Do you have bed bug problems? Well fret no longer. Wil-Kil announced today that their second canine bed bug killer has arrived. She goes by the name of Daisy who will now join Max, the first known dog bed bug killer to help fight off the bed bug plague.

Wil-Kil has developed a new way to address the bed bug problem/s by using a dog paired with their innovative heat treatment service. The said service has proven to be the most effective solution for detecting and treating bed bugs.

“Bed bugs are a year-round national problem, due primarily to an increase in global travel and difficulty in proper treatment methods. A bed bug canine can save customers time and money because our dogs will detect the bed bugs within minutes, versus hours with the human eye,” said Randy Allen, regional manager of Wil-Kil. “Once the bed bugs are detected by Max or Daisy, one of our Heat Remediation Specialists will treat the bed bugs with our heat treatment process, which can be done within 24 hours.”

Bear Sleeping Bags Could Give you the Creeps

Why are so many people trading their old mattresses for memory foam?  These revolutionary mattresses are not only comfortable, they are effective sleep aids!  In a traditional bed, you may spend half your night tossing and trying to get comfortable; you may wake up with aches and pains; and you may have a love/hate relationship with bedtime.  With a memory foam mattress, however, your body will be cushioned and supported exactly as it should be to ensure that your joints and muscles have the rest they need.  And this lets your mind have the rest it needs.  But not just any memory foam will do.

The BeautyRest Classic Stone Mills Mattress is different from many new memory foam products.  This is the fastest growing segment of the mattress industry, and many companies have rushed to issue their own versions.  Simmons does not rush, nor are they newcomers to memory foam.  Their BeautyRest line has been soothing people to sleep for generations, and the integration of carefully engineered foams has only made these top mattresses even better.  The Classic Stone Mills features 1000 Density Pocketed Coil springs for exceptional support and advanced motion separation, edge-to-edge reinforcement, and four luxurious layers of foam.  A ten year warranty ensures that you will find sweet dreams night after night.  When looking for a foam mattress, don’t settle for less than the best – don’t settle for less than Simmons.

BeautyRest Classic Stone Mills Mattress

The fastest growing segment of the mattress industry is the luxury memory foam mattress.  Why?  Because people are tired (literally) of getting poor quality sleep night after night.  A traditional mattress does not yield to your body’s needs; it treats it just like it treats anyone else.  This means that you don’t get the individualized comfort you want.  Memory foam can do this for you by offering luxurious, contouring, pressure-less sleep.  The difference you will notice after even one night on a high quality mattress will amaze you – and make it impossible to go back to the old traditional version.

At the end of a long day, the last thing you want to do is lie down on an uncomfortable bed and spend eight hours trying to get comfortable.  Your sleep is affected, your mood is affected, and anyone you meet before you’ve had your first cup of coffee in the morning is affected.  There is a better way.  With a top quality memory foam mattress, you can get the sleep you need and the comfort and rejuvenation that your body craves.  Is a decent night’s sleep too much to ask?  Not when you ask one of today’s top manufacturers.

When it comes to mattresses, there are few names more respected than Simmons.  The BeautyRest NxG250 Series Mattress is one of their long line of ultra-comfortable products that have been putting people to sleep for generations.  The NxG250 features 980 Super Pocketed Coil Springs which provide tremendous support for your joints and pressure points.  Supportive memory foam layers keep you surrounded by luxury all night long and allows your body to rest naturally so you don’t wake feeling sore in the morning.  With innovations like Ultra 360 Edge Support to maximize sleeping area and a no-flip design, you will be able to rest easy.  In fact, you may not be able to remember what sleep was like before your Simmons, and that is a very good thing.

Simmons is one of the leading names in the mattress business, and their 10 year manufacturer’s warranty attests to their belief in their products and their commitment to your sleep quality.  If you think a foam mattress will help you sleep easier, you may be right.  If you think Simmons can help, you’re definitely right.

