TOMS RIVER As summer holidays hit, and the coronavirus regulations are eased, the Toms River Bureau of Fire Prevention is urging everyone to have a safe summer by issuing easy-to-follow tips.

The first topic they wanted to tackle is fireworks. The message is easy: Leave it to the professionals!

State law allows the sale and use of non-aerial fireworks such as hand-held sparklers, smoke devices, and ground-based sparklers. However, even these can be dangerous. The temperature of a small sparkler after ignition is nearly 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, they said.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 200 people go the emergency room every day with fireworks-related injuries in the month around the July 4th holiday. A third of those who are injured are younger than 15.

The following are tips on using fireworks safely:

State law prohibits the sale and use of any aerial explosives such as bottle rockets, firecrackers and Roman candles.

Grilling Safety

Barbecues are back on the menu, especially since outdoor gatherings are safer these days.

Here are some tips to keep yourself safe:

Water Activity Safety

While were talking safety, this is the time of year for boatingand boating accidents.

Here are some tips for safety near the water:

A couple just bought this $385,000 Haliburton cottage. Why? The pandemic delayed their wedding

Address: 1152 Spring Valley RdTownship: Minden HillsAgent: Susanne Worona, Blue Cat Realty Inc.Previously sold for: $86,000, in 2014, prior to renovations

A 1,200-square-foot cottage near Haliburton. The two-bed, one-bath bungalow has a recently renovated interior and 100 feet of fishable riverfront.

Caylen Patience, a 34-year-old project manager at Clinton Design; Matt Calvin, a 34-year-old insurance broker at PROLINK:

In 2014, an outdoorsman who builds log homes and runs adventure tours in Northern Ontario bought the property for $86,000. The place was rundown, old-fashioned and in need of an upgrade. So he added a new septic system, installed a fireplace for winter and overhauled the interior. The sellers sister, a Muskoka-based interior designer, suggested he put in pine ceilings and white beadboard walls to give the space a beachy, Cape Cod vibe. In the fall of 2019, he hired an agent and listed the cottage for $399,000, but they were unable to drum up any offers. They took it off the market in January 2020, then built a stone walkway and a new dock once the snow melted, hoping to make it more appealing for buyers.

In early 2020, Matt and Caylen, who own a condo in Regent Park, were preparing for their summer wedding in cottage country. They had a 100-person celebration slated for mid-July, at the Northridge Inn in Sundridge. After two years of saving, they had banked $38,000 to pay for the weekend festivities, which included a welcome bonfire and a brunch for guests. They had already spent $3,000 on save-the-date cards and wedding invitations, with plans to start shopping for suits and rings, when Covid-19 swept across the province.

On March 16, the province prohibited gatherings of more than 50. At the time, Matt and Caylen thought a mid-July wedding for 100 people might still be possible. But as the lockdown tightened, it became clear their wedding would be compromised. Before they officially cancelled the nuptials, Matt suggested they re-invest the money earmarked for the wedding into a cottage. They had discussed getting a cottage to escape the city on weekends as part of their five-year post-wedding plan, and the uncertainty surrounding their wedding gave them a chance to expedite the timeline. But the pandemic had unsteadied the real estate market. They werent sure if the market would crash, or if their jobs were secure enough to see them through the pandemic, which still has no end in sight. It was also unclear whether non-residents were even welcome in cottage country.

In May, despite their doubts, Matt and Caylen decided to start looking at cottages, assuming the wedding would get cancelled. They set a budget of around $400,000 and scanned a range of properties online, from Muskoka to Kawartha Lakes. When they found the listing for the bungalow, they liked the recently renovated interior, particularly the exposed beams in the living room. So, they decided to drive up and check it out. The couple wore masks and gloves while they looked at the place.

Matt grew up cottaging on a lake near Parry Sound, so he was initially hesitant about buying a riverfront property, because it didnt jibe with the typical cottage lifestyle of speedboats and water sports. But boating is permitted on the river, which connects to Gull and Minden Lake. It also cuts through the town of Minden, making it possible to boat into town to get groceries. They took 24 hours to think about it and submitted an offer for $375,000, conditional on a home inspection and financing. The seller countered with $385,000 and they agreed.

