Have a Sanitary Thanksgiving!

As the holidays approach, many of us are planning to prepare a lot of food for numerous guests. When preparing large meals, many of us can cut corners in ways that are not normal. Surface areas might be doused with turkey gravy or vegetable oil. Food might fall to the floor and be left there until you are finished stirring the soup or basting the bird. Of course, as television personality and culinary expert Anthony Bordain once said, "I'd never let a little dirt ruin a good meal." The same can be said of the inevitable mess of cooking. Still, a little mess is a lot different than an unsanitary food prep environment, and that is why getting any lingering pest situation handled before Thanksgiving is so important.

Whether we are talking about flies or mice, the presence of pests is more than just a momentary inconvenience or a little bit of lovingly acquired grime. Pests spread diseases, and their presence can turn a big family meal into a family heath crisis. By spreading germs on any surface they touch, both of these beasts can become a real problem for a high-quality dinner.

With disposable fly traps placed anywhere your home might be vulnerable to a fly invasion, you can take a huge bite out of these critters. With the winter setting in, they will be fleeing into homes to try and survive the cold. Don't allow them to make your home their winter nest. Even if your home is unlikely to incur an infestation, some preparation—in the form of pre-ordering disposable fly traps—can be helpful.

Mice can also ruin Thanksgiving. Not only do they spread diseases through their feces and saliva, they will also dine on any foods they can get their hands on. Before you know it, an entire holiday feast can be compromised, costing you hundreds of dollars and creating more than a little disappointment. Glue mouse traps are really a necessity to have on hand for anyone who owns a home. Does that cover just about everyone? 

Keeping the kitchen sanitary is not the meticulous practice it may sound like. Instead, merely keeping food safe to eat can give your holiday the genuine feel of hominess without the risk of dysentery. Some sticky mousetraps or a fly trap is not much of an expense when you are assuring your Turkey Day goes off without a hitch.

Halloween Candy Safety and Pests

With Halloween an immediate concern and the holidays in general looming nearby, many of us have sweets and treats on our minds. A pleasant bowl of "fun size" chocolate bars on a coffee table, some candy corn placed in the guest room, and perhaps a plate of pumpkin-shaped cookies in the kitchen can all play a pleasant part in holiday celebrations. These treats might also attract a few pesky critters. Rodents and bugs love sweets, and it's hard to blame them.

If you want to have your candy out and eat it too, you have to be vigilant in keeping pests out of your home. Obviously you should always be vigilant in this capacity, but with all of these tempting treats around, you might have to keep a closer eye out. Leave a sticky mouse trap around just in case. By merely touching your snacks, a mouse or bug can spread an unseemly amount of ailments and diseases to you, your family, or house guests. 

Whenever a fly lands on a surface, it excretes waste. This means that if a fly lands on that bowl of candy corn, the bowl has now been exposed to fly feces. Keeping fly-killing disposable fly traps is indispensable. Similarly, as a mouse makes its way around your home, it excretes feces without regard for your family's food. More worrisome still is that a mouse chewing through that Snickers wrapper is sure to leave remnants of saliva on the candy. If you aren't careful, you might find yourself biting into the same section of a candy bar that a mouse did, and that is quite simply disgusting.

Here are some ideas to safely present family and friends with snacks without inviting a menagerie of wildlife to snack as well. Keep snacks covered as best as possible. Dishes with glass lids are great for keeping pests out. Only purchase individually wrapped treats. While a mouse might tear through some wrappers, it might not even know food is there if the food remains packaged. 

Buying sticky mouse traps and disposable fly traps is always a good idea. No one wants their Halloween ruined by spooky exterminators coming in to fumigate your home. Keep food and your family safe with help from these excellent tools.

Do Not Let Flies Hibernate in Your Home, Purchase Disposable Fly Traps Now!

Winter is nigh. The days are getting shorter and the temperature is plummeting. As we scatter back home earlier to cuddle up with a bowl of soup and the new fall TV series, flies are attempting to find some place to endure the long, cold winter. Whether you think so or not, your home is a place that flies might land and attempt to make their home, and the home for their thousands of relatives, for the next few months. You need to prepare, and purchasing disposable fly traps is a great place to start. Whether you see the bugs now or not, this is a "better safe than sorry" situation.

It is hard to be mad at flies and other insects whose bodies are telling them, with increasing urgency, to find warmth. This is the natural state of things. Just as bears make their way to deep caves for a long winter of rest, flies make their way to any warm nook they can find. The difference is that once in your home, flies can continue on a consistent clip of activity. With no shortage of garbage to eat, they can breed all winter long and inhabit your home in ways that are disturbingly pervasive. Your only chance to stifle this possibility is often some form of disposable fly trap. Sprays are often ineffective, exterminators are expensive, and ignoring the problem is tantamount surrender.

Keeping your home tidy can only go so far. Unlike in warm months, flies are not rushing towards your home only when they smell a viable food source. These creeps are simply looking for a warm place to save them from the stifling winter. Disposable fly traps allow you to collect and dispose of these flies quickly. Once you get the problem under control, you can keep some extra traps in case there is another infestation. These disposable fly traps are an inexpensive solution to the problem.

Do not settle for flies doing the backstroke in your warm soup. Do not be okay with flies breeding in your walls. Do not accept that fly waste will be scattered across your countertops in ways you cannot even see. Allow disposable fly traps to handle the problem so you can keep warm this winter in peace and in good health. Flies are going to have to find someplace else to hide.

Managing Pests During the Summer with Disposable Fly Traps

"Summertime and the living is easy," the old song goes, and for many of us it rings true. While we may languish a bit in oppressive heat, we also enjoy a wide array of activities that are inviting and unique to the summer. There are outdoor cookouts perfect for entertaining the family, friends and neighbors. You can swim in the pool for hours on end, avoiding the heat but not the powerfully tanning sun.