Simmons BeautyRest NxG250 Series Mattress

Do you get your beauty rest?  Or do you spend eight hours tossing and turning, waking up feeling decidedly unbeautiful?  If you are like millions sleeping on an old or traditional discount mattresses, you know that it can keep you from getting the full benefit from your sleep because the design pushes and prods your body into the position it determines, instead of letting your body lie naturally.  It’s time to treat yourself to something different; it’s time to experience a full night’s sleep and wake up feeling refreshed instead of drained.   How can you do this?

The best way to get your beauty rest is on a BeautyRest.  This outstanding line from top manufacturer Simmons will allow you to finally sleep easy.  The BeautyRest Rose Hill is part of Simmons’s World Class series, which ensures you get nothing but the best and most luxurious comfort.  This top quality memory foam mattress features an innovative 1000 Density BeautyRest Super Pocketed Coil Springs, which are individual coils designed to provide support and comfort all night.  You will also find BeautyEdge Total Surround Edge Support, which maximizes sleeping space, high performance foam layers, an ultra-supportive latex foam layer, and the optional Triton foundation with PowerBean for even greater strength and even less transfer of motion.   This is comfort designed from the core to the luxurious pillow top.  How did you sleep before you found BeautyRest?

Simmons is one of the top manufacturers in the mattress industry, and for good reason.  They build quality, exceptional support, and durability into each of their products, ensuring that you get nothing but the best mattress for your needs.

The lightweight waterproof fabric keeps the body tepid and when need arises can be inflated to create a comfortable, sleeping bag. The lower part can even be detached to create a small mattress and comes with multiple pockets for storage. The Sleeping Coat was designed by Lin Tsui-Wei.

Bed Bugs 101 Gives You all the Info Needed Against Bed Bugs

During the early stages of sleep you are still relatively awake when the brain is producing small and fast waves, once it starts to relax these waves become slower and it’s during this time that you are not asleep but may experience strange and vivid sensations known as hypnagogic hallucinations like someone calling your name or a falling sensation. You may also experience a myoclonic jerk, which is when you suddenly become startled for no reason.

Stage 1 – lasting approximately five to 10 minutes, this is a relatively light sleep that is the transition period between being awake and being asleep. The brain produces very slow brain waves and if you are awoken during this stage you’re likely to not remember being asleep.

Stage 2 – for around 20 minutes your brain will produce bursts of rapid brain wave activity where body temperature starts to decrease and the heart rate slows down.

Stage 3 – the period between light sleep and very deep sleep, this is a transitional period where deep and slow brain waves start to emerge.

Stage 4 – lasting for approximately 30 minutes, this stage is known as delta sleep because of the slow brain waves that occur during this period. Bed wetting and sleep walking usually happen at the end of this stage

Stage 5 – known as rapid eye movement (REM) because our eyes move under our eyelids, this is the deepest of sleeps where most dreaming takes place. There is an increased rate of respiration and brain activity, however the voluntary muscles become paralysed.

Our sleep patterns do not progress through these stages in sequence, as we move in and out of light and deep sleep throughout of the night. Sleep begins in stage 1 and moves into stages 2, 3 and 4, we then repeat stage 3 and 2 before we enter REM sleep. Once this last stage is over, your body usually returns to stage 2 sleep and cycles through all stages around four or five times a the night.

On average we go into REM sleep approximately 90 minutes after falling asleep, the first cycle may only last a short amount of time but each becomes longer and can last up to an hour as the night progresses.

So as you drop off to sleep tonight, wrapped up cosy in your bed, you may know what stage of sleep you are at, but try not to think about it too much or you might end up struggling to get to sleep!

Bed bugs are reddish-brown insects that usually hide in mattresses and can breed at a quick rate, they survive by sucking blood, mainly at night. They can also be easily spread to clothes, bags and other furniture.

Although they don’t carry diseases, when bittedn by a bed bug it can cause itchy swelling. You can spot a bed bug on sheets by looking for black dots, which is the faeces of the bug, and also small spots of blood. Regularly changing your sheets can help reduce the risk of bed bugs, but you can also get rid of them completely by buying a hypoallergenic mattress or divan bed.

