May the Fourth be with you -Pest Control Jedi

May 4th, 2012 No comments

Me: It’s Star Wars day! May the Fourth be with you!

Co-Worker: Ha, that’s funny. :\

Why is today Star Wars day? Why not June Fourth?

Me: …. ? .. May the Fourth…

 

 

And that is the reason behind Star Wars day, because of the pun, “May the fourth be with you.” Some of the credit goes to the London press who put this now infamous quote into ink with “May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations.” On May 4th, 1979, Margret Thatcher was elected as Britian’s Prime Minister. In 2005, an interviewer of George Lucas misinterpeted the saying “May the force be with you.” into “We shall be with you on May Fourth”. The first ever huge organization of a May 4th, Star Wars party was held last year, in Toronto Canada by the Toronto Underground Cinema. And today May 4, 2012 will be the 2nd edition of the Underground’s Star Wars Party, with the claim “IT WILL BE THE BEST PARTY IN THE GALAXY!” I must admit, I am just a little jealous.

 

NEVER SEEN STAR WAR?!!!!!

Really? So blogger, whyevolutionistrue, has never seen star wars. Yes, it’s true there are a few people that have never seen Star Wars. I myself could claim that I had never seen a full episode of “Friends” during it’s first four seasons… But that was only 3 hail Mary’s, Star Wars would have to be at least 30 Hail Mary’s and 6 Confessions.

 As a side not, May 25th, 1977 was the release date of Star Wars.

What do you know, just a few short weeks after my birthday. Star Wars and I are the same age! We are getting old.

Carpenter Ant Activity

 

Have you spotted suspicious bug activities in the nooks and crannies of your home? Or what looks like fine sawdust near some woodwork? If so, there may be carpenter ants in house crawling about gnawing and chewing away at the wooden bones of your home, hard at work establishing their fortifications.

Your home should be a safe, comfortable place to live in. While your home won’t literally fall apart about your ears – the carpenter ants in the house are quite different from termites – they can still do some damage to the wooden frameworks by weakening them with their tunneling, and it’s important to nip this in the bud. Carpenter ants like warm, humid environments for their nests and lakeside homes and boathouses are a popular choice for them.

Most commercially available ant baits won’t work on these carpenter ants. No, they’re cannier than an average ant. There is a new, specialized ant traps just for carpenter ants that you can try. But the best way to get rid of them is to use professional pest control services to treat the whole house, inside and out, in particular targeting the nest.

 

Bed bugs, on the other hand, is a whole ‘nother ball of wax.

Do the nightly appearances by bed bugs performing a gripping, biting dance on the stage that is your bed keep you up all night? It is awfully hard to grab some shuteye with tiny bugs nipping away at your tender flesh.

Bed bugs are perhaps one of the most difficult (and perhaps embarrassing – but you shouldn’t be!) pests to eradicate from your home without the use of professional pest control services. Some people end up surrendering and destroy their beds, linens, furniture, and even clothes. That’s expensive, sometimes ineffective – and very unnecessary.

There are five different bed bug treatments, and depending on the life cycle stage your bed bug infestation is in, one or other may be the most effective. It may be necessary to utilize more than one different type of bed bug treatments if your infestation is severe. A good pest control services can help you choose the best option for you and your household.
