

Sam just smiled “Well, we will never know, right ? What can I do for you ? Do you want an amulet for protection ? A lovely cursed lamp ? Some snacks ?”

[Wow, that’s a wild ride…]

She answered with her grocery list. Hand soap, tuna, dish soap, pasta, rice, first aid kit,... Even ordering a washing machine for the dorm.

“How will you pay ?” Asked Sam, after packing everything with the washing machine voucher.

Victoria took out her credit card “With this ? I think we can activate her by buying something from a shop ?”

Sam’s eyes widened “Wow, a gold PyrEx ? You are quite loaded for a janitor.”

She read the name of the bank ‘Pyroxene Express Bank’.

So pyrex wasn’t the name of a chemical material but also the name of an AmEx type of card ? Damn, chance makes good. 

She put her card in the monitor and typed the pin number, hoping that it would pass. Her prayer was heard and she was happy when she saw the “payment accepted” on the machine.

She took her stuff and went back to the dorm. She was cleaning the copper pots and pans with ketchup when Yuu and Grim came back, dejected.

“What is happening, Sweetie ?” asked Victoria, having a rough idea of the problem.

Yuu cried “We need to search for a new stone mage or else we will be expelled from school. All because of Grim and this Ace guy.”

 Victoria knew and yet was angry. She never liked Ace in the game, he was too cocky for her taste. #sorrynotsorrytho.

She let the pans and pots rest in water to join Yuu. “Honey, that’s terrible… How are you going to do that ?”

Grim answered. “We need to go to this old mine to find the stone. It is going to be a great proof of my talent and my hench-human will work under my supervision !”

Victoria sighed. “You know Grim, a great leader would work with their underlings. Not letting them do all the work.”

Grim short circuited at the sentence. “Whaaaat ??”

Victoria squeezed the Child’s hand. “It will be hard but I have every faith in you. Think of it like a quest. Think calmly about the problem, everything will be alright. You just need to trust your gust, both of you.”

Yuu nodded. Grim was still under the shock of Victoria’s revelation.

Yuu asked. “Why are you cleaning the pots and pans with ketchup ?”

Victoria answered with a simple. “YouTube.”

After Yuu had calmed down, Victoria winged some pastas so they wouldn’t go on their quest with an empty stomach.

Victoria sent them off, promising she will wait for them before going to sleep.

While they were away, Victoria checked the mail and her phone. She had a text from Disney. “As promised, you will find your medical treatment in the mail and will be sent to you each month.

Kind regards,

Disney.”

At least she wouldn’t have to worry about that…

She found the parcel in the mail and when she opened it, there were her meds. There also was a letter addressed to her from the Pyroxene Express Bank. She opened it and found her bank ID to consult her bank account.

She sat on the couch and looked it up.

“Credit account : 3 521 madols.

Saving account : 433 900 madols.

Being transferred : 50 000 madols.”

So. It meant multiple things : 

1 madol = 1 euro,

her mortgage was refund,

she still was loaded from the sale of her patent.

companies were still purchasing the right to use the said patent.

She was rejoiced. At least they wouldn’t have to worry about money. She would take care of the three of them. She needed to protect them like she could, after all, they will save the school multiple times from overblot…

Top 11 Tips for a Stress-Free House Relocation to Your New Mumbai Home

Shifting to a new house is a big leap in one's life and calls for celebration. But if you have been worrying about what you require to do before making a move to a new house, we have you all covered! Before turning the key in the door, here are some tasks you have to do to make your home ready to live.

Tips for Moving Stress-free:

Do you begin with packing or getting your new home ready? We often come across clients who are unsure of what they need to do before moving into a new house. We have prepared a to-do list to help you move into a new home and settle in no time. Let’s take a read!

