Wasp Information and How to Control Them

!±8± Wasp Information and How to Control Them

Wasps

The wasp is a common problem throughout summer in the UK and other parts of Northern Europe. They are social insects that form colonies inside nests. Nests are often found in soil banks, roof spaces, and in areas within trees and walls.

Biology

The queen wasp will emerge from its hibernation around mid-April time and will search for a suitable site for her colony. The queen wasp will then build the foundations of the nest by using chewed bark and dried timber mixed with saliva. The nest at this point is no bigger than a golf ball in size and within this nest she lays between 10 and 20 eggs. The first brood of adult workers takes over the tasks of enlarging the nest and providing food for subsequent eggs laid down by the queen. By the end of the summer, the nest can contain between 3000 and 5000 wasps and measure over 30 cm across.

Later in the summer, males and young queens emerge and mating occurs. Once fertilised, the queen flies away to find a suitable site for the winter. Once the cooler weather comes, the workers and remaining males become lethargic, and they feed off ripe and over-ripe fruits. This can produce aggressive behaviour to anyone interfering with them.

The onset of the cold weather kills off all of these workers and males, and it is only the queen that survives in hibernation to start a new colony in the spring.

Importance

Wasps do visit bins, waste depots and dead animal bodies and therefore they have the possibility of spreading diseases, but they are mainly known for their nuisance in the late summer.

In the early parts of summer, wasps are too busy collecting food for the nest, however later in the season as the larval rearing decreases, the workers and males turn to sweeter products and they become nuisances in homes, bakeries, offices etc. They also have the ability to sting apparent threats, a habit which increases as the insect becomes more irritable with the onset of the cooler weather, and the feeding on fermented, over-ripe fruits.

Control

Some people are allergic to wasp stings, but nonetheless, it still becomes an irritant if you're not. Wasps are generally easy to control if access to the nest can be achieved. Control of adults in flight alone will unlikely to exert much control over an active nest, however strategic positioned wasp traps, such as Waspbane, will attract nuisance wasps away from sensitive areas for example children play-areas or public parks and gardens.

The main aim should be to disable the nest by applying a residual insecticide to the nest entrance. If the nest in found in a loft space, shed or anywhere indoors, the use of mini-smoke generators is beneficial to knock down the majority of the worker wasps. Wasps re-entering the nests will need to come into contact with the residual dust, and they will naturally walk to product into the nest, thus killing it off.

Nests are often found in loft spaces, cavity walls, behind cladding, in flower beds etc. Be careful when treating wasps in loft space etc. and make sure there are no signs of bat activity.

In general residual dusts are far better then residual sprays. Most residual dusts are ideal, for example, bendiocarb and pyrethriod.

How to Keep Chickens As Indoor Pets For Kids

!±8± How to Keep Chickens As Indoor Pets For Kids

Chickens roaming around in the house, you say!  Impossible!

But it's very possible.  In fact chickens make fine indoor pets for your children.  They take up little room, they cost only "chicken feed" to maintain and they provide endless hours of entertainment for your kids and their friends.  You can even choose a bantum or small breed, about a quarter to half the size of a standard chicken, to save space. 

There are a few simple requirements for keeping pet chickens successfully.

1.)  Cleanliness

Obviously, chickens can't be housebroken.  Many fond chicken owners say that any mess the chicken makes is easily cleaned up and they don't mind.  You can keep your home really pristine by putting your indoor chickens into diapers.  This is not as bizarre as it seems.  Practical, attractive diapers for chickens are available via the Internet.  Chicken get used to wearing them quickly. Search for "chicken diapers" and you will find suppliers.  You can also keep your chicken confined to certain areas of the house where you don't mind doing a little wiping up. Children can be given this responsibility.

2.)  Protection from other pets.

Your dog may want to chase your chickens so you will have to train it to leave the birds alone. Do this by keeping your dog on a leash and reprimanding it sharply each time it shows aggression toward the chickens until you feel you can rely on it to share space peacefully.  Cats will generally leave adult chickens alone but can't be trusted around baby chicks.  On the other hand, chickens will bravely peck any pushy pet on it's sensitive nose and will even gang up if necessary.  After a few painful beak jabs, even a large dog or cat will steer clear.

