Things you can do to keep your home pest-free

According to studies, 84% of homes reported having bug issues in the previous year. Pest issues get more serious, especially during the summer. Here, in this article, our experts on pest control in Hastings have listed some precautions. If you are also facing a bug problem or pest infestation in your home, continue reading the following advice and learn, how to avoid pests this summer:

1.Verify the Water Sources Mosquitoes in particular love to lay their eggs in bodies of water. In every container that contains water, female mosquitoes lay their eggs. Any container with standing water can serve as a breeding ground for young mosquitoes, even if your yard doesn't include a water feature or pond. Other pests, such as rodents, will use your yard as a water supply in addition to some bugs that breed in the water. This may keep pests in your yard while also assisting them in surviving. Therefore, be sure to avoid water buildup.

2.Consistently Inspect More pests may visit the same location in the future if you have previously discovered some there. Regularly check the locations where you've previously seen pests. Verify your property for any nests or other obvious indications of pest presence. Your attics, basements, and even the shed are the finest places to inspect. They can be stopped from doing more harm by routine inspection.

3.Cut the Source off The best place for pest control in Brighton would be to eliminate food sources and hide places of pests. There are numerous more sources of pests, much as water may be a source of insects like mosquitoes. It would be challenging to eradicate the bugs if your yard serves as a feeding ground for any kind of pest. Make sure to eliminate pests' access to food sources. In your home, this is particularly crucial.

4.Organize Your House Pests are drawn to filthy homes for a variety of reasons. Bugs will be drawn to the mess if you leave food out in your kitchen or if there are crumbs on the floor. Additionally, it's crucial to keep your home free of debris because these areas make excellent hiding places and nesting grounds for bugs.

5.Be Careful Whom You Bring In Numerous bug species get into your home with you or anything you bring in. Insects and other pests might enter your home by latching onto you or your pets. You should exercise caution when bringing anything into your house. After spending time in a hotel or another location with lots of overnight visitors, always examine your outdoor decor, used furniture, and even your bags.

6.Maintain Your Grass Bugs prefer grass because it provides a cool, damp area to live in, and they consume both the grass and its roots. Long grass is particularly attractive to bugs. Insects like ticks can hide there very well. You can keep these pests out of your yard by routinely trimming your lawn.

7.Trim the shrubs and trees Trimming the trees and bushes around your house is also essential. Pests can enter your home much more easily if your shrubbery is overgrown and close to your residence. Make sure your trees and shrubs don't touch your house to avoid bugs from climbing up there.

8.Obtain Expert Assistance! Finally, if you have followed all of these instructions but are still having pest issues, it may be time to contact a reputable expert for pest control in Lewes which can swiftly resolve your pest control problems. They have a skilled team who are experts at getting rid of even the most obstinate bugs. So, instead of thinking twice, give them a call right away for an early appointment and faster bug resolution.

Lol, aight, I'll bite. Shinsou, Bakugo and Shoto hcs for what they would do for you in animal crossing? Like, would they plant flowers for you, or help you meticulously plan your island? I kinda imagine Shoto becoming obsessed with the Stalk Market, originally to pay of all your loans but then it it becomes really fun for him... Something like that? :3c

hc: how Shinsou, Bakugou, and Todoroki play Animal Crossing with you.

tw: none

tags: fluff, animal crossing, me gushing over hitoshi and shoto

notes: hi anon, ty for taking my bait hehe i really had to think about this one and it was actually super fun to write!! idk why i’ve been in stuck on ac mode or what my obsession w thinking how hq or bnha characters would feel about it is but i’m glad you guys are feeding into that lol. as always ty for requesting, inbox is open, and ily dearly, nonnie. ❥

» out of these three i definitely think shinsou is the only one who actually owns the game and plays on his own island

» he’s a gamer boi, prove me wrong i fkn dare you

» so i think regardless if you two are hanging out with each other or not he’s always on your island or you’re always in his, switching back and forth between the two to help each other out

» i see him as an aesthetic player, he wants his island to have a certain vibe when his friends (literally just you n’ denki) come to visit or when he’s just chilling by himself, fishing with tex or smth idk

» so he’s always on the lookout for things to add, be it from nook’s cranny or design codes he stumbles upon

» he also cares about your island’s atmosphere so best believe he’s sending you shit left and right

» can’t even count how many times you’ve hopped on the game to find your mailbox full of things he sent you with a mix of cute n’ mean notes attached