Essential Steps Before Moving to Your New Home in Mumbai:

1. Clean your new house

Cutting to the chase, a fresh start by thoroughly cleaning the property that you are about to move can help you pinpoint and tackle issues in the house that may go unnoticed while finalising. This is even more important when moving to a house that’s already been lived-in. You can start with the ceilings followed by the windows. Disinfect and scrub every surface of the bathroom thoroughly. Target the kitchen and make sure every nook and corner is spotless. Later sweep or use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt and mop the entire house with a hygienic floor cleaner to get spick-and-span floors.

2. Prioritize repairs & maintenance

To avoid repairs and maintenance coming out of your pocket, make a list of things you want to get checked and if anything needs fixing, request the seller or landlord take care of costs before finalising your house relocation to Mumbai. Here’s all that you can check:

Check electrical wiring in the house and ensure all the sockets are working fine.

Check for leaking taps and pipes

Replace faucets if required Also, check for appliances.

3. Ensure the meters are not mal-functioned

The best way to move into a new house without any regrets is to detect any faulty electrical connections or plumbing issues by checking the readings of the electricity and water meters. Take a note of meter readings when you reach your new home, continue with other work around the house without using electricity or water. After about three-four hours, the readings should be the same. If not, there is a fault, and you need to identify and fix the meters, leaks, or defective electrical outlets.

4. Get utilities ready to lead an everyday life

A day without access to Facebook, Instagram, coffee, or the daily news is difficult to imagine. Call up all utility providers and inform them well in advance about the specific date on which you want the services to begin. Some of the utilities include

Electricity board;

Water supply;

Gas connection;

Internet service provider;

Milk and newspaper vendors;

TV-Cable providers

5. Change the locks

This may be an option to change the locks of your new home as it guarantees you additional safety from any prospective thefts. Also, check your window latches and get them repaired if required. It’s a good idea to keep a spare key somewhere safe and out of sight.

6. Get rid of creepy-crawlies

Bugs and pests are like uninvited guests! Before you move into your new house, you must scour through the entire house for the insects and get rid of them entirely. For this, you can carry plenty of bug repellents or contact a pest control team to do the job properly and thoroughly.

Pro-Tip: A lot of our clients complain of termites infestations in wood work. Be sure to check for mites before you move in!

7. Plan the layout of all your rooms

Plan and decide where and how you want to set the furniture and other decorations. This will save you much time after moving in because you already know where everything must go. Also, packers and movers will settle your new home in no time if you will share your layout plan with them well in advance. Ensure you take proper measurements of the rooms and furniture to plan where to place everything. Share this plan with your house relocation service for an even smoother relocation experience.

Pro-Tip: Consider your and your family’s lifestyle when sketching out a layout for all the rooms.

8. Think about the home-decor

Transform your home with minor changes and updates. Consider replacing old fixtures so that your walls, ceilings and kitchen cabinets have a fresher look. You could also consider changing the wall colours before moving in and adjusting your new home’s colours and hues as per your choice. Add curtains and drapes for your windows to curb the appeal of your house and make it look more sophisticated and comfortable.

9. Update your address

Inform about the change of address, wherever required, at least two weeks before your move and don’t forget to share the same with your bank or credit card company, insurance, medical offices and anyone else who needs to know.

10. Know your neighbors

Add a pinch of a good old hello to your move! Get in a conversation with your neighbors to feel more relaxed and comfortable while moving to a new house. A cordial relationship with your new neighbors will help you have peace of mind and feel safe in many situations. Also, it’s a great way to make your kids and pets feel at home as soon as you move in.

11. Get help from professionals

Last but not least, to avoid hiccups like delays and damages, it’s always best to look for professional  house relocation service in Mumbai  rather than doing it on your own. Imagine packing household articles stacked in your cupboards and carrying all that and moving. It sounds tedious! Relocating to a new city or even within the same city can be overwhelming. Don’t overlook the reviews, and be sure to do your homework and choose a licensed, insured and trustworthy mover.

What Makes Ultima Search The Top Choice For Mosquito Repellent?

