    How to Check for Bed Bugs

    It seems as though bed bugs are everywhere anymore. Thanks to the media and the internet, people are more capable of sharing their experiences in hotels, cruise ships, trains, and planes when it comes to the little critters showing up. Just one pregnant bed bug coming home with you can lead to a complete infestation in your home in a few days or weeks. The first thing you should do when returning from a vacation or after bringing a piece of furniture into your home is looking for bed bugs. You have to know where and what to watch for before you can decide what the next steps to getting rid of them are. Find out about the process now, so you don’t have a much bigger problem to deal with down the road.

    Where to Look

    Bed bugs live and feed in areas that they have a host or a human body. They feed solely off of human blood, so they stick close to where they are going to have easy access to one when they get hungry. They will not travel to different locations unless the host moves or their infestation grows to a point where the single host isn’t enough for all of them anymore.

    Start in the room where it is assumed they are living. Check along the corners and joints of the bed frame, the cracks and crevices in the mattress, in baseboards, floorboards, and carpeting. You may even be able to see them on furniture near the bed. They like to stay in tight, dark areas to keep safe from predators.

    Signs to Watch For

    If you can fit a credit card into a spot, bed bugs can fit in there too. That’s why it’s hard to see physical signs of the annoying creatures with a visual scan. Aside from seeing the actual bugs, you may be able to notice signs that the insects were there eating or reproducing. Look for:

    • Blood spots – red, dark, and present wherever a bed bug may have been squished by a human body exposing the blood from their stomachs that they had consumed earlier.
    • Shed skin – bed bugs replace their outer shells as they grow. As a result, they leave behind an exoskeleton that is gold in color.
    • Fecal droppings – dark, thin streaks that smear red when rubbed with a wet cloth.
    • Bed bug eggs – eggs are white and look like rice. A pregnant female will drop two to five eggs each day.
    • The bugs – they’re a dark reddish-brown color and get about the size of an apple seed. They have six legs and antennae. Around the abdomen are hairs that create the illusion of dark bands.

    How to Do an Inspection

    You’re going to have the best chance at seeing a bed bug infestation if you use a magnifying glass and a black light flashlight. You should also have a tool to scrape in the cracks and crevices for the smaller matter. Start in one area of the room moving slowly around until the entire inspection is complete.

    Next Steps

    When you’re still unsure about whether or not you have bed bugs after an inspection, some monitors can be used on the legs of furniture that work as a trap. Set them out at night and in the morning you will be able to see the insects in the trap. After you confirm the presence of bed bugs, there are homemade sprays with chemical ingredients that can be sprayed on the infected areas. For severe infestations, you may want to consider calling in a professional company to ensure they are all cleared out.

  • 11 Natural Coffee Alternatives

    11 Natural Coffee Alternatives

    For countless adults, coffee is a part of daily life. It could be one cup in the morning to get you motivated or several cups throughout the day to keep you energized and moving. For some it is merely a habit, others feel as though they need it, making it more of an addiction than an enjoyable morning refreshment. While coffee in low doses doesn’t seem to have any negative impacts, doctors have suggested that their patients reduce or eliminate coffee from their diets for various reasons. Thankfully, for those that have to or want to cut coffee out of their life, there are plenty of natural alternatives that give the same effects as your favorite cup of Joe.

    1.    Kombucha

    For thousands of years, kombucha has been used for its probiotics. It will give you a boost of energy, but there is a fermentation process that makes it have the same properties as alcohol. Don’t drink it in large amounts if you have to drive.

    2.    Water Infused with Fruit

    Water sounds boring. You may find it difficult to believe, but it can boost your energy levels. That’s even truer when you add in nutritious fruits like lemons.

    3.    Fruit Smoothies

    Milk and fruits rich in nutrients are great for you first thing in the morning in place of your regular coffee. More than that, it’s a filling refreshment that can be used as a meal replacement if you’re looking to cut back on calories or lose weight.

    4.    Chai Tea

    Chai tea gives you about a third of the amount of caffeine that regular coffee does when you want to find an alternative that reduces your caffeine intake. It tastes good as it is, or you can alter it by adding other ingredients like cream and sugar.