» they range from “y r u so stinky >:(“

» to “i love you so fuckin much have this shaved ice maker”

» no in between

» also somehow pays off his loans WAY too fast, like where is he getting this fuckin much he spends so many bells on the two of you

» never fails to drop bags of them in front of your house before he hops off for the day

» you try to get him to take the bells back because you are an independent woman who don’t need no man jk pls love me ‘toshi

» but he just runs to the airport and shuts his switch off as soon as you start chasing him

» texts you not even 30 seconds later to say he doesn’t mind being your sugar daddy 🙄

» now I see bakugou as being someone who can’t be bothered by ac LOL

» not that he wouldn’t enjoy it bc i very much so think he would (though he’d never admit it)

» but he wouldn’t really make an effort to hop on every day, maybe doing so every once in a while to blow off some steam or kill some time

» he probably wouldn’t own his own switch either tbh so he’d be on your island as player two awe

» probably put his house way the fuck at the top of the map so no one could bother him LOL

» when you’re not on with him he’ll just do some housekeeping like picking weeds, selling overgrown flowers, watering any plants you were trying to grow, etc.

» just help out with the general upkeep of the island

» lets you do all the decorating and building because he likes your style much better than his own also can’t stick with an aesthetic to save his life

» wracks up a SHIT ton of bells from all the tree chopping, weed picking, bug catching and fishing he does (BUT DOES NOT SHARE WITH YOU)

» majority of your museums donations were from him because he just wants you to worry about making the island look nice

» he. is. a. villager. gatekeeper. WILL NOT let an ugly villager move in and if they do? he’s bonkin’ them with his net and sending them trash DAILY

» “GET THE FUCK OFF Y/N’S ISLAND YOU UGLY ASS RAT”

» you don’t mind tho because he’s uh, kinda right

» overall he’s just helping you out with the small, tedious things that come with your island. would never admit it but deep down he does it because he knows how much you enjoy putting things together to create your own cute little world

» always sends you post cards at the end of the day to tell you what he did and remind you he loves you <3

» i really had to sit and think ab this one because while i wholeheartedly agree with anon that he’d be into the stalk market, he would not understand why tf you play this game LOL

» honestly don’t even try to sit there and explain it because he’ll just stare at you like

» “?? you like being in debt to a raccoon ??”

» but i think once you convince him to give it a try he’ll KIND OF see the appeal

» especially, like anon said, the whole stalk market dynamic and how relatively easy it is to make bells

» another one who probably doesn’t own a switch so he plays on your island too, but he definitely puts his house RIGHT NEXT to yours, what a cutie

» he’s just trying to help out out the best he can. really likes putting whatever bells he makes during the day toward your loans or dropping them in your home so you can use them to relocate a building or smth

» surprisingly really into gardening ??

» when he complimented your flowers in front of resident services you told him he could have a whole lot to himself to make a garden, if he wanted to

» his face LITERALLY went 🥺 ‘n you almost cried from how sweet he looked

» so now your entire island is just covered in pretty flowers and shrubbery, a whole garden off to the side next to a waterfall and an orchard right beside it

» sometimes he’ll pick whatever flower matches your outfit the best and give it to you so you can put it on your character’s noggin’ HE IS SO CUTE

» you like to remind him how funny it is that he’s suddenly so invested in the game when he could not understand why you liked it so much

» “Well... it’s almost like I’m building another life with you, Y/N. Of course I like it now.”

» then proceeds to hold your cheeks in his hands when you become a blushing, blubbering mess from his words

If you're still taking Drabble requests, maybe a Papython and Pygmy courting each other?

The Lamia Next Door

Moving Day came and went without a hitch, and the full-sized Pygmy bitty zoomed into the new house immediately after his owner unlocked and opened the front door. The evening sun lit each room with soft, warm ambience, and the energetic lamia bitty was ready to explore after sitting still in his car basket for so long.

“Go find yourself a nice sunny window that we can put your basking shelf on,” his owner called after him.

Zipping from living room to bathroom to bedroom, the Pygmy hoisted himself up onto each window sill to check the view. The frosted bathroom window didn’t appeal to him, and the living room window faced the front yard and road… boring! Peering out the bedroom window, the Pygmy didn’t see anything of interest though the sun would shine through nicely in the morning to warm his basking shelf.

