How to deal with cockroache infestation

cockroaches are the most annoying set of insects that I have ever encountered, not only are they extremely fast, they are also very hard to kill, cockroaches can survive for several days even with their heads cut off. When you sight a single cockroach in your home, just be sure there are at least 30 more hidden. They are hated almost everywhere in the world except in china, I head of a guy called Mr. Wang Funming also known as the roach king pin, he breeds roaches and sells them, get this he also eats them, like literally fries and eat cockroaches as a protein snack. Anyways there are pills sold in china which are made of parts from roaches, they function as casual cure for heart, liver & stomach ailments. Mr. Wang has over 20 million roaches in his farm, yes over a million. These simple tips will help you rid your house of cockroaches.

• Hygiene

Cockroaches like dirty places, its specifically their heaven, in order to keep them away from your home, you have to be a cleaning expert, maids can help you with the cleaning but they aren’t known exactly for their hard work, they usually clean were its visible & leave the tight corners or where your eyes cannot reach, which exactly where the roaches hide and build their nests. Its better if you do the job yourself.

• Seal all available openings 

Cockroaches are like ninjas, they can easily slip into your home through the smallest crack, they come in different sizes, some are small, while some are big, just block every available opening they can use to gain access into your home.

• Fix water leakages

Cockroaches like wet places, that’s why you can find them in large numbers under a leaking kitchen zinc, toilets especially pet latrines, & near soak away. Poor plumbing job usually leads to water leakages, which requires you to put a bucket to control the leakage, that gathered water ends up attracting roaches into your home, so immediately you notice a leakage get the plumber to get it fix immediately.

• Clean up residual food stuffs.

If you like living half eaten food stuffs uncovered, or leaving tiny pieces of food scrubs, you should stop, not only those it attracts roaches, but it also brings the super pheromones soldiers(ants) & we all know they are worse than roaches, because they are not afraid of humans & they also like to bite us. Trust me when I say it’s very painful & your whole body will feel it. So left over foods should always be covered up or stored in the fridge, remaining food scrubs should also be cleaned out. Empty the dustbin on regular bases especially the one in the kitchen.This one has a lot of watery liquid & food trash, the trash in the kitchen should be emptied daily and also make sure its well covered, a plastic bag should be perfect for it.

• Turn up the AC

Make it as cold as possible, or if you live in a cool environment just leave the windows open, roaches don’t like the cold, you may have noticed that they are always scarce during winter. Keeping your home cool keeps them away.

• Homemade remedies

When you are trying to kill a cockroach, it’s extremely fast & has that smelly defense mechanism that its secrets when it feels threatened. If the roach is too fast, simply mix soap and some water, this will slow it down, giving you sometime to send the Roche to meet his maker. When spraying the mixture, make sure you aim for the head & the abdomen, any kind of soap will do whether dish washing or bathing. You can also bait them & poison them by mixing some hydrogen Borate otherwise known as boric acid with some powdered sugar. The sugar quantity should be about a quarter of the mixture while borate is the rest. It smells a bit funny, just spray the powder where the roaches usually hide like dark corners & holes.

• Get a Cat

Cats are not only very cute but they help you get rid of mouse, rats etc. They also good at destroying roches, I can categorically say my cat is a professional in this field. it helped me a lot when roaches invaded my home during my absence.

• Insecticides

several different kinds exit but most don’t usually finish the roaches fast enough, it keeps them flying around for a bit which is very irritating. If you live in Nigeria you can use Rambo powder, its extremely cheap just 70 naira, but it’s very effective against roaches and ants, it kills roaches immediately upon contact, best part about it is that, it has no irritable smell & it isn’t harmful to humans & pets.One of the best things about this powder is that it can last for a very long time, as long as the powder is there, all cockroaches and insects will totally avoid that place.

• Note

If you feel the roach army are too high in number for you to handle, just call in the exterminators, they are professionals just like the monster hunters from the witcher series. The only difference is they hunt insects instead of monsters. Don't worry your action will not make cockroaches extinct in this world, They are even more tenacious than humans when it comes to survival.