3.)  Safe shelter at night.

Never leave your chickens outdoors in the yard after dark.  They must either have a safe coop or stay in the house.  Otherwise predators such as raccoon, foxes, weasels, skunks, cats, etc. will soon make off with them. A roomy cage inside the house will keep your chickens out of trouble when you are not around.  A pet carrier will do fine for a chicken to sleep in at night.

4.)  Keep only hens.

Roosters, though very handsome, are noisy, territorial and will keep trying to mate with the hens.  Roosters really do get up with the sun and, when they do, they crow at the top of their lungs to declare they own your house.  A rooster is not likely to be happy indoors.

5.)  Raise your pet chicken from a chick.

Your chick will be socialized from the start and be easily handled.  It will follow your children about and sit in their laps.  It only takes a few weeks for the chick to become a full sized chicken so the time goes fast.         

6.)  Your kids can train their pet chickens.

Chickens can be trained to do simple tricks, like come when called or peck at a given target.  All it takes is a little patience and lots of food treats.  Kids love thinking up new tricks and teaching their chickens to perform.  Only kindness and food rewards work, never anger or punishment.

So if you don't want to take on a dog or a cat, but want a low-cost, easy-to-keep pet that will interact with your children, then pet chickens might just be right for your family.

The Grass Stitcher lets you inexpensively repair bare spots in your lawn quickly and easily. This revolutionary eco-lawn tool works right through dead grass, and leaving the organic material in place adds beneficial mulch and nutrients. Just add seed and water and walk away. There are many ways to make holes in the ground, but no tool can make holes like the Grass Stitcher. It creates the perfect environment for grass seed germination because of the unique plowing action of the wheels, the precise shape and size of the spikes, and the efficient handle design. The efficient handle allows users to easily apply force to the wheels using either foot pressure or body weight.

The wheels penetrate at a distinct angle, creating a plowing effect, loosening and mounding soil. The spikes penetrate up to their small, stubby support arm, achieving the correct depth each time and creating an extra-wide hole that's surrounded by the mounded loose soil. The loosened soil crumbles on top of the seeds when watered. The spiked wheels grind the existing grass, effectively recycling it as mulch. Lifetime warranty.

How to Get a Girlfriend

!±8± How to Get a Girlfriend

How long has it been since you've had a girlfriend? Whatever the case is, it's much too long. Today, after reading this guide, this will change.

First of all, I will tell you what this guide is not. This guide is not about how to get laid, Casanova; we are talking about a girlfriend that sticks around longer than just one night. This guide is also not meant to teach you how to salvage your already messed up relationship, although some of the lessons taught here may help you out there, bud.

The most important thing is forget about your stupid, absolutely wrong idea that your girlfriend should find out who you are on your first date. It is absolutely moronic to think like that, so NO you are NOT going to show her who you are. You will show her who she wants to see. Ok? If you disagree then stop reading here and forget about ever having a girlfriend. You will spend the rest of your life raiding dungeons with your guildies.

Let's start with you.
Learn about the world you live in and forget about the world your level 70 mage lives in: Your girlfriend will be scared off if you tell her that you stayed up until 5am running that 25 man raid. In fact don't mention anything about your favorite video game. Learn about the political issues, what's going on in the world, even the weather, and get some personal opinions about these, pick a candidate and know why you picked him, or whatever the political issue is. It is better for you to believe something different than she believes than not to have an opinion or even worse not knowing anything about that issue. Some common issues popular during the writing of this guide are abortion, gay marriage, presidential nominee, housing market, economy, North American Union(NAFTA) and several world issues such as hunger, oil, and others. Get opinions about all of these and decide not just whether you are anti-abortion but also why you believe that this is the right way, find out the oppositions arguments and learn to defend against those too. She needs to know that you have a head on your shoulders.