    5.    Teeccino Coffee

    The people at Teeccino coffee claim that their tea is the only coffee alternative out there that actually tastes like coffee. It’s both caffeine and acid-free making it healthier for your diet.

    6.    Postum

    Postum is a beverage that dates back as far as 1895. It’s warm and can be whipped up quickly by just adding some water. It’s caffeine-free but resembles coffee and works effectively for some as a substitute.

    7.    Matcha

    Matcha is unique because it can both boost energy levels and relax you when added to all different kinds of recipes. The taste is one that has to be acquired for most, but the number of benefits associated with the ingredient makes it worth it.  It has about half the amount of caffeine as a regular cup of coffee.

    8.    Green Tea

    Green tea is loaded with ingredients that are beneficial, and it’s often used in replacement for coffee. Improved skin and hydration are both advantages that come along with consuming green tea. There is about one-third of the amount of caffeine in a cup of green tea compared to your average serving of traditional java.

    9.    Hot Chocolate

    Hot chocolate is probably the most closely related to coffee if you’re looking for something to trick your mind into thinking you’re having your morning indulgence. There isn’t near as much caffeine, and the flavor makes it pleasurable to drink.

    10.    Rooibos Tea

    Even though Rooibos tea is caffeine free, there are other ingredients found in it that can increase energy and boost your metabolism naturally. You can even drink it right before you go to bed because it won’t keep you awake. Another name for the South African beverage is “red tea.”

    11.    Sparkling Water

    Sparkling water is infused with bubbles that give you the feeling you have a crisp and refreshing soda, but its way better for you than coffee. It’s also a little more satisfying than plain water.

  • 10 Substitutes for Baking Powder

    10 Substitutes for Baking Powder

    Baking powder is a widely used ingredient that makes your baked goods lighter and fluffier. The problem is, you might not always have it available to you. Instead of skipping the recipe altogether, discover some great substitutes that can be used in its place.

    Baking Powder Defined

    The composition of baking powder is sodium bicarbonate. It is known in the world of chemistry as a base that gets paired with an acid like cream of tartar or filler such as cornstarch. The leavening agent is used commonly in a variety of baking recipes.

    When the baking soda is mixed with water, the acidic component and the sodium bicarbonate react with one another allowing the release of carbon-dioxide gases. This reaction makes bubbles form, and that’s what adds the volume to baked goods, bread, cakes, and other foods.

    Baking soda and baking powder are two different ingredients that get confused frequently. Baking soda doesn’t have the acidic component however and must be blended with an acid to produce the same results as baking powder.

    If you run out of baking powder, try using one of these alternatives.

    1.    Plain Yogurt

    Plain yogurt has an acidic pH that adds the same effect as baking powder to your recipe. Mix ¼ teaspoon of baking soda and a ½ cup of yogurt and replace one teaspoon of baking powder. Be sure to reduce your liquid ingredients in an amount equal to your yogurt addition.

    2.    Buttermilk

    Buttermilk is similar to plain yogurt in makeup and can be used in the same manner when you don’t have baking powder as an option for your recipe.

    Suggested Article:  “Super Easy Homemade Buttermilk”

    3.    Cream of Tartar

    A two-to-one ratio of cream of tartar to baking soda creates the best finishes when using it as a substitute. ¼ teaspoon of baking soda and a ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar equals one teaspoon of baking powder.

    4.    Molasses

    Molasses is high in sugar and when using a ¼ of the liquid combined with a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda you can leave out a teaspoon of baking powder.

    5.    Vinegar

    White vinegar has a natural taste, and when paired with baking soda in cakes and cookies a leavening effect is produced. When your recipe calls for a teaspoon of baking soda, use a ¼ teaspoon with a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda and a ½ teaspoon of vinegar as a replacement.

    6.    Sour Milk

    Acidification has occurred in sour milk so using a ½ cup along with a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda can be used to replace a teaspoon of baking powder. Reduce your liquids by whatever addition of sour milk you’re using.

