The Easy Sealing Mouse Trap: Why Snap When You Can Seal? Snap! If you have a mouse problem in your home and you’ve set an old-fashioned mouse trap that kills by means of a snapping bar, that’s a sound you’re probably familiar with. But when you go to investigate, do you cringe at the thought of the mess that aaits you? Or maybe it was just a false alarm and the trap activated by accident, catching nothing but thin air? Even worse, what if the sound is immediately followed by something terrible—the sound of a screaming child whose little fingers are caught in the trap’s painful grip? While this type of old-fashioned device is an easy mouse trap, easy doesn’t always mean effective or safe.

Mosquitos and Dengue Fever – Guest Post From Mosquito Magnet
Dengue fever symptoms and treatment: Mosquito-borne illnesses are well-known to all. West Nile virus has caused several deaths in the United States, and malaria is a familiar, frightening word for its deadly nature in jungle climates. Dengue fever, however, infects approximately 50 million aults each year in the tropics, and while it is estimated that Dengue is lethal in less than 1 percent of its victims, it can incapacitate its victims for weeks with pain, discomfort and nausea. There is, also, no specific treatment or vaccine for Dengue fever. It is carried by only four species of mosquito. The good news is a patient, once infected with a specific strain of Dengue fever, becomes immune to that strain for life. The bad news is that he remains susceptible to the other three, and a bout with a second strain of Dengue tends to be worse than the first.