Learn to be funny: Start with the jokes on ComedyCentral.com and watch the Comedy Central channel. There are a bazillion websites, movies, etc. for you to pick up new material from. Now this is a difficult part because what you may think is funny, may not be funny to someone else, i.e. your new perspective girlfriend. So tell your friends, family, even random people on the street/mall if you're brave enough and see if they laugh or sit there with a blank stare. If most people laugh then you should be okay. Also avoid racy jokes, i.e. blond, black, gross, overly sexual, etc. If you can get away with telling it to your mother or grandmother or some other prude in your family then you should be all right.

Get cleaned up: Now I'm not saying go shave if your beard is a part of you. If your buddies don't make fun of you because you look like a dill weed with your semi-beard that looks like you are a 13 year old trying to pass for 18 then keep it. What I mean by clean up is wash your clothes and NO your luck will not go away if you wash your gross baseball cap; ditto with your tidy whiteys and socks. Wash it all with detergent and if it's supposed to be white then add some bleach to it. Get some cologne, and if you are trying to tell me that you already have some then I will soccer punch you. Don't wear the cologne because you like how it smells, or how it looks, or you think it has a cool name, or the one that your mother/aunt/grandma/dad/etc gave to you. Get the one that she thinks smells good. A great place to start is Macy's (some of you still call it Bon Marche, or The Bon) they have a huge selection and ask one of the girls, I repeat girls, there to help you pick one out. A couple that you can't go wrong with is Fierce by Abercrombie and Fitch or Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani. Another tip here is do maybe 2 sprays on your shirt and a half a spray on the front tip of your neck; NEVER spray it under your armpits, sweat and cologne mixed DO NOT smell good. Finally, never substitute cologne for a shower; cologne wears off your stench doesn't.

Next is your environment.

Dude if you are 18 or older and you're still living with mom and dad then you are a loser. I don't care about your situation, that you're going to college and that saves you money, whatever...you are a duesh bag. Get a roommate and rent an apartment. Or if you can afford it buy a home and get roommates. Roommates can be a good thing, when you take your girl to your place and you have somewhat normal roommates she will probably feel more comfortable there than if you live alone; this is true until you're 30 years old or older, by then it is better if you live solo. Keep your pad clean, get on your roommates to clean up the crap that their dog left a week ago in your yard. Keep your yard mowed and green. Clean up the dishes and dirty clothes that are lying around. Have a big screen TV, or at least a TV bigger than 13 inches and a Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo. Remember you are a normal guy so get rid of that Atari, except for you and your nerdy friends, no one thinks that an Atari is cool. Your couches should be decent too, leather is nice but anything that doesn't make you feel dirty by sitting there will work. Put up posters around the living room of your favorite stuff and please make sure it's not a poster of the newest version of Redhat Linux; gangster characters, hot chicks, and favorite movies work well.

Your room needs to be clean too, decorate as you like just don't go too nuts about posting your next W.O.W. character's talent builds or the armor/weapon you want to get. Tone it down with the nerdy stuff. Also make sure your bed is at least a twin size, although a king/queen is better. A single will just not do, your idiotic argument that it will help you cuddle is just that, idiotic. Your comforter cover should be something decent too, the one your mom gave you that has the pink flowers on it is a bad deal, burn it. If you're into weird crap like hacking computers, slicing your wrists, etc. get rid of any signs of that...by the way if you're really into slicing your wrists a girlfriend right now is a bad idea, check yourself into a mental hospital first. Finally make sure your place doesn't smell like dog poo. It's probably not good if it smells like flowers either, but it's better that than dog poo. Fabreeze is your friend here; fabreeze the crap out of all your furniture, clothes, roommates, etc.

Your friends/roommates, unfortunately, are something your girlfriend is going to use to learn more about who you are. So tell your friends to stop acting like turds and stop telling her stupid, boring, or scary crap about you. If she finds out that you are being hunted down by the FBI for hacking into their database then you can forget about any chance you might have with her, she'll bail for the door faster than you can blink. Also make sure your friends notice her, are nice to her, but that's it; if your friends are likely to stare at her tits all night long then you're in trouble. It also helps you out if those friends have their own girlfriends.