    7.    Club Soda

    Baking soda is found in club soda in the form of sodium bicarbonate. Use it to replace any liquids in your recipes that only require a small amount of lightness and volume. It can be used instead of milk or water for instance.

    8.    Lemon Juice

    Use ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of lemon juice to replace a full teaspoon of baking soda. There are high levels of citric acid in lemon juice that allow for the acid-based reaction that comes with baking soda.

    Related Article:  “10 Amazing Uses for Lemons”

    9.    Whipped Egg Whites

    Whipped egg whites create tiny bubbles that contribute to the rising of many baked goods. Pancakes, meringues, and soufflés often call for whipped egg whites. Beat them slowly until they foam and then increase the speed of your mixer until soft peaks start forming.

    10.    Self-Rising Flour

    Baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour all makeup self-rising flour making it a good option if you run out of baking powder and baking soda. Just take out the baking powder, baking soda, and regular flour in your recipe and replace it with self-rising flour to help your baked goods rise.

  • 8 Powerful Uses for Limestone

    8 Powerful Uses for Limestone

    As one of the most versatile materials on the Earth, there are a plethora of uses and benefits of limestone. It can be utilized for a vast number of activities from fertilizing lawns to whitening teeth. Discover more on how limestone works to benefit your livelihood.

    Gardening and Farming

    Limestone has the capability of adjusting the acid levels in the soil to produce conditions that are ideal for growing crops on both the larger agricultural scale and in smaller home gardens. Plants, vegetables, and other crops are protected from nutrients in the ground that could potentially become toxic from nutrients being too prevalent like aluminum. It keeps the pH level at about 5.6 when applied properly. Anything over 5.5 is best for plant and food growth. It also adds minerals that are valuable for the soil like calcium and magnesium.

    Building Material

    The use of limestone in building goes back centuries. From the time the building of the Megalithic Temples that are the oldest free-standing structures through the construction of The Great Pyramid of Giza and beyond, people have been adding limestone to their creations. Train stations and banks from the Victorian era and after the 20th century have limestone in them. Today, exteriors and tiles are often made up of travertine, which is a form of limestone. The only problem with the material is that it is damaged when it comes in contact with acid solutions like acid rain.

    Golf Courses

    The pH balance in the soil on golf course greens is something that lawns keepers keep a close eye on to ensure they produce the best results. Not only does the proper pH look nicer, but it also makes it easier for players. When the turf gets out of the ideal range, limestone can be applied to the dirt to regulate the levels.

    Lawn Growth

    When lawns aren’t growing in as full and thick as you want them to, limestone in a pulverized form can be applied to change that. It improves the structure of the soil which makes for a better growing condition for the grass. You should apply the limestone before planting grass for an evener distribution and possibility for water penetration and absorption for a favorable soil structure.

    Cat Litter

    There are odor and moisture absorbing properties to limestone that make it useful in kitty litter. Cat urine contains ammonia that can cause respiratory problems when present in large amounts.  The lime counteracts the potentially damaging effects of your cat’s litter box making it safer and more pleasant to be around for you and your family.

    Healthy Horses

    During the colder winter months, farmers and other owners like to keep their horses inside a safe barn to protect them from the elements. The problem arises with the ammonia that comes from the animals urinating in the stalls that they stand in for extended periods of time. When limestone is placed under their bedding in a way that the horses will not have contact with it, it can absorb the ammonia making the barn a safer, better smelling place to be.

    Roads

    The base of many roads has a crushed limestone component included. Asphalt is made up of limestone in part as well. It continues to be used in the updates of existing highways and urban infrastructures today.

    Teeth Whitening and Other Brightening Uses

    Inside of your toothpaste, limestone is used as filler and a pigment that helps in cleaning your teeth and making them brighter. It is cheap and can lighten up a plethora of other materials as well, so it’s often put in plastic, paint, tile, and paper for a bigger and brighter finished product.