Matt and Caylen initially planned to spend weekdays working from home at the property, but have since decided they want to preserve it as a weekend retreat. Eventually, theyd like to buy an aluminum boat with a small motor, to shuttle in and out of town. And they still plan to get married, maybe next year, but might have to scale down the celebration.

Heres the new granite patio. Thats the buyers six-year-old shorkie (shih tzu yorkie mix) named Gus:

The seller painted the original cedar siding grey and built the pressure-treated wood deck, which is about 13 feet by 30 feet:

The deck overlooks the river:

There are laminate floors and white-washed pine ceilings throughout the cottage:

The seller hired contractors to install the propane fireplace. He built the surrounding pine mantel to match the ceilings:

Heres a better look at the the 11-foot ceilings in the open-concept living area:

There are quartz-style laminate counters and pine cabinets in the kitchen:

The kitchen connects to a sunroom, where the buyers plan to add a patio set and propane heater for winter:

Theres beadboard wall panelling throughout:

Heres the master bedroom, which has sliding glass doors that lead to a second deck:

This is the guest room, where the buyers added a desk:

The seller installed a new shower in the bathroom:

After listing the property, the seller added the dock, which is built on metal stands above the water. That way, it doesnt need to be removed in winter when the river freezes.

The seller added new sand to the beach area next to the dock, in order to smoothen out the path. It could function as a boat ramp, too:

A big thank you to first respondersWe are so blessed to live in this community! I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks to the law officers and the firemen of our county, some who helped us some time ago and some who helped us recently.

Some time ago, when we were out of town, a man decided he would camp on our property. We called the Albany County Detention Center to report it. They advised us not to go over there. An officer came to investigate and took him to the center. The man had fashioned a sort of tent out of black plastic. And he had cut 79 branches off our Colorado Blue Spruce Trees (which we had planted when they were 5-7 inches tall). He hung metal cans all around his tent, apparently so he could hear if anyone approached. The inside of the tent was a real mess. We were not in a position (I was in a wheelchair) to clean things up. Subsequently, a law officer came with plastic bags and had the man clean up. This kind officer got the man a ticket and put him on a bus so he could go to a destination he wanted.

And our wonderful firemen! Heartfelt thanks go to them, also! They were/are so vital in our lives! Our 911 calls were answered in minutes! At a crucial time in my life, they came. The law officer remained with me until he knew I was alright. I believe we owe all these wonderful people a debt of gratitude for their service to all the people of Albany County.

LPD acted inappropriately in arresting protestersTo the Editor:

I am writing to express my extreme displeasure with the recent strong-arm tactics committed by the Laramie Police Department against peaceful protesters.

First and foremost, the police force was mask-free, and some were not wearing gloves. Yet they were literally in the face of protesters as they grabbed arms and made arrests. No law enforcement officer has a right to potentially expose anyone to COVID-19 or any other disease. The police department must set a good example for the rest of the community and cover their faces any time they interact with the public. Its the only way were going to get a handle on this pandemic.

Furthermore, any short-term inconvenience to people in Laramie driving Grand Avenue is nothing compared to the 400+ years of genocide and racism against non-white people in our nation. We can give these peaceful demonstrators more than a little leeway in expressing their desire to change abusive police forces into the public safety forces they need to become in these times.

Downtown regs would have negative impact on downtownDear Editor:

Many thanks to the Boomerangs Daniel Bendtsen for reporting on the proposed zoning changes ones that could seriously impact downtown Laramie which were forwarded to council by the Planning and Zoning Commission this week. Had he not done so, downtown residents, businesses and property owners might not have been informed before it was too late to oppose them.

These changes would have severe negative impacts on downtown. They would make the faades of a substantial percentage of downtown buildings nonconforming, meaning theyd have to undergo needless, costly changes if a new business moved in. They would prohibit, among other things, walls that were suitable for murals, such as the one on the 100 block of Grand. They would force buildings and storefronts to be drab, making our downtown look rundown and uninteresting.