Your car needs to be clean inside and out. No fowl smells, new car scent usually works well, even if you're rolling around in a 1960 Gremlin. Bumper stickers are ok and are usually preferred unless you drive a nice car such as a Beamer. It doesn't cost that much to fix the spider web crack in your windshield, so go do it. Also you must have a car of some kind, if you're some kind of a nature freak that only rides a bike then ok, but still have a car that runs so you can take her to dinner instead of having her pick you up.

Now we will cover where to look for her.

Ok, right off the bat, forget about picking up your girlfriend from the bar, strip club, whore house, etc. You will NOT pick up girlfriend material here...no, shut up, I don't care about your or your friend's last girlfriend and where you/he found her. A bar only has whore material or girls that are there to get a free drink from you.

Have your roommate's girlfriend/sister/your friends introduce you to a girl. Let these people know that you are on the prowl. This is probably the easiest way to get a girlfriend as you have someone vouching for you, "....I know this guy, he's pretty cool, you should meet him..." type of thing gives you an advantage because she trusts the person vouching for you so that automatically translates to her having a small trust in you.

Join a church, more specifically a church youth group, small group etc. HOWEVER join it because you are sincerely interested in the church/group. This one will take time before you find the right group/girl, and even more time before you can start making a move on your new found perspective girlfriend. If you make a move too early here, she will think that you joined the group for the wrong reasons. If you join a group that you hate she will notice that you are not involved in any discussions and will see you for the weasel that you are.

As weird and boring as it can be, one of the best places to meet girlfriend material is at operas or Shakespearian type plays. Just make sure that you arrive early so you can "mingle" before the play. This works really well if you can get another guy AND girl to go with you.

Sports activities such as football, baseball, basketball, soccer and other games are another good place although less likely that you will have time to build any kind of relationship here as a decent girl may need two or three exposures to you before phone numbers can be exchanged; although if she comes to most of a particular team's games and usually sits in the same area than you have a chance.

Go to all BBQ's, parties and weddings. These are great places to meet decent chicks. Even if this is a family function, it is common for your family members to bring a friend to such an event and as long as you and this cousin or whatever are on good terms you have an easy in with this friend.

More recently meeting people online is the new thing to do. I would recommend this as a last resort because as there are stories of happy endings with these things, it is more common that you will be 1) be forced to deal with insane amounts of spam and 2) that your "perfect match" turns out to be some kind of a psycho/stalker/etc.

Now we will cover making contact with your potential girl.

The first rule of thumb when trying to grab a girl is that you can NOT come across as easy. Where ever this place is, it is crucial that she thinks that she has to put some effort into "getting you"; that you are a wild Bronx and she has to break you in order for her to make you into a proper man. If you don't she has zero interest in you/ bored. That means that you have to be constantly talking to other girls, yes show her attention, but only a little bit more than the other girls at this place. Make the other girls laugh, but also make her laugh. Finish her off about how dang cute her hair looks. That's it. One compliment, hair is usually a good one. If hair is an obvious "no go" (dreadlocks, bald, etc) then compliment her perfume; but again keep to one compliment. Smile to her across the room, but don't stare. If she glances in your direction, look at her, smile and go back to your conversation. If things are successful then phone numbers are exchanged the first time you see her. Be bold about asking her for her phone number if you received any signs that she's interested in you (if she glances at you from across the room and smiles...that's a GREAT sign). If she didn't respond the first time you see her, don't give up yet. Next time you see her, follow the same procedure, have new jokes, be funny/interesting/etc. It is quite common that your cousin or whoever calls you and tells you that this girl wants you to have her number or she might call you personally.

Finally we will cover your first date.

Once phone numbers have been exchanged, the next day YOU call her ONE time. Let me repeat that for you. YOU CALL HER ONLY ONE TIME. Her machine did record the message, you did not forget to say anything, and she does have caller ID. If she doesn't call you back that day wait 2 more days before calling back ONE MORE TIME. If no response again then DO NOT CALL HER AGAIN!!! Wait to meet her in person again. Message should be sweet and to the point "...hey I was thinking dinner and a movie Friday or Saturday, would love for you to be my date, let me know if you can fit me into your schedule, my number is xxx-xxxx..." that's all you need to say.

