Fall is a wonderful season with the beautiful foliage, clear skies, and cooler temperatures. It�s a great time to be outdoors. While, you might be looking for outdoor activities this time of year, bugs are looking for the indoors. During the fall months, insects begin looking for warmer places to spend the night and where they can spend the winter. The place they find may be your home.
Mosquitoes are most active during the cooler daylight hours-in the early morning and in the late evening. While this is inconvenient for morning exercisers and hosts of twilight garden parties, most people can plan picnics, weddings, and other summer outdoor events to avoid the mosquito rush hours. If you have to be outdoors then, you can always�Summer has returned to North America. Flowers are blooming, temperatures are climbing, days are lengthening, and-in most parts of the United States-bugs are breeding. While not all insects are harmful (honeybees, anyone?), many are pests that can bite, ruin plants and crops, or carry disease. For most people, the mosquito is the all-star summer pest: a nighttime bloodsucker that can ruin your camping trip or backyard barbeque. Here are some quick tips for protecting yourself and your family from mosquitoes and their bites.Sometimes your mosquito situation can be so dire that chemical warfare is justified. Backyard foggers and sprays are very effective at killing and repelling mosquitoes. Just make sure you've taken steps to keep them from coming back by breeding. Also, choose your sprays and foggers wisely: the ingredients in some pesticides are downright harmful not only to you and your family, but also to friendly bugs and animals that live in your yard and garden. Your neighbor's cat and the ladybugs that keep your roses free from aphids don't deserve to be collateral damage in your fight to be mosquito-free.A software development kit (SDK) will be available at launch, giving developers the freedom to create interactive games and applications for their Sifteo cubes. Game programmers, interface designers and hobbyist developers can utilize the Sifteo SDK to imagine and build new interactions that bridge physical objects and digital content, and they can soon share their creations online through the Sifteo store. Developers can engage with Sifteo here: https://www.sifteo.com/developersMany insects enter your home by crawling or flying in through cracks in the doors. If you use a screen door during the cooler, fall months, make sure the door fits well and that you don�t have holes in the screen. A door, screen or solid, that has cracks along the sides, bottom, or at the top, not only will let air in, but it also lets in tiny insects. Check along the edges of your doors to make sure the weather stripping is in good shape. If it is old and doesn�t seal your door any longer replace it with new weather stripping. You can buy weather stripping at nearly any hardware or home maintenance store.5.