A simple guide to a successful broiler birds production

Most people avoid investing in Broiler chicken production due to the high mortality rate they face during the process of rearing them. This mortality rate can be minimized to a very insignificant level by following this simple guide. This can be applied to both small scale & large scale broiler production.

Hygiene

Before you other your chicks make sure you their supposed new home is completely cleaned and disinfected. This will greatly increase their chance of survival as Broiler birds are easily susceptible to diseases. Not only that they easily die when infected so you have to be very careful. No matter how brand new the housing is, make sure you disinfect it, preferable two- three days before the chicks are transferred into the house

Quality & source of Chicks

This is extremely important, only buy your chicks from a reputable supplier, a supplier that is known to bring high quality low mortality rate chicks, they are usually a bit more expensive but trust me, that increment of 20 naira will save you from losing thousands in the future. Before you think about ordering the chicks do some scouting, ask questions from people who are already deep into the business, inquire about where they source their chicks. Then compare and choose the one with the lowest mortality rate.

Housing

When the chicks arrive they are usually a week old, in this stage they are very fragile, easily susceptible to disease & very sensible to temperature changes, you should not directly put them in that spacious house you planned for them. Instead put them in smaller, warmer cage, were they will be very close to each other to the extent they can feel each other’s warmth, so the small cage should be warm, ventilated but not too spacious with a heat source. If you notice they are too close to the heat source it means the cage is too cold, when they stay far away from it, it’s too hot, its preferable if they stay a bit spread out & not cramp in single corner to d extent of climbing on top each other. After two weeks in the small cage you can then move them to the main housing. Broilers poo a lot especially when they start getting bigger in size, so you will also need some good flooring, preferable it should be cemented, tiled or just put something that will not allow water to seeped through it easily, then get large pieces of saw dust from carpenters, Carpenters usually give it for free or small fee. Spread it on the flooring, this will absorb all moisture and it can easily be cleaned.

Feeding & lighting

Broilers like to eat a lot, that’s why they grow very big quickly, when giving them food make sure you put enough, do not be stingy, as the more food they eat they faster they grow. You can quickly sell them & bring in fresh ones. Provide a light system to the housing, you can use those large old style bulbs that can provide both light & heating or you can use the ancient kerosene lantern. You can get that form your grandma if she still keeps old stuff. You can also buy a new one at the market. The essence of the lighting is to allow the birds to keep eating even during the night. This will significantly increase their growth rate.

Vaccination

They are giving vaccine at certain intervals, usually after a week or two, the dealer will explain this to you when you buy the chicks from them. They also supply the vaccine, the vaccine is usually sold early in the morning, it’s very cheap & also depends on the number of broiler birds you have. I have about 200 in each batch so, the vaccine usually costs me around 500 naira. Remember before you give the vaccine avoid giving the birds any water the night before. This will make them consume the vaccine very fast when you give them in the morning as they are very thirsty. I stopped vaccinating my broiler birds in one of my batches course. Vaccination is very important especially when you are an upstart.

Check on them regularly

Whenever you get the chance, swing around and see how they are doing, in case you notice anyone being sleepy, sneezing, or acting out of normal immediately isolate it for treatment, give the remaining ones some antibiotics in their drinking water, the whole pack of the antibiotics should not cost more than 600 naira, it will last you at least a year or more as you only need to apply to the drinking water in small doses. Their drinking water should always be laced with some glucose especially if the climate is very hot.

Note

Broiler birds hate the cold, make sure you don’t expose them to it, their housing should always be warm, they usually mature & ready for consumption after 6-7 weeks, do not keep them longer than 10 weeks as they will start dying abruptly. Besides if you are really feeding them, at that time they will like so extremely large.