They would not only fail to require adequate parking in an area with a critical parking shortage but actually outlaw it. Theyd allow developers to scrape off existing structures to build incongruous skyscrapers taller than any existing building depriving neighbors of sunlight, leaving solar collectors in shadow, and blocking line-of-sight wireless Internet connections.

They would even micromanage buildings percentage of window space, hobbling many uses. All this during the COVID-19 pandemic, when businesses can ill afford to be burdened with new regulations.

The process by which the changes were adopted is also suspect. They were tabled earlier this year, then stealthily resurrected in a manner reminiscent of the opening chapter of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy at a meeting where the Chairman was absent. No affected member of the public was sent a notice warning that this was happening.

The fact that this proposal has come this far flying beneath the radar without proper public notice or input demonstrates that Laramies city government must be more open and transparent.

Fortunately, in this case, there is still time to set things right.

All those who support a vibrant, prosperous downtown should show up at the July 7 meeting of the Laramie City Council to oppose these harmful changes to downtown zoning.

County should be careful in considering wind energy developmentLike all counties in Wyoming, Albany County has a comprehensive plan which guides policymakers where growth and various land uses should take place, consistent with the vision and values defined with extensive input from the public and stakeholders. The overarching theme that emerged from this process is that county residents want to keep the county rural, conserving its traditions and character, supporting agriculture, wildlife, habitat, and scenic vistas.

The plan mentions over and over the importance of assuring agricultural and rural identities remain intact by preserving and protecting open landscapes. It declares Albany Countys natural beauty and landscape are its prized assets and claims its rich physical landscapes with their visual amenities and natural resources as highly valued by both residents and visitors. It acknowledges degradation of these resources as a leading negative consequence of development, potentially dissuading the location of new businesses. It recognizes the increasingly rare and unique amenity of dark night skies and the importance of preserving the countys cultural resources. The countys observatories and recognized cultural resources are located in the southern part of the county, along with 80% to 90% of the countys rural population. It mentions the threat to existing scenic vistas on highway corridors, particularly mentioning those front door corridors in southern Albany County as being encroached.

The plan also specifically acknowledges the challenges to growth in the southern part of the county, and the need to pay particular attention to development there. Indeed, it is different from the north half where three industrial wind farms will occupy over 100,000 acres, on single ranches as large as 55,000 acres.

The introduction to the plan presents the huge challenge for policymakers in assuring development is in accordance with the wishes of its residents when it states, each persons decision on how to use their property potentially affects the properties and quality of life of others, and sometimes many others..thus the pattern of development you approve influences quality of life, health, safety and welfare, and cost to the public in the present and in the future. Please guide us prudently during deliberations on wind siting.

Commissioners should reject wind development in countyThe city and county commissioners are enamored by the proposed wind turbine project. We could solve all of these wind turbine issues by building the turbines in the city and/or within a two-mile range. We can put them along the river walk trail, in city parks, university property, Ninth Street, etc. Its a win for everyone.

I just read in the editorial the other day, people in the city dont expect to have a view and are happy without one and that wind turbines are benign. Locating these turbines in the city and surrounding area will save the 287 corridor from carnage; the wind turbines will no longer intrude and harm our local ecosystem. Being within arms reach of the city limits would go a long way to save insects, birds and animals the turbines cause harm and death . If I kill an eagle, I get a big fine along with other severe consequences, wind turbine can kill eagles all day long (our national symbol) and nothing happens to them. Its so bad that the government had to give wind turbines special exemptions on environmental laws. Altamont Pass Ca. turbine killed 2,900 golden eagles. BUT- before you erect these monsters, be aware that these wind turbines create more of a carbon foot print then existing energy sources, much more. Wind turbines create more carbon dioxide emissions in their manufacture, installation and operational life, than their operational life can ever recover.

These hideous land tumors will create at a minimum 242 tons of CO2 each. Ask yourself, what am I getting out of this? Absolutely nothing! The county is sniveling about not having enough money. Welcome to the real world. Do what the rest of us do. Learn to manage your money better. The good news is that its election time and we can vote in people that care about community and our ecosystem more than lining their own pockets. The commissioners are by law supposed to be unbiased. Clearly, they are not.

