The Easiest Way To Get Rid Of Mosquitoes. This Simple Trick Will Save You This Year!
For people (and animals!) who live in areas where they are active, mosquitoes can become almost unbearable. But only the female mosquitoes bite – they are what are called ectoparasites, which means they are parasites that live on the outside of their host. They use their exposed, elongated mouth part, called a proboscis, to suck the blood from a host like a syringe.
The loss of blood is minuscule and has little effect on the host, but the saliva of the mosquito irritates the skin and can leave the bitten area itching for days. Worse yet, mosquitoes act as vectors for disease, meaning they pick up the disease from one host and carry it to the next. The most common and dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses include malaria, yellow fever and west nile virus.
Mosquitoes go through various stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa and adult. It takes approximately 40 days for the insect to go from egg to adult. Once they reach the adult stage, the males live about 5-7 days, while the females can live for 1-2 weeks.
During their adult life, the females seek a host in order to get that sweet, tasty blood. Once they have achieved their goal, it takes them a day or two for digestion and growth of eggs, which they lay in stagnant water. They then seek another host and repeat.
Now that you know more than you ever wanted to know about mosquitoes, watch the video to find out how to trap them in order to avoid the negative impact their day to day lives have on ours! How well did the trap work for you? Any hints or modifications that you found were especially helpful? Tell us in the comments.

A little while back animal lovers across the internet were moved by a sweet photo that went viral. The picture was from Serbia and depicted a german shepherd lying at a grave. Many thought it looked like the dog was grieving for his deceased master. However, something about the photo was not quite how it appeared.
Science has confirmed that dogs can actually feel love for you as they have the intellect equivalent similar to a two-year-old. Since dogs can love, is it possible that the dog was truly mourning? Possibly. There are certainly examples of dogs doing the same thing in history. One animal rescuer was not fully convinced.
Vesna Mihaljoski investigated the grave. Upon arriving, she confirmed that the dog was still at the grave. She looked closer. First, she noticed that the dog was actually in a hole that it had dug beneath the grave. Second, she was actually cuddling a litter of puppies.
The real reason that the dog refused to leave the grave was now clear. She had dug a den to protect her puppies. Luckily, Mihaljoski decided to adopt the mother and her pups. It turns out that the dog wasn’t mourning at all. With that discovery, the story turned from a tragic one into a happy one!

She Uncovers An Ancient Relic On Her Lawn. But She Picks It Up and Realizes It’s Moving!

You never know what you might find when you go digging for buried treasure. Some people have made some truly amazing discoveries over the years and even struck it rich unearthing priceless artifacts. There are many areas known for possibly having buried treasure and hidden relics, and one such place is a town called Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire, England. It was once a Roman settlement and was the location of a historic market, as well as being an evacuation center for British people over the years.
One of the town’s residents, Lynne Garner, owned a sizeable piece of property and from time to time she and her husband would look around for buried treasure. One day they had been digging near a rockpile in the back garden when she spotted something unique looking among the stones. It was a dark brown lump and upon closer inspection they realized it was a tiny little hedgehog!
Hedgehogs are common in the area, but the one they found was not normal looking, which is what threw them off at first. Instead of having a body covered in spines, he was mostly bald and exposed. They rushed him to the local vet, A120 Veterinary Surgery, where doctors diagnosed him as having alopecia. They explained that it had likely been brought on by trauma the poor little guy had suffered in childhood and that a normal hedgehog would usually have around 5,000 spines. The stress from whatever he’d been through caused him to lose his spines and that left him extremely vulnerable to predators and the elements.
Now that Lynne knew what the little animal’s problem was, she set out to help him heal. Thankfully she is a seasoned wildlife rehabilitator, so she brought him back to her center and named him Derek. Other than his spine issue, Derek also had an infected wound on his back from a suspected bird attack. After she treated the wound Lynne needed to find him a temporary home where he could relax, roam freely, and stay warm. It also needed to be escape-proof and a woman named Monique had the perfect spot, her heated and enclosed greenhouse. That would be Derek’s home for the next couple of months or until he’d recovered enough to make it on his own outside.
Besides special living accommodations, Derek also received oil treatments and probiotics to boost his health. Soon his spines had started to grow back and he was much more active and happier. In fact, he managed to re-grow almost all his spines instead of just some as is common in most cases of alopecia! In the end, his swift recovery was nothing short of a miracle and while he may not ever be an outdoor hedgehog, he’ll always have a home with Lynne.