The hypoallergenic fillings within some of our mattresses and divan beds mean bed bugs cannot survive, and in particular memory foam mattresses and latex foam mattresses reduce the risk of bed bugs because they cannot breathe within the foam and therefore cannot breed.

Bed Bugs on the Rise…Hypoallergenic Mattresses the Way Forward

Bed bugs are more serious than we think. Aside from giving us sleepless nights and potential allergies, the proper way to treat them starts on how you find them. And thanks to the Stern Environment Group, a new device may lead us towards properly monitoring the presence and behavior of these cursed bed bugs through their monitoring device, the NighWatch Bed Bug Monitors.

There are several types of bed bug monitors and the prices range widely from $5 to $1,000. Some of the most interesting new products are NightWatch from BioSensory, CDC 3000 by Cimex Science, soon to be released BB Alert Active from MIDMOS, Climbup Insect Interceptor from Susan McKnight Inc., and the Bug Dome for bed bugs by Silvandersson under the name of Silvatronic.

These bed bug monitors actually have a bed bug blood meal lure, and in some case a CO2 source to imitate a human body presence to actively attract bed bugs. These new bed bug tools are proving to be game changers in early identification of a bed bug problem.

Whether it is by design or something that was created to educate us on how a clock ticks, this Tube Clock Kit should be something to marvel at. This clock was created using a Russian display tube and practically contains all the usual features we see in alarm clocks needed by people today. Among the features that come with it include a volume adjustment, a snooze button, the ability to display date and time as well as being able to choose between a 12h or 24h display.

Apparently there is a catch. The clock generates high voltage current which may not be suitable if you are among the ignorant people who has a thing for tinkering and handling sophisticated pieces of equipment. But then again, for the people who want a challenge or arouse their curiosity, this kit may be ideal. It costs $70 at Lady Ada.

Mosquitoes and insects are the bane of most home owners, especially if they get through your protective screens. Further, there are some of these pests that carry diseases such as malaria and typhoid, further calling for the need for better protection against them.

We have seen mosquito killers and pesticides but both seem to have issues. In the future, you may see these pests getting annihilated in style, similar to how lasers kills adversaries. The idea comes from the Reagan era Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI – also known as Star Wars) concept and miniaturizes it to a level where mosquitoes are neutralized in the same manner that Soviet missiles would have received.

The technology has already been demonstrated by researchers, where they use light from a series of flashlights to illuminate mosquitoes within a fish tank. These mosquitoes’ silhouettes are then projected onto a reflective material located right behind the tank, where a zoom lens will capture the shadows and send the relevant data to a computer.

The computer will then control the laser appropriately while firing it at the bug – non-lethal lasers were used in the demonstration, but the video did show the mosquito burst into flames in a future simulation model when hit by a laser. The laser is also smart enough to tell the difference between male and female mosquitoes, targeting the latter only as they are the ones who feed on our blood while carrying diseases.

Fire extinguishers are normally familiar in offices and commercial areas. But to some condominiums, they are a necessity for tenants. Many would say it is a form of exaggeration, being a requirement to which most condo owners can do without but the fact is that it is for the safety of the tenant overall.

Fires in secluded places are hard to be reached by firemen. With high rise condos, accessibility is put into question. But while that is the case for condos, the location of some homes may suffer the same issues as well.

So rather than risk seeing your house burned down, invest in a fire extinguisher. You may not value it now but at least you are prepared. Place it primarily in the kitchen area or perhaps the hallway for immediate access. That way, you can help fight fires by being ready for it at any time.

Beware of the Toxic Leather Sofas

According to a study from the Oxford Centre for Respiratory Medicine in the UK, those who suffer from even mild sleep apnea are at risk of suffering a heart attack. The study will be published in the first issue for November of the American Thoracic Society’s American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

“It was previously known that people with OSA severe enough to affect their daytime alertness and manifest in other ways are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but this finding suggests that many more people—some of whom may be completely unaware that they even have OSA—are at risk than previously thought,” said lead author of the study, Malcolm Kohler, M.D.