The lamia huffed in disappointment as he climbed up onto the kitchen counter to investigate the bay window overlooking the overgrown landscaping in the backyard. He would have plenty of opportunities to play outside while his owner worked to tame the wild brush and spruce up the garden. A decorative brickwork wall separated the Pygmy and his owner’s yard from their neighbor’s, and peeking over that wall was the small skull and shy smile of a full-sized Papython bitty.

The Pygmy waved tentatively and squeaked in excitement when the Papython returned the gesture. The simple act of nonverbally saying hello was the beginning of a strong friendship and eventual romance.

The two lamia bittybones met on top of the little brick wall in the afternoon the next day while the Pygmy’s owner lugged in boxes and unpacked their belongings. When the exhausted human paused to rest, they took a few minutes to watch the two lamia bittybones The Pygmy and the Papython leaned in toward each other, backs to the bay window, while the Papython pointed out objects of interest in his yard.

A few hours later, the owner looked out the bay window again and noticed that the two lamias had their tails entwined. They smiled. Moving had turned out to be a welcome and fortuitous change for them and their beloved Pygmy.

The next morning, the Pygmy and his owner shared a breakfast of blueberry pancakes on their newly unpacked plates. The lamia held up a pancake, soaked with butter and syrup. “Extra pancake pleasssse?” he asked.

“Of course. I didn’t realize that you were so hungry today. I can make more if you want,” the owner replied. A pale blue-green blush crept over the Pygmy’s round cheekbones.

“Issss not for me,” he said, embarrassed. “Issss for friend.”

Oh. The owner tried not to grin too widely. The bay window would be hosting the daily romance show of their darling full-sized Pygmy finding himself a bondmate. They wondered if they should go next door and introduce themselves to the neighbor who owned the Papython. Would it be too soon? Would it embarrass the lamias? Maybe it would be better to wait.

Afternoon sunshine poured into the bay window, and the Pygmy’s owner watched him scale the wall, pancake in tow. The Papython soon crested his side of the wall, carrying a beautifully decorated cupcake. Apparently, the Papython intended to court the Pygmy as well. They exchanged snacks, munching companionably, basking in the warm, golden rays with their tails firmly clasped together.

Sunning on the garden wall became a daily occurrence for the Pygmy and the Papython, supervised from the kitchen window by the Pygmy’s owner. Sometimes the two lamias disappeared over the wall to explore the Papython’s yard. Some days they played in the overgrown landscaping of the Pygmy’s yard, but they always spent the afternoon sharing their lives with each other.

The scrabbling of tiny bone phalanges against cardboard awoke the Pygmy’s owner a few weeks after the big move. Groaning, they rolled out of bed to find the Pygmy digging frantically through the few unpacked boxes that had found their way to the back of the bedroom closet.

“You looking for something specific?” the owner grumbled squinting at the Pygmy with tired eyes as he toppled a box, spilling some sports balls onto the floor.

“Zoomy car,” answered the Pygmy, already bent over into another box, tossing his older toys and blankets left and right. Zoomy car, a toy car that when pulled backwards and released would shoot away in a straight line, had been a favorite of the Pygmy’s as a hatchling.

“I didn’t think you still played with that,” the owner commented, staggering out of bed and over to a bookshelf. They retrieved the little car from the top shelf where it parked among the knickknacks and handed it to the lamia.

“Issss gift,” admitted the flustered Pygmy. His owner just nodded and held the door open for him to slither outside and wait for the Papython to come to the garden. Pouring themselves some cereal, the owner watched the gift exchange. Stage three, they thought. It seems things are going well for those two.

The Pygmy bitty hid the zoomy car behind his back, and when the Papython appeared on top of the brick wall, it seemed he hid a gift behind his back as well. They revealed the items at the same time. The Papython received the treasured Zoomy Car, and the Pygmy was presented with an ornate silk rose that matched the color of his scales beautifully. The Pygmy’s owner nodded in approval from inside the house.

Both lamias disappeared into some untrimmed shrubbery soon after the successful gifting, and the Pygmy’s owner made themselves busy away from the window in case the bitties wanted some privacy. The Pygmy returned home late that night and went straight to bed with a bare minimum of zooming but a contented smile on his adorable face.

The Pygmy’s owner didn’t pry into the relationship at the kitchen table the next morning. Human and bitty shared breakfast as usual before enjoying some laser pointer shenanigans. At the usual time in the early afternoon, the Pygmy went outside into the garden to meet his newly declared bondmate. A few hours later, someone knocked on their door.