People of hospice express gratitudeWe would like to take this opportunity to recognize the generosity and resilience of this Laramie Community. Hospice of Laramie recently hosted the Annual Community Memorial Service for those whose loved ones passed away over the course of the past year. It is Hospice of Laramies intention to support and nurture those in mourning through the grief process. This memorial service and the generosity expressed toward it, serve as a foundation of hope, meaning, and community.

This service would not have been possible without the generosity of Killian Florist, Altitude Chophouse and Brewery, Caleb and Adam from Whitewater Christian Church and the many volunteers that gave their time to this important event.

We are very grateful for the depth of support from this beautiful community as we strive to serve it.

Thank you,

Wearing a mask is the right thing to doThis is the Cowboy State. The cowboy could be recognized by his boots, chaps, hat and bandanna. None of these were fashion statements--they were all functional. He wore the bandanna to keep from breathing in trail dust.

A lot of people dont believe in wearing functional protective gear these days. No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service is fine but they go ballistic if asked to wear a facial mask to slow the spread of coronavirus--to protect their own health, that of others.

This is a public health issue. We are all in this together, and working together will get us out of this quicker than the current chaotic response. If our water was contaminated, wed boil it. If there were a large fire, wed wear masks to protect our breathing. Why is this different? The only difference is that Trump has politicized it--to him, wearing a mask means someone is not loyal to him, not that they are taking the response recommended by medical and public health experts. Face it, to Trump, everything is about him, not the good of the American people. Nero had his fiddle; Trump has his golf clubs.

Some people dont want to believe the science or common sense in this situation. They believe in science when it gives them goodies like electricity, indoor plumbing, vehicles, devices, etc. but not when it comes to protecting health. Id bet you dollars to donuts theyll become believers if they contract the virus and are sucking for air; theyll want those scientifically developed ventilators and medical treatments in a heartbeat. Theyll lose that defiant bravo.

Start using common sense. Believe science. Do your part to stop this disease as soon as possible. Cowboy up and wear your bandanna or mask and do social distancing.

Senate candidate responds to letterWyoming faces a potential $2.8 billion budget deficit fueled by the COVID-19 crisis and significant revenue shortfall from oil and gas royalties on public lands. As your state senator for District 10, let me be clear: I will not cut education spending and will not raise taxes in Wyoming because its not possible to tax the state out of debt. Wyomingites need legislators that are not looking to that the position, volunteer for a budget cutting committee and be served lunch in the process because this is nothing more than adult daycare.

Wyoming needs a candidate with two decades of experience working in the global private sector for a $416 billion technology company that all Wyomingites use and is known as a Visa card. I retired from Visa at age 50, received my pension and their investment in over $3 million in global business training. There are companies out there in our nation that cannot currently run at their full potential because of the unrest in the location of their company headquarters and need to be offered a solution to move here.

Fifteen minutes after I take the oath of office as your state senator, I will be on a plan to Seattle to speak to the CEOs in person with delegates from the Laramie hotel and real estate segments. I will offer CEOs of Seattle-based companies a way forward to join the Wyoming economy.

My goal as your senator is to bring new jobs to all segments of the Wyoming economy. In closing, I would just like to respond to Mr. Buchanan and my opponents by saying that you all forgot Cowboy Code principle no. 1: Live each day with courage.

Its time for Albany County to update wind energy regsSeveral letters to this paper regarding industrial wind regulations recently have mentioned that no one is entitled to preserve the view at anothers expense. This is generally true (some states require wind farms to avoid despoiling the view, using setbacks and other tools). Since the view is a way of expressing how beautiful a community is, the view is something we all should have an interest in protecting.

But although the degradation of the view is a problem it is not the issue here. Not at present, anyway. What is at issue is that Albany County should adopt regulations appropriate to protect residents against the impact of a modern industrial wind facility that may be placed in their neighborhoods. Wind technology has changed a great deal in the more than 10 years since Albany Countys regulations were written, and a great deal more is known about the damage these facilities do to those unfortunate enough to live near them. It is important to remember that developers are not the only people with property rights that need protecting.

