The West Nile Virus is spread by mosquito bites. According to the Centers for Disease Control, it's the worst outbreak of West Nile virus in U.S. history. Here in Colorado, there have been over 20 reported cases and 3 deaths from West Nile virus.

Below are a few tips to reduce your exposure to West Nile Virus with control and prevention of mosquitoes:

Replace all standing water at least once a week, this includes bird baths and planters
In ponds, introduce mosquito eating fish such as gambusia, green sunfish and bluegills
Additionally, avoid going outdoors where and when mosquitoes are most active: dusk and dawn.
Use repellent on exposed skin and wear long-sleeved shirts and long legged pants.

West Nile virus symptoms start with a fever, then headaches, stiffness and flu-like symptoms, usually 3 to 15 days after being bitten.

Experts say West Nile virus can cause serious illness, including long-term disability, brain infections and death. Though 4 out of 5 people bitten by an infected mosquito don't ever develop symptoms, it's not a risk you want to take.

Spider Control
Posted on September 6, 2012 by dkay

To effectively control spiders, the conditions inside and outside should be looked at in order to minimize current and future infestations.
Inside: eliminating or minimizing webs, egg sacs, and harborage areas are great long term preventative methods of non-chemical control. Additionally, boxes should be stored off the floor and sealed if possible. Sticky traps/glue traps can also be strategically placed to catch spiders, but also will tell you what areas are problematic.
Outside: caulking and installing weather stripping around doors, windows, vents or other entry points is helpful to exclude spiders from structures. Dense evergreen bushes and ivy provide shelter for many insects including spiders, cuttingshr shrubberies back at least 12 inches from the structure is recommended.
Let’s not forget that spiders are attracted to insect populations for food. So keeping the area free of other insects will make the property less attractive to spiders.Changing exterior lights to the yellow bug lights reduce the number of insects attracted to the property.
Once spiders have been eliminated inside the structure, a residual treatment on the exterior of the building every two or three months spring through mid autumn should prevent spider infestations inside.

Incredible macro shots of parasitic insects. Hopefully these will not end up giving people nightmares, lol http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2194253/Meet-planets-vampire-bugs-spend-waking-moment-looking-ways-extract-blood.html

From our comfortable spot near the top of the food chain, it is easy to forget that we are still prey for numerous animals. But take a peek at some of the creepy teeth and feeding equipment - if you dare.

Mosquito Control and Prevention
Posted on July 5, 2012 by dkay

Summer is mosquito season. Mosquitoes not only cause annoying bites, but also can carry West Nile virus. So it is important to prevent mosquitoes around your property. Most people tend to think of chemical solutions as the best answer for insect control, but that is not the best defense for mosquitoes. Prevention is a better solution than using pesticides.
Eliminating standing water around your property is your best defense. Mosquitoes need standing water to breed. Mosquitoes take only five days to go from egg to adult. Check your yard every few days for any standing water. A few common areas where water can accumulate are low spots in the lawn, flower pots, toys, and lawn equipment. If you have a bird bath, change the water every three to four days.
When outside, wear light colored, loose fitting clothing. Mosquitoes can bite through tight fitted clothing and are more attracted to dark colors. Some mosquito breeds have been shown to be attracted to red and blue.
People over age 50 are at highest risk for developing severe disease symptoms according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). So people in this high risk group should be cautious about preventing mosquito exposure. There are many products available as mosquito repellents.Most experts recommend products containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or biospesticide IR3535.

I wouldn't personally use this approach, but it's interesting to note nonetheless http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/31/bed-bugs-alcohol-study_n_1559306.html

From Brooke Borel, Life's Little Mysteries Contributor: The common bed bug mainly survives on human blood, but what happens when that human has upped his or her blood alcohol content with a few glasses of a nice red wine?
