If we held a poll on the most disliked insect, it would probably be a dead tie between the cockroach and the mosquito. While cockroaches are dirty and disgusting, they are not often deadly or dangerous. Sure they can make you ill, but not in the way a mosquito can. Thanks to all the diseases they carry, mosquitoes are one of the most dangerous insects in the world, which is why keeping them out of your home is so important.

Mosquitoes:

The best way to keep mosquitoes out of your home is by ensuring you have sealed up the entire dwelling properly. This means filling in any holes, installing mesh covers on your windows and doors and not leaving any doors or windows open for prolonged times. Also, it makes sense to make sure that you do not have any stagnating water around your home as this is the perfect breeding ground.

Once you have sealed up your house and got rid of any stagnating water, you need to buy some good repellent, one that you feel comfortable using on a regular basis. You can even spray this on any major portals, such as your front door, adding an extra layer of protection.

The key is vigilance. Always be wary of the mosquito.

Spiders:

In Australia we have a number of different insects that we need to worry about, from the dreaded termite to the nasty fire ant. However, the most concerning of all for most of us is the spider. While the others can damage you financially and physically, the spider can kill and seriously maim, which is why it is important to make your home spider proof.

First up, the most obvious thing is that you need to seal your house up. Scan the perimeter and check for any holes or gaps. Seal them all up as this is the easiest way for a spider to gain entry. You need to be thorough. Get a ladder out and look all over.

Once you have done this, you need to buy screens that you can put over your doors and windows. These screens will keep them out even if you have your door or window open. The key is to never leave your guard down, to be able to have a door or window open without risking letting spiders in.

Finally, you need to make sure that you do not allow other bugs in, as generally speaking, this is what the spider is looking for, so by keeping its food out, you will keep them out of your home.

The cold winter months are fast approaching, if it hasn’t arrived already. Winter is the season for fun, family, the holidays, and cold weather. If you live in an area that has snow and ice, here are a few tips for caring for your pet during the cold winter months.

First, protection for you pet’s precious paws is essential. The cold and hard ground, particularly when snow or ice is present can cause your pet’s paws to become sore and cracked; sometimes, it can even cause their paws to bleed. There are several things you can do to help protect your pet’s paws. Oftentimes, the best option is to purchase puppy boots. These boots are made of water-resistant fabric on the exterior, and they usually have warm material such as fleece or flannel lining on the inside. They usually sport elastic cuffs around the top and Velcro underneath to ensure they stay on.

If your pet does not take to wearing booties, there is another option: grooming your pet’s paws. When it is particularly snowy outside, the ice and snow can easily cling to the hair between your pet’s paws and on their paw pads and ‘ankles’. Simply trim the hair to keep it short, this way they snow and ice will have nothing to hold on to. Also, keep your pet’s toenails trimmed short (but not too short). This can help prevent your pup’s paws from soreness. Finally, gently rub petroleum jelly on your puppy’s paw pads before and after they go outside. Doing this protects their paws from cracking and bleeding by providing a film of protective gel over the paws.

Winter nights are cold, especially if you like to keep your house somewhat cool, even in the winter season. Secondly, to help your pup remain warm and comfy at night, there are a few things you may want to consider. If your pet does not have a doggie bed, you may want to get one for your pooch this holiday season. Doggie beds are built so your pet can snuggle warmly at night in their soft fabric bed. You can also buy your pet a throw or a fleece blanket. When you put your dog to bed at night, simply toss the blanket or throw over their body, and it will help keep them warm.

Another option to purchase puppy pajamas. It may sound silly, but flannel pajamas for dog’s can really help keep them insulated and warm. Also, if your dog tends to shed, this is a great option, because it contains the shed hair within the garment until you wash it. This is great because then you won’t have pet hair all over your couch, on your bed, or other warm places in your house that you don’t want covered in pet hair.

Help keep your pet warm and protected from the winter elements this holiday season. Consider purchasing winter wear such as water-resistant booties, puppy pajamas, or even a coat or jacket. A doggie bed and pet throw or blanket can also go a long way. Remember, investing in your pet’s comfort is investing in your pet’s happiness. It is well worth the cost!