Regulations (zoning) are used to separate uses that are incompatible. Zoning also is used to prevent new development from interfering with existing uses and/or to preserve the character of a community. Albany Countys outdated wind zoning needs to reflect these goals.

Its not hard to be taken in by inflated promises of free money, jobs, and future tax revenues, so its important to be aware of the problems brought on by modern industrial wind developments before decisions are made about where and how they should be sited. A brief Internet search will acquaint you with these problems and the various remedies that other places have used to deal with them. Albany Countys zoning is in sore need of an update if the homeowners and businesses in the county are to be protected from the many known adverse impacts resulting from these developments.

Sincerely,

Mary F. Moore

Quick shout out

to all the great

tenants in LaramieA few days ago I found myself in a tight spot. Forget the uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 disruption. Forget some of the tenants leasing my properties fell ill but were not sick enough nor old enough to get a test. Forget their job losses and the subsequent drop in revenue for my family.

Do mind this: in November (2019) a young man approached me about leasing a property this summer. He reached out, was proactive, a true gentleman. I dont know much about him personally, but his actions speak louder than words. If you are a landlord in Laramie you no doubt appreciate a situation like this: tenant approaches you with time to build a rapport helping coordinate the smooth exit of an existing tenant (whom also possesses the same integrity as this young man who approached me last November).

Fast forward to now.

I had to tell the young gentleman who reached out early that we had to cancel his take over of the lease because the current resident is stuck with nowhere else to go. Incidentally that tenant is slated to join the Marine Corps, but even the Marines arent moving too fast in this COVID-19 Disruption.

And you know what? The young gentleman accepted my decision to cancel our plans with utmost respect and understanding-even though he was getting the short end of the stick, and believe you me, I am working with this young gentleman to find a good spot in the great Laramie community.

So, thank you. Thank you to all the great tenants in Laramie (especially all you students out there bettering yourself through education so you may better the world). #GOWYO!

Kudos to council for work on policingEditor:

I write to applaud the thoughtful commitment of the Laramie City Council as they grapple with the community policing issues highlighted by recent events in Minneapolis and too many other cities across the country.

Yes, we must demand a better response to our concerns than, Thank you very much for your comments; well get back to you in 50 years. And that takes sustained pressure.

At the same time, What?, Weve been protesting for three weeks now and you still havent rolled back 400 years of systemic racism! is a pretty tall order.

We can all see that policing should be more about community service than a show of brute force. Where improvement is necessary, let us identify and vigorously pursue opportunities for better police recruitment, training and accountability (and find the money to make that happen).

Citizens of Laramie should appreciate that this is as progressive a council as weve had in decades. The opportunity for constructive engagement has rarely been better. Let us cultivate that opportunity rather than venting our indignation.

And as we celebrate the birth of our country this Fourth of July, let us embrace the political activism that got us here. Thank goodness the Founders recognized that protest is patriotic. We honor their legacy by holding ourselves and our representatives to high standards.

Strive on,

Over steaming cups of coffee, hot tea and smoothies, staff in Dukes Global Education Office chat about everything from pets to tasty recipes during specially scheduled videoconference calls.

The casual conversations are part their Virtual Coffee Breaks when they hop online for impromptu chats that occurred in person.

I used to walk to a nearby office or our break area when I had exciting news to share or wanted to talk to someone, said Catherine Angst, director of communications for the Global Education Office. Ive been missing that since the pandemic started. Creating a space for the casual office conversation has made working from home a little less isolating,

With many Duke employees working remotely to limit the spread of COVID-19, colleagues in schools, departments and units are recreating in-person interactions in the virtual world. Whether a house tour or question prompt before a meeting, employees are using videoconferencing to stay close while apart.

What were missing right now is the conversations that arise naturally from working in the same office, said Don Shortslef, senior practitioner with Learning & Organization Development, a division of Duke Human Resources. Those casual conversations build trust and boost morale.

See how some offices keep things personal while working remotely.

The Duke Alumni office had its own HGTV special when Jo Supernaw gave about 10 colleagues a specially arranged virtual tour of her home in May.

