Pest Season

With warmer weather, which I love, unfortunately also comes bugs, which I hate. As much as I hate bugs though, I can’t stand the smell of Raid! I don’t know why that is, but pesticide smells just does something to my sinuses. I end up having to go outside until all the odors dissipate.

I found this comprehensive list of home remedies for combating pests around your home that may just solve this problem. Most of the remedies use common sense and products normally found in your pantry. My mother in law used to have borax handy all the time. Now, I know why. You can use it in a variety of ways to control ants and cockroaches and other bugs in and around the house. I’ll have to go get me some.

Wood Preserving

We are a consumer driven society and we will always consume a good deal from our environment. While many would like the consumption of natural resources to stop, we all know it is impractical. So it is up to individuals and businesses to conduct themselves responsibly in order to sustain our resources for future generations.

Pacific Wood Preserving is a leading supplier of treated wood products in the western U.S. How does treated wood products help the environment? When products last longer because they are made from pressure treated wood, the less likely that they will have to be replaced as often. For example, the wooden decks most of us have in our backyard. If treated correctly and maintained, they can last as long as 15 to 20 years. However, left untreated, you’d be replacing them within 5 years if that.

Discounted Mortgage Saves Energy

One of the best ways to save energy is to have solar power installed in our homes. However, only a small percentage of homeowners are utilizing solar energy to append their power use. Ulster bank, which has branches in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, just launched a discounted mortgage for people who utilize solar power in their homes. Isn’t that amazing?

Mortgages usually take a huge chunk out of our budgets; but with a 50% discount off the bank’s variable rate, this could translate into substantial savings! This is to encourage homeowners to use the money they save to install solar technology in their homes. A pre-approved agreement with Solarcentury, a solar energy company, to install solar panels at an affordable cost is determined at the time that you arrange your mortgage loan.

What an innovative way to encourage everyone to make a dent in their carbon footstep.