Of course these and all manner of outdoor fun can be stifled by the summer's uninvited guests: bugs. Whether that brisket smoking on the grill is inviting flies or your delicious skin is welcoming mosquitoes, you have to be able to manage bugs during your outdoor activities in the summer. That might mean bug spray and citronella candles for avoidance sake, but it should also include disposable fly traps to take the problem on a little more head on. 

During outdoor meals, disposable fly traps can be placed in areas away from the food to assure that bugs are not landing on the food you happen to be eating. This is not a small job. Each and every time a fly lands anywhere it dispenses its waste. This means any item of food a fly lands on has microscopic bits of fly feces. While that might seem insignificant, even small amounts of bacteria can make humans and pets incredibly sick. By killing the flies, you can assure the safety of your food, though you might still want to invest in covers for dishes that will be sitting outside.

As far as the pool goes, flies and other bugs can become a persistent issue when trying to keep the pool clean and the water safe to swim. Again the same truth of flies carrying diseased-bacteria rings true. If those dead flies that float on the top of your pool get into kids' mouths, they could become quite ill. Not to mention, it is gross. With disposable fly traps strewn around the pool, you can significantly limit the amount of bugs that make their way into your swimming water and make getting rid of the dead flies significantly easier.

Whether you own a pool, plan on having cookouts or just intend to leave your home this summer, disposable fly traps are a must have. They will allow you to live comfortably and disease-free.

Why I Use Humane Mouse Traps

When I was a little boy we were up in the woods at my uncle’s cabin. He called everyone over to look at a family of mice in a stump. There were a few babies and a mommy. After everyone had seen them squeak and pulse in their home they soon occupied themselves with other things. I remained, and eager for the mice to come out and play, I took a stick and encouraged them to come out by pumping the stick up and down in the stump. My uncle, drunk with rage, saw me and shouted, “What are you doing to those mice?” I, defenseless and innocent, didn’t realize what I had done, until he told me, “You killed all those baby mice!”

Needless to say this event permanently scarred me. Now whenever I see mice a wave of sorrow washes over me, especially when I’ve had to deal with them in my home. The little critters are cute but I know they must be gotten rid of. So I buy humane mouse traps, which I believe to be the best mouse traps, and spread them in areas where the mice congregate. When I catch them, I take the human mouse traps and release the little beasties into the wild.

Catchmaster of Flies!

I hate flies. There is nothing worse than trying to enjoy a delicious brunch in the warm sun and seeing a large horse fly land and twiddle its feelers, vomiting, on my cantaloupe. It makes me want to throw the food away, but that would be wasteful. So my new resolution has been to try to kill every fly that I see – or don’t see.

To do that I use disposable fly traps. Now they call me the catchmaster. I leave the trap outside on my deck and it emits a powerful sex pheromone to attract all the flies that come near. When I delight in my Sunday brunch I view the trap and the dozens of flies that have been suckered in, some of the newer additions still buzzing and struggling in vain. I put them out of their misery by throwing them in the garbage and boom, I take out next week’s disposable fly traps.

This way the flies don’t bother me, and I’m doing the world a favor by ridding them of these spreaders of disease and feasters on garbage (and melon). As official catchmaster, I know that I wouldn’t have earned my title without these disposable fly traps. Read More!

The Best Mouse Traps Are Not Cats

My cat’s name is Fanny and let me tell you, she is no savage beast. Whenever I come home she’s lazily sunning herself and if she’s feeling like it, she’ll greet me with a purr and a figure eight through my legs. She’s so friendly that she treats everyone else who comes into my house the same way.

When I discovered a rodent infestation in my home, I was not surprised. I thought that cats were supposed to eat mice, but clearly Fanny’s too sweet to be a hunter. Anyway, I decided I had to do something about the mice. So I bought some humane mouse traps, which I hear are really the best mouse traps because they allow the mice to return to the world and they don’t make me feel bad or sick when dealing with a bloody mess caught in a trap. So I bought a trap with a powerful rodent attractant called Valerian root, which is supposedly what the Pied Piper used to rid Hamelin of all the rats.

I came home the other day to find four sleeping mice in this habitat and was delighted that the trap was so efficient and safe. I didn’t realize that humane mouse traps can work so well. So Fanny or no Fanny, I am getting my home mouse free. Read More!

Are Mouse Glue Traps Safe To Have In A Home With Children?

Introducing CatchMaster Traps disposable fly traps

Last summer I left my studio apartment and moved into a dreamy garden one-bedroom. Man, I was so happy! First of all, my old place hardly had any windows, and the only two windows were facing a wall. Besides, I just love sitting outside in the sun, especially in those beautiful summer days, enjoying a margarita and a freshly barbecued burger! How can you beat that?

When everything was finally ready and I set in my yard for the first time, I quickly realized that if I was going to stay another minute – my entire blood supply will be sucked out of me by various mosquitoes and bugs. I ran to the nearest drug store, looking for a simple solution but all I could find were these zappers that lure the flies in and… well… zap them! I just don’t like that. I mean, I don’t like the bites as well but I understand that we all gotta eat something!

So I tried incense candles- which were pretty stinky and nothing much else- and soon I thought of giving up the idea of margaritas in the sun. But then a friend of mine introduced me to CatchMaster traps Electrical Fly Trap.

You see, it’s a trap, not a death sentence by electrocution, which I really like! The flytrap uses the same light frequency those zappers use, but instead of buzzing the insects, it keeps them inside a disposable fly trap cartridge that could be simply removed after use.

Now because of that fact, this is the perfect solution for use around food preparation areas. For more info and disposable fly traps, visit www.catchmaster.com today! Read More!