To get bitten by a mosquito, you need not necessarily step out of your home. These flying pests can do their work inside your home too. Tiny in size, mosquitoes can easily enter your house, and hide behind the curtains, tables, or under the stairs. So, it would help if you had a good mosquito repellent machine to control the mosquito menace at home.

With so many options available in the market, it is often difficult to pick the best mosquito repellent machine. You have these mosquito killers in all types, including, coils, liquid vaporizers, incense sticks, sprays, roll-ons, and patches. All these products claim to be the best mosquito-killer machines.

In this post, we aim to enlighten you with some key advantages of using a natural or quality mosquito repellent.

Why Use a Mosquito Repellent?

Before we answer what are the various advantages of using a good mosquito repellent, we want you to understand the reasons why one such product is required.

People across the globe use mosquito repellents for the following reasons:

Mosquito Protection: Mosquito repellents are used to protect against mosquito-borne diseases.

Enhances Productivity: Using mosquito repellent means there are fewer chances of falling sick and hampering your productivity at work or at home.

Save Money: Money spent on a good mosquito repellent means money saved on medical treatments.

Quality Family Time: With good mosquito repellent at home, your family will fall less sick and you will be able to spend quality time with them.

5 Noteworthy Advantages of Using A Mosquito Repellent by Ultima Search

We already discussed why people use mosquito repellents, so it is now time to throw light on the various advantages of mosquito repellent manufactured and sold by Ultima Search, the best pest control management firm in town.

Instant Mosquito Protection: The best benefit of mosquito repellents is that they offer instant protection. They are not just effective in keeping the mosquitoes away but also keep flies, and other insects away providing you an immediate solution to the problem of pests.

Prevents Mosquito-Borne Diseases: The second benefit of using a good quality mosquito repellent is that it repels mosquitoes of all types. This, in turn, helps in minimizing the chances of contracting mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and chikungunya.

No or Less Chemical Release: Another major benefit of using a natural mosquito repellent is that it hardly releases any chemicals. Even if it does use some chemicals, the emission is very low and not as harmful to the body.

Not Harmful for the Skin: A good quality mosquito repellent will be skin-friendly. It won’t cause any harmful allergies to your skin. They are made of 100% organic ingredients that safely repel mosquitoes.

Safe for Children and Pets: A mosquito repellent machine that uses less quantity of DEET chemicals is considered safe for your children and pets. So, another mosquito repellent benefit is that it is manufactured keeping in mind the safety of children and pets and for this, it has less harmful chemicals or no chemicals at all.

Pro tip: It’s advantageous to familiarize yourself with lesser-known mosquito facts to effectively minimize your chances of getting bitten.

Why Ultima Search’s line of Mosquito Repellents are the best in the market?

Many other products have hit the market since then, but few compare to Ultima Search’s Moschoo and Moskmaar. But you surely don’t know these two mosquito repellent products are recommended by most of the local retailers, distributors, and customers in Mumbai for preventing mosquito-borne diseases.

We are the pest controllers of choice in cities like Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka for millions of happy and contented customers and our service portfolio is backed up with a pest control product range that is innovative, advanced and available pan India. Household pests such as rats of all kinds, cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes, bedbugs, flies and others have no chance against this product range and a professionally conducted service by Ultima Search.

Catnip for Pest Control

Catnip Repellent

This member of the mint family packs a highly repellent smell. It is best known for attracting cats, but the ingredients of nepetalactone are also known for safely repelling mice, mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, and a myriad of other insects. A study done at Iowa State University on the ingredient in catnip, nepetalactone, shows that catnip repels mosquitoes 10 times more effectively than DEET. You can yield great results in concertation for as little as 1 percent. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on the species of mosquito and other environmental factors.