How to live a long, healthy & happy life

Ever wonder why they are a lot of elderly people in rural areas & they seem to be doing fine despite their old age. Some might even be able to ride bicycles, go to the farm despite being over 90 years old. These people don’t use some expensive cream or drugs they just follow a simple routine of life. Naturally a human cannot pass his predestined time of death, but before that time comes you can help yourself by having a full, healthy & happy life as opposed to waiting for death laying down powerlessly in bed. Some of the few things you can do to extend your life include

Avoid processed food

Nowadays majority of people prefer to eat ready-made food, because it saves time & is easier to cook, the problem here is different kinds of chemicals & artificial ingredients are used to preserve that particular food, it is not harmful in little amount (that is what the label on all processed products say). The more you eat the greater the effects on your body. The fact of the matter is, the agencies responsible for checking food quality don’t exactly do their jobs most of the time, this may be due to lack of funding, carelessness or they have been bribed by the said company to make sure their products are approved despite it failing several quality checks. Not only that, most processed food encourage weight gain and chronic diseases due to their high sugar, fructose & refined carbohydrate. It should also be noted that processed food have low nutrient and fiber content. So if you seriously want to see your grand kids & play with them, reducing your consumption of processed food as much as possible is a very good idea.

Exercise

Spending the whole day on the couch or your bed isn’t exactly a good way to live. Exercising frequently will boost your immune system, it will keep you active, happy & very confident of your body shape. No need to spend hours exercising if you aren’t up to it. A few minutes of rigorous exercise to circulate and pump blood around your body while making your heart beat faster than normal is enough.

Don’t over eat

When eating food, don’t overeat to the extent of getting over satisfied, when having a meal at any time we should control our appetite, when you feel about 75-85% full, it’s enough. Eating any more than that usually leads to overeating & finally falling asleep. The end result will be obesity.

Patience

A very patient person can survive a very long time, his stress level will always be low, so be patient in whatever you do. Majority of problems in this world are due to lack of patience. don’t be in a hurry to get that iPhone 7, it will find its way to you eventually.

Eat Natural & dink lots of tea

Natural food is good for you, when going grocery shopping get lots of fresh ingredient, always prepare your meal with natural & fresh ingredients. Tea has been known to contain polyphenols which is very kind to the extent of helping your body fight premature aging.

Kindness

This article is not encouraging you to be a bleeding heart. Just so you know being nice has nothing to do with allowing people to step on you. Try and lend a helping hand to others when possible. But remember when you see a person sitting in the sun, THERE IS A VERY GOD REASON THE WORLD PUT HIM/HER THERE. So make sure you investigate before helping anybody unless of course you’re a daredevil who likes to take unnecessary risks which may lead to your destruction.

Double Your Fruits & Vegetable Consumption

Naturally grown fruits and vegetable are loaded with lots of essential vitamins and antioxidants, which enhance the capabilities of your immune system that defends us against various disease. It also helps the immune system counteract the damages that are responsible for premature aging

Moderate your contact with technology

We are in the modern era, almost everyone has a mobile phone, which is very good as communication is made easier and faster. But this is fast becoming a curse as some people are so glued to their mobile phones, they sleep, eat, walk, drive and even visit the toilet with their mobile phones. Those little gadgets constantly release little amounts of radiation, which accumulates on your body since the phone is ALWAYS with you. Try and keep your phone for a while, interact with people face to face. You are not a machine, do not only speak or contact people through electronic gadgets. When walking/driving keep your phone away, watch where you are going, unless of course your planning to jump into a ditch or ramp into a wall, person or a vehicle.

Stop smoking

If the sign that says "smokers are liable to die young" on the pack of cigarettes isn’t enough to deter you from smoking, then you have some serious issues. Let me give you another reason, 10 years is a very long time right, well smoking reduce your lifespan by that much, it also paints your innards dark, you will look older than you are supposed to & be plaque with different debilitative illness during your old age, which ends up making you a burden to your family. So what do you think?, time to quite smocking right.

