Bed Bugs and College Campuses

Filed under: Cleaning — admin @ 6:41 pm

Bed bugs pose a threat to college dorm rooms across the country, whether bed bugs in Reston, VA or elsewhere in the nation. When summer vacation comes to an end, students will be heading back to college campuses, taking back with them secondhand items such as mattresses, sofas and dressers. The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) reminds students “that this combination poses serious concerns.”

Bed bugs reproduce and spread quickly, hiding in classic college dorm décor such as sofas, chairs and picture frames. This is why many people are wondering how to get rid of bed bugs.

“Bed bugs are opportunistic and elusive pests,” said Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for NPMA. “As students return from summers filled with travel – which is often viewed as a central reason for this pests’ resurgence – and arrive with dorm furniture that can have an unknown history, university facility managers must proactively encourage student vigilance against bed bugs and work closely with licensed pest professionals to keep these pests at bay.”

To avoid having to call a pest control professional about bed bugs treatment in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the NPMA reminds students to fully inspect furniture before bringing it to campus. In addition, make sure to inspect the dorm room for a possible infestation, before putting your sheets on the bed or placing your furniture in the room.

Jobs Finally Announces a Fix

Filed under: Technology — admin @ 12:59 pm

Apple conducted Press Conference on Friday where it attempted to fix the beleaguered iPhone 4G. The latest phone from Apple has been under attack for the poor signal reception that it sometimes faces. Criticism has been mounting over the weeks and Apple’s non-responsive state to those criticisms has further aggravated the problem.At the heart of the issue is Apple’s decision to place the iPhone’s antenna externally instead of internally as is normally the case in current competitor phones. The reason for this is attributed to saving space in the new design and making the phone altogether slimmer. Unfortunately, this meant that the antenna was wrapped around the phone, exactly where users gripped it. A problem emerged with this design when users covered the lower left edge of the phone because a significant drop in reception was experienced.The initial dismissal and highhandedness with which Apple handled the problem is what has irked many an iPhone user and potential iPhone user. This led to the press conference where Apple had to fight fires. Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that all existing uses of the iPhone 4G would get free protective cases. Even those who have already purchased the cases will be given a refund so that they benefit from this solution. But although he offered a fix to the problem, Jobs did not pull any punches. He expressed his displeasure at the way the glitch had been blown out of proportion. He also proceeded to demonstrate how competitor phones also had reception issues and that the iPhone was not the only one.