As soon as a parent has a child, the maternal and paternal instincts kick in almost immediately as the safety of their baby becomes the number one priority in their life. Whether it’s a top of the line baby moniter, the best baby seats in the car, safe pacifiers that can’t be choked on and basically baby proofing the entire house and anywhere else their child will be. The constant worry about your child’s safety becomes an everyday struggle that almost all parents face 24/7 365! With all that being said it brings us to today’s story which features a baby Houdini who somehow keeps disappearing from her crib every night!
For a newborn baby infant to a toddler a safe and secure crib is one of the biggest necessities in any household. Not only does the crib provide the ultimate security for the new baby but it also give new parents peace of mind so they can at least get a little bit of rest and sleep at night. Mother Nina and Father Chris of Phoenix, Arizona are two new responsible parents, who have gone through every step to make sure their baby daughter Chloe is safe at all times. For the first 14 months they faced the same challenges most parents do, with having to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of the baby when needed.
Like most parents out there, they were completely exhausted from only getting a few hours of sleep every night, but that was to be expected and they knew it was all par for the course. However when baby Chloe turned 15 months things began to take a very strange turn no one ever could’ve predicted. One morning mom woke up early to prepare breakfast and get some coffee brewing when she thought she heard a strange sound coming from the family room.
She walked into the room half asleep and thought she was hallucinating! She saw baby Chloe on the floor playing with her toys! She was stunned because her husband was still sleeping and she knew that she didn’t pick up baby Chloe from the crib and bring her into the family room. A sense of panic, dread and fear quickly came over mom as she couldn’t understand how this could even be possible…
Nina picked up her baby ran into the bedroom and woke up her husband Chris and told him what happened. He was just as startled as she was, so they went into her room and began to inspect the room to see if anything was out of place, if she could possibly of fallen out of her crib or somehow escaped… Nothing seemed weird or strange and the bed was completely undisturbed. The mystery of how baby Chloe ended up in the family room playing with her toys was only just beginning.
Not only did it seem impossible that she could get over the crib railing, but she wasn’t possibly tall enough to open her door and exit the room! What in the heck was possibly going on here?! They had more questions and literally no answers! They racked their brains and thought maybe they just didn’t close the door all the way and by some fluke she somehow got over the crib railing and headed for her toys. They decided not to make too big a deal out of it and went on with their day as per usual. They figured it was probably only going to happen once and they would make sure everything was secure every night from here on out.
The next night they turned the volume all the way up on the baby monitor just in case anything were to happen again. They secured baby Chloe in bed and made sure nothing was out of place. Within hours after putting their child to bed they heard strange sounds coming from the baby monitor at around midnight. They jumped out of bed ran to her room and to their surprise Chloe was out and about again this time in the hallway running around looking like she was having the best night of her life!
The parents were now starting to freak out, they sat baby Chloe down and straight up asked her how she was escaping her crib and getting out the door. Instead of answering, baby Chloe just giggled, laughed and wouldn’t give them a straight answer! Now this began happening every night and her parents began to go crazy trying to figure out how this was happening and more importantly they were truly worried about Chloe’s safety. The worried parents couldn’t sleep at night anymore because they were so scared during one of Chloe’s escape excursions something tragic was going to happen to her.
They decided to pick up a hidden security baby camera so they could finally get to the bottom of this strange baby Houdini disappearing act that was haunting their world. They went out purchased the camera set it up in the room and then waited to see if the mystery would be revealed! That night again they were woken up by the sound of the baby monitor and Chloe running around have a grand old time. This time though they were prepared as they grabbed the camera and reviewed the footage….

Hairdresser Was Brushing THIS Teens Hair When She Finds Something Horrifying That Sent Chills Up Her Spine!

Getting rid of lice used to be a lot more straightforward. When your kid came home with a note about a lice outbreak in the class, you simply combed through their hair to check for the bugs and eggs. If there were some, you bought the special shampoo and took care of the infestation.
Even going through and washing any infected clothing and bedding wasn’t entirely unmanageable. It was a pain in the butt, but once you took care of it, it was done. That may no longer be the case.
Like all living things, lice have been evolving. Specifically, some lice have developed a resistance to the drugs we’re used to using. One such example is RID, the commonly used over the counter shampoo used to snuff out lice infestations. There are now strains of Super lice that can survive such medications.
The phrase “Super lice” refers to strains of lice that are resistant to pyrethroids. Pyrethroids are the chemical agents most commonly used to treat head lice. Over the course of hundreds of years, head lice have learned to cope and even survive when put into contact with this chemical. This is bad news for parents of children with lice.
Many methods used to eliminate head lice are no longer useful against these evolved strains. Popular all-natural treatments like tetri oil and peppermint oil are not effective for treating super lice. However, all hope is not lost. There is research being done around the clock to develop new treatments. Additionally, dousing one’s head in coconut oil still helps to suffocate the bugs before combing out the eggs.