Catnip for Pest Control

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) does indeed possess insect-repelling properties, particularly against certain insects like mosquitoes. The active compound responsible for this effect is nepetalactone, which is also what attracts cats to catni

Here are eight common insects that catnip can help repel, along with methods for using catnip to deter them:

1. Mosquitoes: Catnip contains nepetalactone, which mosquitoes find repulsive. To repel mosquitoes, you can crush fresh catnip leaves and rub them on exposed skin. Alternatively, you can make a catnip-infused oil or spray by steeping dried catnip in a carrier oil (like coconut or olive oil) or alcohol, then applying it to your skin. 2. Flies: Catnip can deter flies, including houseflies and stable flies. Place dried catnip leaves or sachets of dried catnip near doors, windows, or outdoor sitting areas to help keep flies away. 3. Ants: Catnip contains compounds that ants dislike. Sprinkle dried catnip around entry points where ants may be entering your home, such as windowsills or doorways. This can help discourage them from crossing into your living spaces. 4. Cockroaches: The strong scent of catnip can repel cockroaches. Create a catnip spray by boiling dried catnip in water, straining it, and then using the cooled liquid to spray areas where cockroaches are a problem, such as around baseboards or in cabinets. 5. Fleas: Catnip is also known for repelling fleas. Place dried catnip leaves in pet bedding or make a catnip sachet to deter fleas from infesting your pets’ favorite spots. 6. Moths: Catnip can help repel clothes moths and pantry moths. Place dried catnip leaves in sachets or small bags and hang them in closets or place them in pantry shelves to protect clothing and food items. 7. Ticks: While catnip may not be as effective against ticks as it is against mosquitoes, some people use catnip as part of a natural tick-repelling strategy. Crush fresh catnip leaves and rub them on clothing or skin before heading into tick-prone areas. 8. Aphids: Catnip can be beneficial in the garden to deter aphids. Plant catnip near susceptible plants or use dried catnip as a natural insect deterrent by sprinkling it around affected plants. When using catnip for insect control, keep in mind that its effectiveness may vary depending on the species of insect and environmental factors. Experiment with different methods to see what works best for your specific insect control needs. Additionally, while catnip is generally considered safe, it’s always a good idea to test a small amount on your skin first to check for any allergic reactions before widespread use. Keep in mind that while catnip may help repel insects, its effectiveness might not be as reliable or consistent as commercial insect repellents. If you’re interested in using catnip for this purpose, you might consider experimenting with different applications and concentrations to see what works best for your needs. Read the full article

Defending Your Canine Companion: The Importance of Tick Shampoo for Dogs

Introduction:

As cherished members of our families, our furry companions deserve the best care and protection against potential threats to their health and well-being. Ticks, tiny parasites that can transmit diseases to our dogs, are a significant concern for pet owners. However, with the availability of tick shampoo specifically formulated for dogs, we have a powerful ally in the fight against these pests. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the significance of tick shampoo for dogs, explore its key ingredients, and provide practical tips for ensuring your beloved pet remains tick-free and healthy.

Understanding the Threat of Ticks:

Ticks are small arachnids that feed on the blood of animals, including dogs. These parasites not only cause discomfort and irritation but also pose serious health risks by transmitting diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis. Ticks are commonly found in grassy, wooded areas, making outdoor activities a potential source of exposure for our pets.

The Importance of Tick Shampoo for Dogs:

Tick shampoo plays a crucial role in protecting our canine companions from the harmful effects of ticks. Here's why it's essential:

1. Targeted Protection: Tick shampoo is formulated to effectively kill and repel ticks, providing targeted protection for your dog. By eliminating ticks on contact and preventing reinfestation, tick shampoo helps safeguard your pet from tick-borne diseases.

2. Convenience: Incorporating tick prevention into your dog's grooming routine is convenient and ensures consistent protection against ticks. Regular use of tick shampoo helps reduce the risk of tick infestations, especially during peak tick season.

3. Additional Benefits: In addition to tick protection, many tick shampoos offer supplementary benefits such as cleansing and conditioning the coat. This not only keeps your dog clean and fresh but also promotes overall skin and coat health.

