This website from the University of California, Davis, has some ideas on how to control them. They do suggest a professional if it gets out of hand. If you do go for a professional, do not hesitate to see if they are licensed and to see how aware they are of “integrated pest management” which is a rather generic term for using pesticides only as a last resort and using management methods instead.

For Bed Bug Control

Note that these are meant for Californians, but will work other places as well. Good luck

Your best bet is first to hire a professional exterminator. However, sometimes even an exterminator cannot get rid of bed bugs. If the exterminator fails or if you cannot afford an exterminator, you can get rid of the bed bugs with baking soda.

Buy about 10 boxes of baking soda. And you’ll need more later. You might want to buy in bulk. This site seems to be reasonable: http://www.camdengrey.com/essential-oils/Raw-Materials-Salts-Sugars-Powders/baking-soda-bulk.html?attribute=weight&value=50_lbs

Costco usually carries large bags of baking soda, too.

Start with one room at a time…maybe your bedroom.

1. Vacuum. Then sprinkle the baking soda everywhere on the floor. Make sure you put a good coating around and under the bed. Spread the baking soda with a broom, so you have a fairly even coating. Just leave the baking soda on the floor. Do not vacuum.

2. Remove all sheets and comforters. Wash these in detergent and Hot water. Dry thoroughly.

3. Vacuum the bed extremely well.

4. If you can afford to replace the mattress, replace it. If not, buy a bed bug mattress cover, like these: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&tbm=shop&sclient=psy-ab&q=bedbug+mattress+cover&oq=bedbug+mattress+cover&gs_l=serp.3..0.12994.12994.0.13896.1.1.0.0.0.0.188.188.0j1.1.0…0.0…1c.1.zUBiEhmdhe8&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=e9b38bf81a00f83f&bpcl=40096503&biw=819&bih=508

I’m sure you can find these at Walmart and Kmart if you’d rather not buy on line.

Sprinkle baking soda directly on your mattress before putting the mattress cover on. Make sure you flip the mattress in order to coat both sides with baking soda. Also use a generous amount of baking soda at the edges and in creases. Bed Bugs love the creases at the edges of the mattress. After coating with baking soda, you then put the mattress cover on and just leave it on…do not remove it for a year.

5. Wrap duct tape or Gorilla Tape around the bed legs STICKY SIDE OUT. This way the bugs will get stuck trying to get to you. Another alternative is to buy some peel and stick tiles and place the feet of your bed on these. (Place a little square of paper towel directly under the feet of the bed to keep the feet from sticking to the tiles.) Place the tiles sticky-side up, so the bugs will get stuck on the tiles. Change the tape or tiles as needed.

Alternatively you can place the feet of your bed in bed bugs traps, such as these:

http://www.amazon.com/Climbup-Insect-Interceptor-Bed-Trap/dp/B004PKKP1K

6. Pull the bed away from the wall so that it does not touch.

7. Remake the bed, but never allow sheets or comforters to touch the floor.

After a week, vacuum the floors and re-apply the baking soda. (Just leave the mattress covers on.)

Treat all bedrooms this way. Also treat any room that you suspect harbors bed bugs. Treat for a full year. Yes, a year! Bed bugs are extremely hardy and it will take a full year of all out war to get rid of them.

Yes, your bedrooms will look a little funny with baking soda all over the floors, but it beats the alternative.

I would use baking soda, as opposed to Diatomaceous Earth (DE). DE works, but DE also cuts lungs in both people and pets, so it’s dangerous. Baking soda is gentle on people and pets but will kill the bed bugs.

I would also use baking soda as opposed to Borax. Borax is a poison that is harmful to people and pets. Plus it has been banned in many countries.

Good luck.

Grand Theft Auto IV cheats, tips and secrets

If you’re one of the lucky people who managed to get their hands on Grand Theft Auto IV before the shops started running out of stock, congratulations – but now, the hard work really begins.

Grand Theft Auto IV: Violence flares after launch

Watch the trailers: #1 | #2 | #3 | #4
With about 100 hours of gameplay to contend with, and the distinct possibility that no two gamers’ experiences will be the same, some fans are going to need a helping hand to unlock mini-games, additional content, extra weaponry, bonus lives and, erm, a map showing the location of all the pigeons in Liberty City.

Dial up a cheat: Niko’s phone can be used to make gamers’ lives a little easier

Here we give our low-down of some of the top cheats for GTA IV. All the cheat codes given below work on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Our crack band of thumb bandits have tried most of them, but there are one or two we haven’t had the chance to check yet.

We recommend that you don’t save the game after using a cheat in case it causes an unexpected glitch – we’d hate you to lose everything you’ve just spent the last 18 hours building up, and online gaming forums suggest that the use of some cheats can prevent you from earning gaming achievements. Still, maybe that’s the reason for the saying “Cheats never prosper”…

Niko’s mobile phone provides the perfect tool for cheating your way through the game. Bring the handset onscreen and then dial the following numbers to unleash some cool new features:

advertisementDial GTA-555-0100 (482-555-0100) to restore Niko to full health and a complete complement of ammo.

Dial GUN-555-0150 (486-555-0100) to unlock some seriously heavy new weapons, including an RPG, grenades, a sniper rifle and a surprisingly handy baseball bat.

Dial COP-555-0100 (267-555-0100) to remove Niko’s wanted level if you’ve got too many of Liberty City’s finest on your tail.

Dial COP-555-0150 (267-555-0150) to add a star to Niko’s wanted level if it’s all proving just a bit too easy for your criminal mastermind.

Dial FLY-555-0100 (359-555-0100) to spawn a police helicopter.

Dial HOT-555-0100 (468-555-0100) to change the weather in Liberty City.
