Dealing With Bed Bugs? Proceed With Caution and Common Sense

If you are dealing with bed bugs, you must proceed with caution and common sense.
Since this latest bed bug epidemic, there have been many reports of people misusing pesticides.
Let me warn you. If you use a pesticide inside your home that is clearly labeled for outside use, you may make yourself and your family sick. If you use a pesticide that is not labeled for use against bed bugs, you may simply spread the nasty blood suckers over more of your living area!
To be safe, call a pest management professional with a good reputation and experience with bed bugs. I read an article about a pest controller who used the wrong pesticide and not only made the tenants sick but caused them to be evacuated from their building!
Calling a professional is just one of many steps to take if your home is infested with bed bugs.
-Encase your mattress, box springs and pillows in high quality coverings
-Wash and dry your bedding in high temperatures to kill the bed bugs.
-Vacuum often and thoroughly.
-Get rid of clutter!
Remember, bed bugs do not carry disease. Even though they are disgusting and nerve wracking there is no reason to panic and try some foolish do-it-yourself method to get rid of them. You may only cause yourself more trouble.
Dealing with bed bugs is time consuming and requires you to proceed with caution and common sense!
Recall on Ground Beef Affects Eastern States-Could Your State Be One?
The latest recall on ground beef, announced yesterday, affects Eastern states and your state could be one of them.
Here we go again friends. Eggs, deli meat and now ground beef. At least we know our folks at the FSIS are earning their paychecks this month!
Approximately, 8,500 pounds of ground beef products was recalled by Cargill Meat Solutions Corp. because of contamination with E.coli 026.
Three illnesses related to the tainted meat have been reported; 2 in Maine and 1 in New York.
The recall is considered a Class 1 which means “there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
The recalled ground beef contains the USDA establishment number “EST.9400,” an identifying product code of “W69032″ and a “use/freeze by” date of July 1. The USDA says certain BJ’s Wholesale Club stores in Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Virginia received the products this summer.
Although the “use by date” is July 1, officials are urging us to check our freezers to be sure we are not storing any of the tainted beef. The meat was sent out on June 11 to distribution centers where it was repackaged and sold under different retail brand names. The FSIS will release those brand names as soon as they are available.
Symptoms of the E.coli 026 bacterium are bloody diarrhea, dehydration and in serve cases, kidney failure.
For more information regarding this recall on ground beef which affects the eastern states, call the Cargill consumer line at 800-788-4953.