Exploring Key Ingredients in Tick Shampoo:

When choosing a tick shampoo for your dog, it's important to look for key ingredients that effectively combat ticks while being safe for your pet. Here are some common ingredients found in tick shampoo:

1. Pyrethrin: Derived from the chrysanthemum flower, pyrethrin is a natural insecticide known for its ability to kill ticks and other pests on contact.

2. Permethrin: A synthetic version of pyrethrin, permethrin is widely used in tick shampoos for its strong insecticidal properties.

3. Citrus Extracts: Citrus extracts such as limonene and linalool have natural repellent properties that help deter ticks and other insects from attaching to your dog's coat.

4. Essential Oils: Certain essential oils, including cedarwood, eucalyptus, and peppermint oil, are known for their tick-repellent properties and are commonly included in tick shampoo formulations.

5. Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): IGRs such as pyriproxyfen and methoprene disrupt the life cycle of ticks, preventing them from reproducing and infesting your dog.

Practical Tips for Using Tick Shampoo:

To ensure the effective use of tick shampoo and the safety of your dog, follow these practical tips:

1. Choose Wisely: Select a tick shampoo specifically formulated for dogs, taking into account factors such as your dog's age, size, and any existing skin conditions.

2. Read and Follow Instructions: Carefully read and follow the instructions provided on the product label, including dilution ratios, application methods, and recommended frequency of use.

3. Perform a Patch Test: Before applying the tick shampoo to your dog's entire body, conduct a patch test by applying a small amount to a localized area of their skin and monitoring for any adverse reactions.

4. Thorough Application: When bathing your dog with tick shampoo, ensure thorough lathering and massage into the coat, paying particular attention to areas where ticks are commonly found, such as the ears, neck, and legs.

5. Rinse Thoroughly: After shampooing, rinse your dog's coat thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all traces of shampoo residue and prevent skin irritation.

Conclusion:

Tick shampoo for dogs is an invaluable tool in protecting our furry friends from the dangers of ticks. By selecting a tick shampoo with effective ingredients and following proper application techniques, you can help ensure your pet remains tick-free and healthy. Remember to consult with your veterinarian if you have any concerns or questions regarding tick prevention for your dog. With consistent use of tick shampoo and other preventive measures, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your beloved canine companion is well-protected against tick-borne diseases.

5 Reasons Why Paint Protection Film Is Your Car's Best Friend

In the world of automotive care, there’s a hidden hero that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves: Paint Protection Film (PPF). This transparent layer of protection has been revolutionizing the way car owners preserve the integrity and beauty of their vehicles. From shielding against road debris to maintaining that showroom shine, PPF is truly a car’s best friend. Let’s delve into five compelling reasons why every car owner should consider investing in this innovative solution.

Preservation of Aesthetic Appeal: Your car's paint job is more than just a coat of color; it's a statement of style and sophistication. However, the road can be a harsh environment, with gravel, rocks, insects, and other debris waiting to leave their mark on your pristine finish. PPF acts as an invisible barrier, absorbing the impact of these elements and preventing scratches, chips, and stains from marring your car's surface. With PPF in place, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your vehicle's aesthetic appeal will remain intact for years to come.

Long-Term Cost Savings: While some may view PPF as an additional expense, it’s essential to recognize the long-term cost-saving benefits it provides. Consider the expenses associated with repairing paint damage: repainting panels, filling in chips, and buffing out scratches can quickly add up. By investing in PPF upfront, you’re proactively safeguarding your car against potential damage, ultimately saving you money on future repairs. Additionally, Paint Protection Film (PPF) Calgary helps maintain your vehicle's resale value by preserving its original paint condition, making it a wise investment for both the present and the future.

Enhanced Durability: Modern vehicles are subjected to a myriad of environmental hazards, from UV rays to harsh weather conditions. PPF serves as a durable shield, offering protection against fading, discoloration, and oxidation caused by prolonged exposure to the sun. Furthermore, it’s resistant to chemicals, ensuring that accidental spills or splatters won’t compromise your car's finish. With PPF guarding your vehicle, you can drive with confidence, knowing that it’s equipped to withstand whatever the road throws its way.