In fact, if you are a woman and your reading this article then you’re in luck, because you are on your way to shedding those pounds easily and getting a sexy, fit & awesome body. So let’s get started, to lose that fat you need to follow just a few simple guidelines that I will be listing below,

Diet

The first mistake most people who try to loose weight do is restricting their own diet to the extent of starving themselves, this technique is very wrong, although it may work for some time you can just keep eating vegetables and quarter servings of food forever just because you want to look skinny. What you need to do is change the way you eat your favorite food just a little bit. What does that mean? it means eat like a normal person would. Three times a day & on time. The adjustments you should make include

·         Replace the red meat with white meat if you can’t give it up, remember do not eat more than 5g a day.

·         Drop those sweet sugary snacks, in fact stay away from sugar completely till you reach your weight lost target.

·         Do not eat more than one egg a day.

·         When having breakfast lunch or dinner do not eat more than one serving.

·         Fruit (oranges, apples, watermelon, pineapples etc.) and vegetables are your friends eat lots of them.

·         Drink lots of water.

·         Always eat your dinner before 9 pm, after that no more food till the next morning.

Now if you observed all that, the next thing is

Lemon

This is one of the most important ingredient that we shall be needing for this technique, you can drink with tea, food etc. it can also be mixed with some warm water and honey, it has been proven to contributes immensely to weight lost. It also helps in treating lots of diseases.

Tea

Yes, there are lots of expensive slim & weight loss tea out there. That’s not what you need, the first kind of tea you need to start with is

Black tea:

The black tea must be completely natural, no any flavors nothing. this tea can be found anywhere in the world, it is also very cheap a whole packet costs less than $1, if you live in Nigeria or Africa I recommend Lipton & top tea (they are everywhere). They cost somewhere between 160-150 naira. Drink black tea as much as possible, just be the tea dude/girl. During my weight loss process, I actually used two tea bags for a single cup.

When making it DO NOT ADD SUGAR AT ALL, but add lemon, it’s very cheap & you can get over 10 pieces for just a 100 naira. This tea should be drunk at least 6-10 times a day or more.

Green tea

 It’s no secret that green helps in losing weight, it’s extremely effective. This is the second kind of tea you need to consume for a very long time (preferable 2 months),  Drink a cup before breakfast, also you need to take it at least an hour after every other meal but always drink at like two cups before you sleep. Remember do not add sugar, only add lemon. NO MIDNIGHT SNACKS. Green tea can be found in various normal shops & Shop rite across Nigeria. The complete 100g packet costs just 250 naira. The green tea must be 100% natural with no added flavor’s.

Oolong tea

 This is the most expensive kind & with very good reason. This should be your final weapon against that fat that plaques your body. Only start using it after the effects of the green tea in your body has a visible drop. The consumption procedure should be the same as with green tea. The first stage of usage should be the pure 100%  without sugar or lemon. If you still want to kick it up a notch, then add lemon to each cup you drink. Oolong tea cost somewhere between 1500naira-2000 naira ($7-8) per 500g pack.

RUN & JUMP

I did not say jog, but run, run at least 3-4 km every single day. Do not jump this schedule. You should continue with this even after you have achieved your targeted weight. Usually the best time to run is very early in the morning before breakfast. This distance is absolutely not that long as it only takes listening to like 2 good songs to complete it. I highly recommend this especially if you are a guy. The first time you do this you will feel like your heart is going to fall out after 1-2 km, don’t stop completely just slow down a bit then zoom off again. You should also jump at least 200 times when you come back from running, this will be good way to get those six (6) pack abs of our dream.

CYCLING

Get a bicycle if you can’t run, am not talking about a stationary bicycle. Get a real bicycle and cycle at least 7 km every day. Cycle like you’re in a competition i.e. extremely fast, preferable off-road where the sand will be heavy. If you’re going to cycle on road make sure it has a lot of slight ascensions here and there.

Note:

After achieving your ideal body weight stop consuming oolong tea completely, green tea (only once in a day) but get used to drinking black tea without sugar together with lemon. It will keep you from gaining those pounds back, please try not to go back to junk food and soft drink. Do not eat junk food more than three times a week, when drinking soda, it should take you at least 7 days to finish a 50 cl bottle. Don’t worry it’s doable.