The idea sprang up during an online staff meeting when her coworkers were able to see the living space in Supernaws 1937 home in the Lakewood-Tuscaloosa neighborhood in Durham, where she has lived for seven years. Supernaws colleagues mentioned how nice it was to see parts of her home other than a backdrop of a blank wall, so she offered to take them on a virtual tour a few days later.

Supernaw held her laptop as she showed a vibrant red front door, wooden floating cabinets in the kitchen, a sunroom in the back of the house and an arched doorway connecting the living and dining rooms.

The biggest reaction from Supernaws colleagues came when she took them into her stone and brick-lined basement. She said that space surprised them because homes as old as hers typically dont include basements.

Homes are such a great way to learn about someones interest and personality, said Supernaw, director of academic engagement for lifelong learning with Duke Alumni. Hopefully, you see my space and get a better understanding of who I am.

In addition to the home tour, the team in the Alumni office has done a show and tell of their dogs and special objects such as music boxes and books and sent each other U.S. mail to show gratitude for one another.

Natalie Nobles, who brought her dogs Harvey and Amos to a show-and-tell, said the experience was a chance to recreate the camaraderie with coworkers she has missed.

Usually, were all laughing and joking with one another in the office, said Nobles, assistant director of design and creative strategy. Its great that weve found a way to do that while working remotely. You start to feel so comfortable with everyone.

Ryan Craig, executive director of digital strategy for Duke Athletics, begins and ends weekly team meetings on a light note.

With the Digital Media unit, the group that operates social media accounts for Duke Athletics, Craig asks team members a random question of the day. The topics have ranged from a dream music festival line-up to a go-to Chipotle order.

Craig said he started the question prompt after noticing team members who cant chat over each others cubicle or enjoy an impromptu lunch launch right into business during a virtual meeting.

Having fun and collaborating only helps our creativity, said Craig, executive director of digital strategy for Duke Athletics. It makes us better at our jobs to laugh and talk casually together.

Before ending the meeting, Craig always turns the meeting over to a colleague to end the meeting with a humorous monologue such as pet peeves.

My team is full of personalities, Craig said. The Pet Peeve of the Day always makes us laugh. We leave the meeting in good spirits.

While pondering an ice breaker for a weekly meeting with new undergraduate student communicators across Duke, Nicole Ponticorvo got inspiration from an unlikely source: her stuffed panda Penny P.

She grabbed Penny, which she bought in February while visiting the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington D.C, and put the toy in a visible spot during the teleconference. Ponticorvo asked the 10 colleagues in the meeting to name a favorite stuffed animal or toy from childhood.

Through giggles and grins, the employees mentioned bunnies, a rocking horse and Power Rangers action figures.

That was a really fun conversation, said Ponticorvo, assistant director of New Student Programs. We were all laughing. It really loosened us up before we got to business.

Ponticorvo now starts every new student communicators meeting with an ice breaker such as a new habit since the pandemic.

Its important to me for us to make time to connect on a personal level now that were communicating through Zoom, she said. It makes the work we do much more enjoyable and meaningful.

Help share the proactive and extensive work being done by all Duke community members during the COVID-19 outbreak. Send ideas, shout-outs and photographshereor writeworking@duke.edu.

Pest Control Market to See Major Growth by 2025 | Terminix, Rollins, Rentokil Initial, Anticimex - Morning Tick

Somehow, last week, I skipped one of the biting insects that bothers me the most. This insect doesnt bite me, but it bites my 17-and-a-half-year-old pound hound, OlBoy. To see him biting at himself chasing a flea, especially in the middle of the night, saddens me. The sad facts of the situation are that if you have ever seen an old dog's dental work, the chance of him lining up two teeth to catch a flea are very unlikely! Poor OlBoy!

Fleas have been particularly bad this year. I have been asked a lot about them in the store (Possums) and when I have been out and about. Fleas are hard to control because they have a wide range of hosts and their life cycles are designed for survival. Although there are 2,400 different species of fleas, the one we are most concerned with is the cat flea. This week Im going to write about the biology of the cat flea and next week focus more on the control.