Easy Maintenance: Maintaining a flawless exterior isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about ease of upkeep. PPF simplifies the cleaning process by providing a smooth, non-porous surface that repels dirt, grime, and water. Unlike traditional waxing or sealants, which require frequent reapplication, PPF offers long-lasting protection with minimal maintenance. A simple wash with soap and water is all it takes to keep your car looking brand new, allowing you to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying the open road.

Customizable Solutions: One of the most significant advantages of PPF is its versatility. Whether you drive a sleek sports car or a rugged SUV, there’s a PPF solution tailored to your vehicle's specific needs. From full-body coverage to targeted applications for high-impact areas, such as the hood, fenders, and side mirrors, PPF can be customized to provide the level of protection you desire. Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the development of self-healing PPF, which can repair minor scratches and swirl marks with the application of heat. With customizable options available, you can tailor your PPF installation to suit your lifestyle and driving habits.

In conclusion, Paint Protection Film is not just a luxury; it's a practical investment that offers a multitude of benefits for car owners. From preserving your vehicle's aesthetic appeal to providing long-term cost savings and enhanced durability, PPF is a true ally in the quest to keep your car looking its best. With easy maintenance and customizable solutions, there’s no reason not to embrace the protection and peace of mind that PPF provides. So, the next time you hit the road, remember that your car's best friend is right there, invisibly guarding against the elements and preserving its beauty for miles to come.

10 ways to use vinegar in your garden

We’ve all been aware that vinegar is not only a delicious chip flavoring but also a brilliant all-purpose cleaner in the home. But did you know that it also has many uses in the garden? The best thing about it is that it’s cheap, and useful for so many things.

1. Kill weeds

You can kill weeds by spraying straight vinegar onto them, being careful not to spray onto plants you want to keep. This is a great option if you prefer not to use commercial poisons in your yard, especially if you have pets or kids using the garden. 

2. Keep animals at bay

There is no passionate gardener who doesn’t get frustrated by the neighbourhood cats or possums digging in their soil and doing their business among the plants. By soaking a few old cloths in vinegar and hanging them in low places around your garden, animals will be deterred naturally and without risk or cruelty.

3. Cleaning pots 

Terracotta pots are something most people have in their gardens. They’re practical and look lovely and classy without taking any of the focus away from the plant growing in them, but can quickly get dirty and aren’t easy to clean. 

Try washing them with vinegar; it will quickly get rid of any built-up dirt and restore their colour.

4. Help plants to bloom

Some plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas thrive in an acidic soil environment. Add one cup of vinegar to around four liters of water and add it to the soil of these plants. 

5. Get rid of ants

Ants are a frustrating pest to battle! Mix together equal parts vinegar and water, and spray at the entrance of their nest and on the paths and surfaces you find them on. 

6. Get your seeds growing

The night before planting, soak your seeds in a solution of 500ml water and 125ml of vinegar to help them germinate better. 

7. Repel insects

Insects can cause an enormous amount of damage to your garden, and vinegar can help here too. Spray it around the edges of your garden beds to repel them. 

8. Get rid of fruit flies

Whether you have an orchard or you just have a few fruit trees, you’ll know the pain of picking your fruit to find they’ve been infested with fruit flies. In a bottle, mix together one cup of water, half a cup apple cider vinegar, a quarter cup of sugar, and one tablespoon of molasses, then hang the mixture in your fruit trees and wait for the pesky flies to get caught!

9. Keep your tools spick and span

After gardening, soak your tools in vinegar for a few minutes and then rinse them off to keep rust from developing. 

10. No more mould

Fungus and mould can be disastrous for our plants, but some are prone to it. Brew some chamomile tea, then add two tablespoons of vinegar to it. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray onto any affected plants, and repeat until the fungus is gone.

