About bed bugs can crawl up to four feet in a minute, easily making it across rooms and hallways in hotels and apartment complexes. They also travel in bags or purses, and can hitch a ride on secondhand furniture or clothes. They’re good at hiding during the day and can escape to your home or condo from the outside.

What is pest and method of pest control?

You can help prevent a bed bug infestation by taking the following steps:

Reduce clutter. Vacuum all surfaces, paying special attention to cracks and crevices. Vacuum frequently, especially after returning from a trip. Dump the vacuum contents out to keep them from coming back in.

Wash all linens, including sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and mattress covers. Put them in a hot dryer for 30 minutes to kill any bed bugs or eggs.

Consider using mattress and box spring covers that can be closed shut (the kind used for dust mite control). Seal cracks and crevices. Use caulk to cover any gaps where pipes or wires enter your house. Do not place a TV or computer on the edge of a desk, as these are common places for bed bugs to hide.

Caregivers, firefighters and police officers often enter infested dwellings to provide assistance. These individuals are at risk of bringing the pests back to their homes or workplaces. Caregivers should wash their clothes and shoes as soon as possible when leaving an infested dwelling. They should also wear a pair of slippers or shoes in the home to minimize contact with other surfaces.

The Gonz Insulation  is a key part of your home’s thermal envelope and a primary area where heat tends to overflow in the summer. This excess heat can damage shingles and force your air conditioning system to work overtime, increasing energy costs. Fortunately, there are affordable ways to prevent excessive attic heat from entering the living spaces below, reducing energy expenses and preventing costly structural problems. Upgrading attic insulation, improving ventilation and installing attic fans are effective strategies to reduce heat buildup in the attic space and enhance overall energy efficiency.

Why is my Attic Hot?

The sun’s thermal radiation, conduction and convection cause heat to transfer through the roof structure to the attic space. This heat can overheat the shingles and roof rafters, and if the attic is not properly ventilated, it can flow down into the living space below. Insulation, attic ventilation and air sealing are essential to preventing this heat transfer and minimizing cooling expenses.

During the summer, the air in your attic naturally rises due to the “chimney effect.” This air can overheat the shingles and roof sheathing, causing the attic space to overheat. This excess heat can then enter the living space below, resulting in uncomfortable temperatures and increasing energy costs. There are several options to improve attic airflow and cool the attic, including adding soffit vents and ridge vents, adding gable wall vents and installing a whole house fan. However, it is important to remember that if you are trying to use an existing air conditioner to cool the attic space, this could overburden the system if it wasn’t designed with attic ventilation in mind.

Cleaning kitchen exhaust vent hoods, grates, and filters is an important component of any restaurant sanitation program. In addition to reducing fire hazards and improving cooking oil management, routine cleaning offers financial, operational, and environmental benefits. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends cleaning commercial kitchen hood and duct systems on a quarterly basis. When done right, hood and duct cleaning can help ensure compliance with restaurant inspection standards and minimize grease buildup, which leads to fire hazards.

Proper hood and duct cleaning requires the proper chemicals, equipment, and procedures. Selecting chemicals that are effective against specific grease types, compatible with hood materials, and safe for foodservice employees and equipment is critical to ensure optimal results without damaging surfaces or components. This balance is essential to achieving documented compliance with kitchen inspection standards and maintaining efficient and effective kitchen operations.

Best Products to Use for Kitchen Hood Cleaning