The flea that primarily attacks the dog is called the cat flea. This flea attacks dogs, cats, and several other wild hosts including rodents, rabbits, squirrels, skunks and yes, the opossum! They will also attack humans as well. As you treat your yard, your dog, and your house, you need to realize that these other animals can re-infest your yard.

A flea can go from the egg stage to the adult stage in anywhere from a few weeks to several months (even over 1 year). This life cycle helps ensure their survival. The flea will wait in the pupae stage, and emerge as an adult when the conditions are favorable for the survival of the adult. Adult biting fleas only account for about 2% of the population, the rest are in the egg, larva and pupae stage.

The flea lays eggs on its host. These eggs are not attached to the host so they are constantly falling off. When a dog gets up from a nap and shakes, the dog is shaking the eggs off of his body. The egg then becomes a larva.

The larva can live on the dog or larva also live under grass, soil, mulch or other organic matter. Larva are very susceptible to heat and desiccation so they usually stay in shady, moist areas of the yard. Treating your flower beds is very important. You may see the adults out in the middle of your yard; however, they are coming from your mulch beds where it is shady and moist.

After the larva stage, the flea develops into a pupa. This pupae stage is what makes the flea so hard to control. The pupa is made out of a silk-like cocoon that protects the flea. This cocoon is very sticky when first developed and dust and other debris stick to it making it very hard to detect. If someone moves out of an apartment that had a dog with fleas, the apartment could be closed for months. When the new tenants open the door and walk in, the adult flea will emerge from the pupae stage and begin biting the person who has entered. These pupae respond to vibration, so it is good to vacuum when trying to control fleas. Vacuuming removes fleas and the vibration from the vacuuming brings the flea out of the pupae stage and into the adult stage that is susceptible to control products.

All of these factors make the flea very hard to control. When using control products there are several different products to use. Some products are used inside, some outside and some on the animal. A pest management professional is always a good option when dealing with fleas.

Next week I will write about several different control products. In the meantime, apply Prefurred One, Petcor or Prefurred Plus to your animal, use Alpine Flea and Bed Bug, Ultracide, Precor 2625 or Precor 2000 inside the house, spread Bug Blaster or spray EcoVia EC (Organic Program) in the yard and spray the yard with Nyguard (Growth Regulator). There are other products that work. Just be sure to apply to the animal, the inside of the house and the outside of the house and that you use growth regulators.

Since it takes about two weeks to control fleas, it will also take me two weeks to write about controlling fleas!

Im also proud to report that OlBoy is flea-free once again, and we are both sleeping better at night!

Always read, understand and follow product label. The product label is a Federal Law.

Bill Lamson-Scribner can be reached during the week at Possums Landscape and Pest Control Supply.

Global Biological Pest Control Market Expected To Reach Highest CAGR By 2025: BASF, Anatis Bioprotection, InVivo, Koppert, Biobest Group, Dudutech...

Beyond the obvious global pandemic, 2020 has been a wild year that has made us feel like we're on the brink of apocalypse several times.

First an ominous green glow appeared around Mars. Then we were invaded by 'murder hornets'. Now starving rats are flocking to our homes in hopes of finding crumbs of food.

The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) has reported a 51 per cent increase in 'rat activity' during lockdown and an unusually high number of home call outs.

This is possibly because there are currently fewer functioning eateries in towns and cities, whose bins rats would once have salvaged a meal from.

Hungry rats have therefore been forced to travel further afield in search of food.

Field biologist David Greer told the BBC that he noticed a sixty percent increase in calls to his pest control company within weeks of lockdown.

He also commented that during one job he saw a rat "so big" he "thought it was a beaver".

The average size of a beaver is more than four times the size of the average rat in the UK (23 cm), meaning there are some abnormally large rats out there.

Rats are also becoming more audacious in their desperation.

BPCA's Natalie Bungay told the BBC:

[Rats have] become bolder, braver and more innovative in finding food and shelter in the shutdown.

Rats are even able to climb up drainpipes and into toilet bowls.

Sounds like the absolute string of nightmares 2020 had in store for us are far from over.