The landscapes are breathtaking, with savannahs and lakes. Camp under the stars for a true wilderness experience. Queen Elizabeth & Lake Mburo Safari is a magical journey into nature’s wonders, where animals roam freely, and every moment is a snapshot of Africa’s beauty.

Embarking on a 5 Days Queen Elizabeth & Lake Mburo Safari promises an unforgettable adventure, immersing you in the breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife of Uganda. To make the most of your safari experience, here are some essential tips to ensure a successful and enjoyable journey.

Plan Ahead

Before you set off on your safari, take the time to plan and research. Understand the itinerary, accommodation options, and the wildlife you might encounter. Queen Elizabeth National Park boasts a wide variety of animals, including lions, elephants, hippos, and numerous bird species. Lake Mburo is known for its zebras, impalas, and the rare eland. Knowing what to expect enhances your appreciation of the natural wonders you’ll encounter.

Choose the Right Season

Uganda’s climate is generally mild, but the best time for a safari is during the dry seasons: from December to February and June to September. This ensures clearer skies, better wildlife visibility, and a more comfortable overall experience. However, if you enjoy birdwatching, the wet season (March to May and October to November) brings migratory birds, adding a vibrant touch to the landscapes.

Pack Wisely

Packing for a safari requires a balance between comfort and practicality. Essential items include comfortable clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, sturdy walking shoes, and a pair of binoculars for enhanced wildlife viewing. Don’t forget your camera to capture the incredible moments. Pack light but be prepared for varying weather conditions, especially in the early mornings and evenings.

Stay Hydrated and Energized

Safaris can be physically demanding, with long hours spent exploring the wildlife-rich areas. Carry a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day, especially in the African heat. Pack some energy-boosting snacks like nuts, fruits, or energy bars to keep you fueled during game drives and walks. It’s crucial to maintain your energy levels to fully enjoy the experience.

Respect Wildlife and Environment

One of the cardinal rules of any safari is to respect the wildlife and their natural habitat. Keep a safe distance from the animals, refrain from feeding them, and avoid making loud noises. This not only ensures your safety but also preserves the integrity of the ecosystem. Responsible tourism is key to the conservation efforts in these national parks.

Listen to Your Guide

Your safari guide is a wealth of knowledge about the local flora and fauna. Listen attentively to their insights, stories, and instructions. They are trained to keep you safe while providing an informative and enjoyable experience. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask – they are there to enhance your understanding and appreciation of the natural wonders around you.

Embrace the Early Mornings

The early mornings in the national parks are magical. Animals are most active during the cooler hours, and the morning light provides fantastic opportunities for photography. Game drives at dawn increase your chances of witnessing predators in action and experiencing the serene beauty of the African landscapes. So, set that alarm and savor the quiet beauty of the early hours.

Immerse Yourself in Local Culture

Take the opportunity to interact with local communities during your safari. Visit nearby villages, learn about their traditions, and support local businesses. This not only enriches your cultural experience but also contributes to the sustainable development of the region. Be open to meeting new people, trying local cuisine, and gaining a deeper understanding of the communities that coexist with these remarkable natural habitats.

Be Flexible and Patient

Wildlife sightings are unpredictable, and the thrill of a safari lies in the element of surprise. Be patient and keep a flexible mindset, as nature operates on its schedule. You might not see every animal on your checklist, but the joy is in the journey. Enjoy the landscapes, the sounds of the wilderness, and the anticipation of discovering the unexpected.

Reflect and Conserve

As you marvel at the wonders of Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Mburo, take a moment to reflect on the importance of conservation. Your visit contributes to the local economy and supports ongoing efforts to protect these natural treasures. Consider how you can minimize your environmental impact during the trip, from reducing plastic waste to choosing eco-friendly accommodations.

In conclusion, a 5 Days Lake Mburo Safari offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and witness the beauty of Uganda’s wildlife. By planning ahead, packing wisely, respecting the environment, and embracing the local culture, you can ensure a successful and enriching safari experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.