  • 3 Tips to Outsmart Backyard Critters

    3 Tips to Outsmart Backyard Critters

    No matter where you live, you’re probably familiar with backyard critters. These squirrels, skunks, raccoons, and more tend to invade yards in both the city and the country. There’s nothing worse than having to defend your yard from these invasive pests, especially when you catch them trying to eat the crops growing in your garden. Thankfully, there are a few different ways to outsmart them!

    Stop Attracting Them

    Outdoor critters want three things: shelter, food, and water. If you have even one of these three things in your yard, you’ll attract some unwanted pests. The shelter could be anything from a doghouse to a backyard deck. Even the shade and protection from something like a hot tub can provide a good hiding space for a raccoon or squirrel. The food comes from your garden, in the form of the crops that you grow. Other sources include trash cans full of kitchen scraps and even compost bins. Finally, if you have birdfeeder or a pet dish full of water, you’ll no doubt see some wild critters drinking from them. The best way to keep from attracting these animals is by limiting their access to these things. Bar off any covered sections of your yard, fence in your garden, and don’t leave your pet’s water dishes outside, unless your pet is present.

    Scare Them Off

    If those methods don’t work, or are unfeasible for one reason or another, you need to scare them off. Since these backyard animals tend to be afraid of humans, this is fairly easy to do. You could set out aluminum pie tins filled with ammonia. This works great if you have raccoons living under your front or back porch. Don’t block off any of the exit routes, since that will trap the animals in and cause an entirely different problem should they expire under there. You need to be humane and give them a chance to escape. However, a small tin with some ammonia in it will annoy the animals, and they’ll leave on their own. The chemical in ammonia irritates their respiratory system.

    Another method involves placing a radio outside. Since many squirrels, raccoons, and skunks, (not to mention other pests) are afraid of humans; this works quite well. Set the radio to a talk station at a fairly low volume. It should loud enough to scare off the animals, but not so loud that it irritates your neighbors. Leave the radio running as much as you can, especially at night.

    Bright lights make up the third method of disturbing these critters. They want dark, quiet spaces to hide out in, particularly when they’re giving birth to their offspring. Shining spotlights, setting up motion detector lights, or just leaving outdoor lights on in the areas where they tend to hide will deter them from setting up a habitat in your yard.

    Tailor Your Methods to the Animal

    Finally, once you determine which animals have been frequenting your yard, you can completely outsmart them. Some of them, raccoons, for example, have sensitive paws. Sprinkling some dried pepper flakes over your rock borders or fences will keep them at bay. They’ll go elsewhere permanently once their paws begin to sting. Squirrels, on the other hand, like fruit trees and birdfeeders. If it bothers you that you’re constantly chasing them away, think about whether you really want those things in your yard. You could always get rid of the tree or empty the feeder and place it in storage. Other critters, like skunks and moles, like to tunnel under the ground. Setting up your landscaping to block off their access will work well.

    As you can see, there are numerous ways to prevent wild critters from taking over your yard, it may take a little bit of thought but you can definitely outsmart them.

  • 7 Great Fence Alternatives for Your Yard

    7 Great Fence Alternatives for Your Yard

    Improved landscaping, privacy, and security are common reasons why people install fencing in their yards. You don’t have to necessarily use a traditional fence to produce the same effect with the many different alternatives out there. There are several that are environmentally friendly that also look beautiful. Check out seven different options that you have to choose from when it comes to creating a perimeter around your yard.

    1.    Brushwood

    Brushwood is a natural material that you can make yourself or buy from your local lumberyard. When you’re looking to make a barrier, but you want it to look natural, brushwood is a good option. Due to the texture and color, it blends in with the natural background. The problem with brushwood is that it isn’t water resistant and can quickly become damaged or rot.

    2.    Stone

    Stone walls require no mortar so you can easily install it and change it depending on what you need. They look extremely attractive in most yards. Stone walls don’t keep wind or wild animals from doing what they do naturally. Pressure washing the stones is simple if you want to keep a clean look. You can also let the moss and plants grow for a more natural and stunning look. The rocks can be expensive to purchase and difficult to move around if they’re large is a downside to this option.