A stranger stood on the front steps of their new house, holding up the Pygmy and the Papython, who nuzzled each other affectionately, both faces glowing brightly with blush in complementary colors. This must be the Papython’s owner, thought the Pygmy’s owner, followed by wow they’re kind of cute.

“I should have stopped by sooner,” the Papython’s owner apologized, “but I just found these two enthusiastically evicting my socks out of my dresser drawer and discussing whether it would be a suitable place for a clutch of eggs. I think we may need to sit down and talk this over to make sure we’re all on the same page.” They laughed awkwardly, and the Pygmy’s owner responded with a nervous giggle of their own.

“Why don’t you come inside. I’ll make blueberry pancakes,” offered the Pygmy’s owner. It had worked for their lamia bitty after all.

This Gorgeous Home Is A Nature Loving Bookworm’s Paradise

You know you’re a bookworm when your idea of an outdoor activity is reading a book outside. Casa O in Mexico is the perfect blend of a library and secret garden in the middle of a bustling city. The skillful fusion of nature and city surroundings takes a page out of the most magical book you’ve ever read.

This bookworm paradise has everything that a self respecting bibliophile could ever need. Architecturally designed to make the transition into your imagination all the more exciting, this home designed by Despacho Arquitectos HV is the envy of book lovers everywhere. Be sure to bookmark some of these ideas for your own book nook.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The focus of this design was to integrate nature and man made structure into an other-worldy haven for a keen bookworm.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV One of the main features of the home is the expansive personal library. The bookworm concept has been turned into the main focus, as each area centers around the lifestyle of an avid reader.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The idea of a book nook has been taken to another level in this area. Any person who has ever read a book knows that a comfortable chair is essential. These chairs add a sophisticated aura and look like an ideal place to curl up with a good book. Check out this post to find your very own comfy reading chair.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV What would a bookworm paradise be without a fireplace for those glorious rainy days? This room maintains a stylish look while having a homely feel. This is due to the wall length bookshelves and the coffee table decorated with various ornaments and neatly stacked books. The room is also well lit to avoid any strain on reading eyes.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV Photographer: Paul Czitrom The well stocked bar is perfect for entertaining, or the occasional drink when unwinding with your favorite tome after a long day. The arrangement of the bottles and glasses turns the bar into a different kind of library.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The bedroom looks like the border between the human world and an ethereal natural paradise. The wooden floor contrasts aesthetically with the tiled floor of the balcony and connects the two areas. The outside chair and coffee table create yet another bubble for the bookworm to retreat into.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The kitchen is a modern marvel, with suitable storage and work space. The overhanging shelf decorated with antique containers add a refined quality. The recipe books and large window reminds one of the central design concept without being too obvious.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The stately pillars and high ceiling create an impressive impression, the diverse colors emphasizing the different elements in the space without detracting from the view of the garden being the focus of the room. The white cabinet prevents the room from being monotonous, and a single book connects the space to the rest of the house.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV A clear pond is a calming facet that soothes the mind as one moves into the living room.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The wooden paneling on alternating walls stops the room from looking cold and impersonal.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The hallway is spacious and uncluttered, with the mirror adding dimension. The skylight is an innovative way of allowing natural light to permeate the room, and the colorful painting is a playful accent.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The landing between the first and second floor is an area of it’s own, with a skylight drawing the eyes toward the open window. Tree branches are expertly incorporated into the decor.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV Forget Narnia’s wardrobe and Harry Potter’s Platform 9¾, this staircase looks like a portal into your private mystical realm.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The front of the house is where modern man and mother nature meet. The garden has an untamed look without being overgrown, and a stone path directs you safely to the front door.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The expansive lawn is a design feature in itself. It connects the different species of trees and the whole garden gives off an Edenic atmosphere.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV The rounded seat and fire pit is the ideal summer hosting spot, and the best place to read during those gorgeous spring days. The space looks almost like a secret garden, thanks to the tall surrounding shrubbery.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV Thanks to the towering outer wall, the delightful home is completely private. The creeping ivy is a distinguished element, while the elegant facade only hints at the wonders to be found inside.

Architect: Despacho Arquitectos HV

This trendy home is definitely every bookworm’s dream home. Do check out the the video below:
