(printer friendly version)

I figured AOL would be on the list, but I was surprised that it was listed as # 1.
That's kind of mean. AOL did serve a purpose.
It got new users online.
For a long time, it was the only ISP easily available.
There was a sense of community in the early to mid 90's.
I'll always have a soft spot for AOL.

Challenge Continues

Bedbugs can be extremely tenacious. I can't bear to put a photograph of one here. They're too disgusting for words. I should point out that there are no bedbugs in MY house. Anyway, if you call on ORKIN to do the job, make sure they come back often for rechecks and second and third treatments. Make sure they don't damage your furniture. If they do, point it out to them, get it repaired, and send them the bill.

You might also want to try Diatect stuff. It's at www.diatectresults.com
The active ingredients are Pyrethrins (African Daisy extract), Diatomaceous Earth (silicon dioxide), Piperonyl Butoxide (synthetic sassafras oil). They've got a very informative Website, and they send nice emails to you offering lots of encouragement.

And, put Vaseline on your bed's legs, and a piece of packing tape (sticky side up) underneath each bed leg.

Launder, or dryclean all your clothing, bedding and linens. Another option is to place stuff in sealed bags and put them in the freezer, but they have to be in there for TWO weeks.

That should do it. Remember, this is war. They aren't going to win. Creepy little critters. Worse than spiders.