    3.    Bamboo

    Bamboo screens can be installed quickly, they are affordable, and they grow fast. They don’t have to be set up permanently in case you’re looking for a temporary fencing solution. There isn’t much maintenance required for bamboo. You can either cut it up and let it dry before installing or let it grow wild for a natural look. It will blend into the existing backdrop if other plants or trees surround your property. It’s recommended for small homes and cottages rather than older bigger homes where bamboo might look out of place.

    4.    Hedges

    Putting in hedging as a fence is probably the most versatile option. You get to decide what kind of plants to install so you can customize the look along with the size. If you want a tall fence, some hedges and trees can grow up to 20 or 30 feet over some time. When something shorter is desired, you can select one that doesn’t reach that height. The combinations of trees, shrubs, and flowers that can be planted to create an effective perimeter around your yard are endless.

    5.    Corrugated Metal Panels

    Corrugated metal is durable and can be decorated with wood accents for a more attractive finish. It’s affordable and can be installed a lot more quickly than traditional fencing. You can give it a modern or vintage look, depending on the size, style, and design you finish it with. The metal can be expensive to purchase if you have a large area to cover. It’s not natural looking and will stick out against the rest of the property making it clear you have put up a barrier.

    6.    Vertical Gardens

    You can construct several different vertical gardens on various platforms and set them next to one another to create a fence. The amount of coverage you’re going to get is going to depend on how dense your gardens are.

    7.    Ivy on Rope

    Running rope around the border where you want to install fencing gives you a good foundation for growing ivy. The plant will grow quickly, and you can train it to wind around your rope and then it will hang off of it creating a radiant barrier. You can also add in different kinds of flowers and plants to create a completely different look.

    As you can see, there are plenty of alternative options when deciding the type of material to use for your fence.  Some of these may not be practical for your purpose, but you should be able to use at least one or two depending on the purpose of your application.

  • 11 Little-Known Green Alternatives to Concrete

    11 Little-Known Green Alternatives to Concrete

    What have you found out there for a building material that is more solid and long-lasting than concrete? It’s what holds together and constructs pretty much everything around you. Sidewalks, apartment buildings, bridges, roads, viaducts, and all other modern urban life necessities are built with the man-made compound.

    The problem is, there are vast amounts of C02 emissions that are sent into the air every year during the production of the commercial concrete that contributes to the climate change issues that we’re dealing with. Thankfully, there have been other building materials discovered that have less of an impact on the environment but can still withstand the pressure of doing the job of concrete. Take a look at these 11 “green” solutions.

    1.    Grasscrete

    One way that the amount of concrete being used is reduced happens when the concrete gets poured in such a way that grass and other foliage can grow up in between the patterns. It’s been done successfully in driveways, sidewalks, concrete flooring, and walkways. Along with the reduction of concrete use, there is the benefit of improved water drainage and absorption.

    2.    HempCrete

    The woody inner fibers of the hemp plant can be used to bind and create concrete-like shapes that are both sturdy and light. It’s a fast-growing renewable resource that doesn’t cost as much to transport because of its weight.

    3.    AshCrete

    Instead of traditional concrete, ashcrete uses fly ash. It’s a by-product of burning coal. It’s estimated that 97% of the standard materials used in concrete can be swapped out for recycled components.

    4.    Timbercrete

    Sawdust and concrete mixed together creates timbercrete. The transportation emissions generated to move it are lower because it’s a lighter product. The sawdust is a waste product that gets reused. The energy-intensive components of the standard concrete are eliminated. Bricks, pavers, and blocks can all be formed with timbercrete.

    5.    Ferrock

    Dust that is created through work in the steel industry is a material that can be used to create something that’s even stronger than concrete called ferrock. During the hardening and drying process, the carbon dioxide gets absorbed into the ferrock making it carbon neutral.

    6.    Rammed Earth

    Walls have been made by forming and tamping Earth for thousands of years. They can last a long time and be made more sustainable by utilizing bamboo or rebar as a foundation to build around.