You pay for EVERYTHING and tip well. Don't open the door to your car for her unless you don't have automatic locks. You DO open the door for her to every building such as theater, restaurant, and if you're lucky your pad. Make sure that you have reservations for the restaurant, even if you're taking her to some cheap place like Olive Garden, an hour wait is a HUGE mood kill. If she drinks you should drink too, if you're not sure ask her. Just don't get drunk; one glass of wine, one beer, OR one mixed drink. Remember you're driving, she should feel safe with you. If you are an alcoholic and you manage to get drunk on your first date, first of all you are a total moron and you can forget about a second date, but second you might be able to salvage it if you at least pay for a taxi home.

That's it. From now on you're on your own. If you didn't get laid your first night then that's even better, remember you're here for the long haul and there will be plenty of opportunities to experience her later. I'll leave you with one last tip. Confidence is the single most determining factor in your success with relationships. If you don't have a lot of it there are a few things you can do. Right away hit the gym, and go EVERY DAY. Forget about this 3 times a week crap. Monday through Friday you're in the gym for at least one hour. Pick one muscle group for each day. Next thing, enroll in a debate class at your high school or college. The more of a conversationalist you are, the better at arguing or being a smart ass you are, the more confident you will be. Play a sport/join a team; and no bowling and chess are not considered sports. Finally keep trying until you succeed, just because the first girl turned out to be a disaster keep trying...even if this is your tenth time, still keep trying. The more you do it the better you become at it. Good luck in your endeavors...and next time I see you, I hope that there will be some cutie hanging on to your arm.

Is Having A Ferret As Pet A Good Idea Or Should You Stick With Cats And Dogs?

!±8± Is Having A Ferret As Pet A Good Idea Or Should You Stick With Cats And Dogs?

So you have decided to have a ferret as a pet. This is not an unusual decision as ferrets make great pets and a lot of owners can attest to this. Pets have been domesticated for the past 2000 years after all, and were introduced to the North Americas as pets as long as 300 years ago. They can be trained just like cats and dogs and make for great and joyous companions for the right kind of household and family.

Like any other pets ferrets require the same kind of attention like exercise, proper social training - just like cats they can be taught to use the litter tray - and veterinary care.

Some jurisdictions do not allow ferrets to be kept as pets as in the case of New Zealand. The argument against ferrets held by such jurisdictions lies in the fact that ferrets do have fairly sharp teeth. But this is something that can easily be circumvented using proper training. Indeed ferrets can nip, but only in self defence if, for example, they are cornered. This is just a natural survival instinct that all animals and even humans have in circumstances where a threat is sensed.

Ferrets are like small children, very playful and exuberant so if you have both it is a good idea to closely supervise them when in close contact, but this goes without saying even if they are in contact with any other pets. For older children ferrets do, in fact, make really great pets!

Here are also some interesting and useful facts you should take into account should you decide on a ferret as your pet:

Ferrets are great sleepers and can sleep for 18 hours a day. But they will most likely be wakeful at the times you are used to feed them or interact with them.
They can be found napping in places you would least expect, so check very carefully behind that cushion before you sit down in front of the tv or to read a book.
As mentioned they are very jolly pets to have and will play with another ferret (if you bought more than one) without much supervision amusing themselves and you.
Their lifespan is typically 6 to 8 years and sometime up to 12 years. With the right care (see end of article) there is no reason why their typical lifespan can't be extended even more.
They are kind of blind but make up for it by having a strong sense of smell and hearing.
They belong to the weasel family and are related to mink, skunks, otters and badgers. But be aware they are the only member of this family (also known as Mustilidae) that are possible to keep and be domesticated.

Ferrets make for the ideal pet if you are looking for an alternative to having a dog or a cat. Like them they can easily be domesticated to become a member of your extended family. And unlike cats and dogs, you will not have to worry about annoying your neighbours with loud dog barks or their garden (and yours) being used as a toilet.
