Annoyed With Pet Smells In You Home?

Selling your home in this current climate can be difficult enough without the added problem of lingering pet or smoke smells! Prospective buyers have more choice than before when it comes to buying a house and just one whiff of a bad smell is enough to help them make their decision.

Taking this into account and from personal experience of selling my home just a couple of months ago I would like to share with you how the Micro-Airoma Air Freshener Starter Pack has helped. This device can be set to spray whenever you wish it to and as many times as you want. I found the mango fragrance was the nicest.

Follow The Bleep!

My black Labrador named Rebel is an extremely fast dog when he wants to be. There has been a couple of times where someone has came to visit me and he has sneaked out of the door and flew past the visitors before they get the chance to grab him. Most of the time he comes back straight away but there’s always the initial state of panic when you think,“where has he gone?” I used to take him down to the park after work and in the summer time it is perfect but in the winter it is quite dark and sometimes because of the colour of his coat I couldn’t see him.

This winter I am going to be organised and won’t panic as much as I have invested in a gadget called the Loc8tor where you can track your pet up to 400 feet away. This gadget won’t stop him bolting but it will allow me to determine where he is and all I need to do is follow the bleep to find him again. When using the Loc8tor at least I know if I am going in the same direction or not.

I’ve used it a couple of times now and it has worked perfectly for me, I’ve started using it on my car too when I park in a large car park as I had a terrible habit of forgetting where I had parked. I think this gadget is a very good safety measure to invest in.

Essential Information For The Flea & Tic Season

This time of year can be a real pain for our pets as it’s the season for fleas and tics. These creatures are more than just an irritation to pets as these parasites can cause skin allergies and other diseases.

Having the knowledge allows us to make informed choices to control the infestation and keep our pets protected.

There are different stages of the flea cycle, listed below:
1. The adult flea attaches itself to your pet
2. They will then lay eggs
3. As your pet moves around the eggs fall off your pets coat whether it be outside or in your home
4. The eggs hatch within 2-10 days and this is what is called the larval stage, the larvae will grow and moult
5. The final stage is known as the pupae stage, this is where the flea spends around 8-9 days growing inside their cocoon and will emerge when the time is right. This is also known as the indestructible stage where it is very difficult to get rid of them.

3 Simple Essential Steps To Take:
1. Protect your pet
2. Protect Your Home
3. Ensure clearance of any infestation by washing bedding and vacuuming regularly

Shocked By Realising The Importance of Bees

Shocked By Realising The Importance of Bees

After watching BBC Four’s ‘Who Killed The Honey Bee’ programme I was shocked to realise how important bees are to us. This programme was full of interesting facts and figures explaining how the UK Government have announced a £10 million initiative to investigate the decline of the worlds bees, butterflies and other insects. I find it amazing how easily everyone can get involved in saving bees, by planting flowers such as Lavender or Rosemary this can help encourage bees to your garden. Another necessity for bees is housing, you can add a Ceramic Bee Nester to your garden and this will give them a safe and dry place to rest. In the past I have always disliked bees because I was fearful of them but now that I actually know the facts and how we can do our bit to help by changing our behaviours I will indeed be doing my bit to save the bees and hope others will to.
