Winter is here, which means it's time to make your home as warm and comfortable as possible. One great way to do that is by insulating your attic. Adding or replacing the insulation in your attic can prevent cold air from leaking into your home through your roof. It can also prevent warm air from escaping.
That means your furnace won't have to work as hard to get your home to your desired comfortable temperature.
Are you in the market for a new mattress? If so, then you might be considering the option of upgrading from a traditional innerspring mattress to a memory foam one. A memory foam mattress is designed to conform to the shape of your body, distributing body weight more evenly than an innerspring mattress. Once weight is removed from memory foam, it returns to its original shape. Memory foam mattresses come in a variety of styles and densities, but the health benefits you could enjoy from sleeping on one remain mostly the same regardless.
If you're going away on a warm winter vacation this year, don't forget to check your hotel room for bed bugs. Hotels can harbor bed bugs in the sheets and in other parts of the room as well. Bed bug pest control can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and bed bugs can come home with you in your luggage and on your clothes. The best way to avoid bringing a bed bug home with you from winter vacation is to inspect the room for bed bugs before the fun begins.
Is your apartment infested? Pest control in an apartment can be a great deal more challenging than pest control in a home. You usually cannot control what your neighbors do and unfortunately this also means that you don't have absolute control over your surroundings. What you can do, however, is make sure that your home itself becomes an unfriendly environment for these unsanitary and problematic pests.
