November 27th, 2009 Michelle Santana Smith No comments

Who wouldn’t love being complimented at the way your bedroom flaunts its elegance? Well, there is a lot that goes into designing your dream bedroom. Are you one of those interior freaks who would do anything for the appealing look of your house? Then you ought to be very careful while choosing and buying furniture. Selecting bedroom furniture could be a very dicey process if you don’t have an idea of the variety in the material and designs that they come in.

Your bedroom is a place where you should be able to come and unwind from the stresses of the day as well as re-charge your brain at the end of the day with comfortable, rejuvenating sleep. So shouldn’t you have the best furniture and accessories in your personal relaxation room? There is a lot to think about when kitting out a bedroom such as curtains, mattresses, window shutters, places to sit, they all need thinking about and before you make the decision to buy any bedroom furniture, you should make sure to consider the following;

- The size of your bedroom is very important and so you should carefully consider the size of the bigger pieces of furniture like the bed, and how much room will be left.

- The choice of the color of wood from either the dark or the light finish that could give your room a perfect brilliance as you enter.

- Storage space must also be considered when planning your bedroom, where should wardrobes go etc. how big should a wardrobe be? Beds with storage space inside them can be a real space saver as well.

- The guarantee on the bedroom furniture you purchase is very important as you shouldn’t have to replace something out of your own pocket if you’ve been given a defective piece.

If you’re buying all your bedroom furniture from one place, nothing could be better than that as you could be eligible for a great discount from the store.

Common Indoor Bugs

September 15th, 2009 Owen Jones No comments

The common indoor bugs we see all over the world are flies, spiders, fleas and beetles. No-one likes to have a bug indoors, so most people go to almost any lengths to get rid of these common indoor bugs. Less common indoor bugs may be woodlice, earwigs, scorpions and millipedes or centipedes, although they are no less unwelcome.

It does not matter where you are in the world, it is very difficult to keep these common indoor bugs outside, unless you go to the extremes of keeping all your windows and doors shut all of the time, which is obviously impossible. I now live in Thailand and I know for sure that this is not an option.

So, just what can you do about it? Well, let’s deal with all the flying bugs first, as of all the common indoor bugs, I think they are the most obnoxious indoor bug. They are very annoying, buzzing around your head and mosquitoes and other flies can create irritating sores and besides that, all flies carry disease. I cannot bear to see them walking on food, knowing that they have more than likely just come off some dung heap somewhere and now they are spitting on my food to taste it with their dirty feet!

My first line of defence is fine-mesh door and widow screens. They are not dear and can be fitted retrospectively to any window. My window meshes slide, so they can protect only one half of a window at a any one time, but I do not think that’s a problem. You can still create cross-winds, by opening two or more windows at opposing ends of a room. I love to see the flies on the mesh struggling to get in by day and the mosquitoes doing the same by night. At night, it is best to switch on as little light indoors as possible so as not to draw these common indoor bugs.

My second line of defence is natural predators – lizards, like Geckos (Jin Jok, in Thai). Some people don’t like them in the house much either and I can’t say that I’m all that keen on them indoors myself, but they are hard to keep outside and they do eat hundreds, if not thousands, of indoor bugs every day. I especially like to see them lying in wait on the outside of the mesh, ready to jump on any bug trying to struggle its way through the wires.

My third line of defence is an indoor bug zapper. You know, the electric, handheld bug zapper that looks like a child’s tennis racquet. They are fantastic at catching and destroying any flying indoor bug. The inset literally explodes and vaporizes on contact with the fully-charged wires of the indoor bug zapper. If you haven’t tried using one, you really should. They are most gratifying. These three defences keep our house quite much free of flies.

The creeping common indoor bugs are less of a problem really. Door screens on springs will keep 95% of them out and the Geckos will help too. Spiders can get in fairly easily, but then, I don’t mind them too much as long as they keep out of my way, as they eat other insects too. They are on our side to be honest. However, for those who can not bear to trap them and put them outside, the handheld indoor bug zapper works a treat on spiders too.

Sometimes, Fleas can be a problem, if you have cats or dogs, but then if you wash or dust the animal once a month, you should be able to keep these common indoor bugs under control fairly easily. However, there are two final measures that we use. Once a week, before we go out for the day, we spray every room with fly killer and every six-months we spray any rugs or carpets with an insect killer containing permethrin, which will survive washing and vacuuming for that long without losing its ability to kill common indoor bugs on contact. If you follow these methods, you should be able to keep your home or office quite free of the most common indoor bugs and the less common indoor bug as well.