Ladies & women only need to drink the tea regular and jump at least a 100 times every day, preferable with a skip rope unless you are in hurry to lose weight. Lemon can also be added to every dish you take, don’t worry, lemon plus food tastes great.

Guys should always add running and cycling to the above that I mentioned this is to prevent the slim-fat effects where the rest of your body is skinny and fit while your stomach looks like your about to give birth any second.

It should also be noted that all soft drinks, junk food & soda are prohibited during that period. As this is one of the main reasons for the excess fat and large protruding stomach. Well, good luck

Advantages of being overweight

Everybody has a certain lifestyle that suits him, makes him comfortable and confident in this wonderful world called earth. As long as what you are doing isn’t wrong, makes you feel guilty or uncomfortable then you’re on the right track to a wonderful life. But there are people who like to impose their own lifestyle on you, this can be really vexing especially if what you are doing isn’t morally wrong or harmful to them in any away. Being overweight or fat isn’t a bad thing as long as you can walk around, carry out your activities like everybody else. Majority of humans in this world consider being overweight as a disease, they dislike it, they prefer to be skinny and light as opposed to being oversize and heavy. I don’t agree with them unless if you are so fat and obese to the extent that it prevents you from taking part in everyday activities, like walking, running, doing your laundry etc. I am actually against a situation where you are allowing yourself to be so obese that you can’t actually do anything else except crawl to the toilet, eat food, sit on the couch whole day complaining to whoever will listen about discrimination due to your body size. I like people who are overweight and active, just like my best friend, he is very large, but extremely active and healthy. He even runs faster than me.

                Being overweight has countless advantages which a lot of people tend to overlook and only concentrate on its negative aspect. Some people are just jealous because you eat what you want, drink what you like, while at the same you are happy with the way you are.

Intimidation

A person with a large frame and excessive fat can be very intimidating. Take very good advantage of that, when you are going out for some burger or fries, make sure you put on that sleeveless shirt of yours with some dark sun glasses, then knit your eyebrows. Having an especially large tattoo on you arms multiplies the intimidation exponentially. I assure you nobody will provoke you, every stranger you meet will be especially nice and extremely polite. This is simply because he is imagining the kind of serious damage he will sustain in case you land a good punch on his stomach or face. How many bones will be broken when you sit on top of him during the fight. Even security officers will be very polite when addressing you. They will adopt and emphasize the word sir and please in very polite manner in for every sentence or statement directed at you. Business owners will always try to attend to you first as you stand out from the usually crowd at their shops.

Popularity

This is one of the most important advantage that overweight people possessed but they always seem to neglect it. Some even see it as marginalization.  When your overweight all eyes are on you everywhere you go. The people staring at you are attracted to the parts of your body that appears different from theirs. So if you own a business you should take advantage of that. Get a set of clothes that has your business logo, contact address and location. The human brain is easily distracted, so when stare at you, they also see your advertisement. Sometimes people even ignore their surroundings when staring at you. Say hi, when you do, they will be at lost for words and try to say the first thing that comes to mind which is around that area which in this case is your business ads, this way you get a new customer. Potential customers will easily find you when they reach your business area and can’t seem to locate your shop, they just have mention your size.

Survival

This especially true in a situation where you are stuck in a collapsed tunnel or there is suddenly a crisis which lead to blockade and scarcity of food.so If you are overweight and pleasantly plump, your survival rate is extremely higher than the average human because your body has stored the excess energy required to maintain your bodily functions. That means you can search for food & survive longer than the ordinary human. In case of natural disasters like flood and tornadoes you don’t have to worry about being easily washed or blown away by the force of nature. You will always be exempted from being suspect in almost all crimes, this is because majority of criminals in the world try to look like everybody else in order to blend in with the crowd.

An overwieght dude can easily walk this route without getting swept away

Respect from Everybody