    7.    Straw Bales

    Homes and other structures have been built out of local, natural materials since the beginning of time. The walls inside of the frame that would otherwise be wood, gypsum, concrete, plaster, fiberglass or stone can be built with straw bales. As long as they have been sealed properly, they provide insulation from cold and hot weather. It’s a renewable resource that’s both affordable and sustainable.

    8.    Recycled Plastic

    Ground up recycled plastic and trash can be added into concrete to reduce that amount of garbage clogging up landfills. It’s also a way to prevent extracting, mining, and milling of new materials.

    9.    Bamboo

    Bamboo has been used as a building material in other cultures for many years. It’s lightweight, fast growing, and sturdy. It’s ideal for post-disaster rebuilding, construction in low-income areas where it grows naturally, and excellent for hard to access areas.

    10.    Mycelium

    Mushrooms and fungi are what makeup mycelium. It’s a building material of the future that is grown around molds, straw, and other natural materials. After it’s dried, it can be used to make bricks and other strong yet lightweight shapes.

    11.    Wood

    Wood is the most traditional yet one of the most eco-friendly building materials that there is. The forests can create biodiverse habitats and absorb unwanted C02 while growing.

  • 9 Useful Items You Can Find at a Dollar Store

    9 Useful Items You Can Find at a Dollar Store

    The dollar store is more than a place filled with cheap trinkets and toys. It also has plenty of useful items that many homesteaders will find handy. On top of that, everything at the dollar store is affordable. Depending on which one you go to, you might find that everything is a dollar – or at the most, a few dollars. Whether you’re on a budget or just want to save money, these stores are the best places to go for some basic items.

    Cheesecloth

    Cheesecloth is useful in the kitchen, as it helps you strain things like cheese. If your local dollar store doesn’t sell properly labeled cheesecloth, then look for very thin towels. They’ll work just as well, and can be reused, making them even more of a bargain.

    Sewing Needles

    Not only are these items great for their intended purpose (sewing, of course), but they work well for getting out splinters and even applying stitches. Just remember to heat up the tips first with a match or lighter to sterilize them. When you’re getting a package of dozens of sewing needles for a dollar, you’ll find that you come up with many additional uses for them!

    Towels

    We already touched on this briefly in the cheesecloth section, but towels, in general, are plentiful at the dollar store. For a mere dollar, you can get large bath towels, packs of washcloths, and even dishtowels. There’s one for every purpose. Stash some in your car for those just-in-case moments or slice them into smaller towels to wipe up spills.

    Buckets

    Plastic buckets are great to have around. You can fill them with soil and use them as planters (just make sure to punch a few drainage holes in the bottom), place chicken scraps in them, and even use them to hold general garden tools. If you can find food grade plastic buckets, feel free to place them in your kitchen where they can hold meal items.

    Plastic Containers

    Speaking of food grade plastics, these containers have any number of uses. They can hold leftovers from your meals. You can use smaller ones to separate out sewing tools or toiletries. Plastic contains can hold some of your children’s toys, such as puzzle or game pieces and sets of blocks, ensuring that they won’t get lost. Really, there’s no shortage of useful things that they can do.

    Twine

    Every good homesteader needs to keep a ball of thick string or twine on hand. This product is good for attaching your vine vegetables to the trellis. If it’s thick enough, it will make a nice laundry line, as clothespins will adhere to it well.

    Clothespins

    Speaking of clothespins, you can find those at the dollar store as well. These small wooden or plastic devices can hang up clothes to dry, keep bags of flour or rice closed, and even serve as impromptu bookmarks. You can even hang decorations with them around the holidays.

    Freezer Bags

    You won’t feel bad about using plastic freezer bags when they’re this inexpensive. These bags are great for freezing fresh fruits and vegetables for later use. You can also use them to store leftovers. They can even hold seed packets for next year’s garden.

    Rice

    Although white rice isn’t the best thing to eat, the kind sold at the dollar store can be used to make homemade heating pads. It also makes a great weight, if you need to anchor down a piece of wire fencing around your garden.

    The dollar store is filled with useful items for homesteaders. Many of these items can handle more than one task, ensuring that you really do get your money’s worth.
