You would be forgiven for thinking that the only role of pests in a home is to annoy its occupants. The idea of creepy crawlies lurking in your cupboards, chewing through your clothes or nesting among the books on your shelves might seem like an unpleasant ordeal rather than a natural consequence of living in a house. However, there are many pest control services that can assist you with keeping these creatures from making your home their permanent residence. There are many types of pests that can invade and ruin your home if they aren’t treated proactively. These small animals and insects can cause extensive damage to structures, pose health risks and reduce the value of your property if left untreated. Here we will look at some common examples of pests encountered by homeowners and how to deal with them.

Rodents

The most common pests encountered in homes are rodents. Mice are the most likely rodents to find their way into your home. They are often brought in by food and materials brought in by people who have visited locations where mice are present in large numbers, such as factories. Rats are more likely to live in urban areas, although they can be found in agricultural settings as well. Both mice and rats can cause extensive damage to your property. They chew through walls, chew through wires and can cause significant structural damage, potentially leading to fire and electrical hazards. Ways to prevent rodents from invading your home include keeping your yard clear of food sources for them and sealing off points of entry to make it harder for them to find a way inside. If you do have a rodent infestation in your home, you should hire a professional pest control service as soon as possible.

Councils

Councils, or roaches, are another common pest that can cause significant damage to your home. Roaches can transmit diseases and are particularly dangerous to children and pets. They can leave a foul smell in walls if they die inside them, and the insects themselves can be an unpleasant sight. Roaches can be particularly difficult to eliminate, due to the fact that they are very good at hiding. They can be found in places such as bookshelves, inside walls and in the upholstery of couches and chairs. Roaches can be detected by noticing the insects themselves, or by seeing the excrement and stains left by them in a particular area of the house. To deal with a roach infestation, you’ll want to start by cleaning up any food debris and clutter that may be attracting them. Make sure to keep kitchen and bathroom cabinets shut tight to keep them out of these areas. You may want to invest in professional roach control services if you find that the pests are particularly widespread.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs can be found in any part of the country and are attracted by the carbon dioxide we exhale. Bed bugs are dangerous because they can cause itching and other skin issues in people who come into contact with them. They can also leave an unpleasant odor behind if they die in your home. You can recognize an infestation of bed bugs by the presence of live insects, dark stains on your sheets or mattress when you wake up and bites on your skin that itch and swell. If you have bed bugs, the best course of action is to call in a professional exterminator. Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to get rid of and you’ll be better off hiring a professional to do the job.

Termites

Termites are insects that feed on wood. They are usually found in areas with high humidity and can be particularly dangerous to wooden structures like decks and fences. If left untreated, termite infestations can cause significant structural damage to your property. Termites can be identified by the mud tunnels that they leave behind in wood. If you see mud tunnels and wooden structures covered in a black substance, you may have a termite infestation. If you believe you have a termite infestation, the best course of action is to call a professional exterminator. You’ll want to hire a company that has experience dealing with termites and can get rid of them quickly and efficiently before they do too much damage. You may need to have the wooden structures on your property replaced if they are badly damaged.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are another type of insect that can be extremely difficult to eliminate, especially if you don’t keep an eye out for them. These pests can thrive in warm, moist environments and are often attracted to areas where there is food and water. Cockroaches can be identified by their presence and the dark droppings they leave behind on surfaces. If you notice that there are significantly more insects in your home, particularly if they’re dark-colored and scurry away when you turn on the lights, you should call in a professional exterminator. To deal with an infestation of cockroaches, the first thing you’ll want to do is clean up the areas where they are likely to be hiding. This includes clearing out cupboards, drawers and other places where food and water may be present.

Conclusion

Pests can cause significant damage to your home and your health. If you notice an infestation in your house, it is important to deal with it as soon as possible. This will reduce the amount of damage the pests cause and make it easier to get rid of them. You can hire a professional pest control service to assist you in eliminating the pests from your home.

We understand how overwhelming, hazardous and unclean this infestation is to your environment and we want to bring you the precautions and remedy as soon as possible.

As a young man or bachelor, the worst impression you can make on a woman is having a dirty or untidy place. 

This is why even men who fall into the category of people who clean once in a while, automatically get into that rush hour cleaning mode when expecting a visitor. 

Sometimes it doesn’t even matter if you made the right first impression. The moment you falter in your consistency to maintain a clean home, you lose the attention of a woman gradually. 

But you don’t have to always be on high alert and be worked up every time you get a heads up for a visit. 

There are a couple of practices you can adopt to make sure you prepare your apartment to keep your girl coming. 

Come with us. 

Always tidy comfort areas after use

This is probably the most important and common one. Comfort areas like the bedroom, restroom, balcony, etc. These are areas where you come to for comfort or privacy. Regardless of your kind of relationship with your girl, she will definitely frequent these areas for comfort and it will speak directly of your level of hygiene.

So, whenever you use the restroom, make sure it’s clean before you leave. Make your bed whenever it’s scattered and clear the balcony of any litter. 

Keep furniture area free

The furniture and electronics area are among the major items of adornment in your sitting room, so why let it be messed up?

Make sure items like clothes, plates, pieces of jewelry, and trash are not found there.

This is simpler than it sounds actually. It’s just a basic decluttering technique in which you clear up whatever litter or trash after use. It is very easy but equally effective in making your life easier and appearing organized to your girl or lady ‘friend’ (we’re not judging) 

Always fold your laundry

This can do a lot in terms of clearing space and creating room for other items. Having your laundry sitting around exaggerates the level of litter and mess in your room which psychologically tricks you into thinking the task is huge but it isn’t. 

The best way to approach this is by folding them immediately.

If you have already been adopting one or two of these habits, you can add more to the list now and I assure you of a clean environment. Or better still, you can get an excellent cleaning service that caters to all these tasks and even deeper level cleaning at Vhjobs.

Don’t be that guy who loses cleanliness and in keeping a girl.

The knowledge of recognizing dirt and the ability to maintain cleaning and sanitize our environment is a gift humans enjoy and that is one of the major distinguishing features between us and animals. 

Owing to the recent changes in work culture and even life standards, we have worked or found ourselves spending more time at home in the past few months and this automatically affects our house maintenance habits.

Cleaning and keeping your environment clean can only work when it’s made to be a habit. There is a reason why we have both deep and light cleaning. The more often you keep to a minor maintenance routine, the easier it is to tidy your house and the more often it stays clean. When your house stays regularly clean, the easier and more refreshing your life gets.

We didn’t make the rules.

So, here are 5 important cleaning habits you need to adapt to make life easier for you. It has for us:

Find your most important and high traffic areas:

The most important areas differ depending on the people but in most cases, it is the high traffic areas where guests and people frequently pass or sit, like the front door, hallway, staircase, and other entrances. This is the first point of contact and impression for many people, so identify those areas and make sure it is tidied more often. Casually clean the areas every morning. It doesn’t have to be very deep and thorough so long as it is frequent.

Find a balance between work and house maintenance

Some of you want to maintain the routine of minor cleanings but find it difficult to keep up because work takes up more time or in the case of working at home, you litter your work stuff over other areas like the dining table, the sitting room, the bed and so on. 

Create a separate workspace specifically structured for work and you keep every work-related item there. Also, create a schedule that separates work and house chore time.

Always tidy comfort areas after use

This is probably the most important and common one. Comfort areas like the bedroom, restroom, balcony, etc. These are areas where you come to for comfort or privacy. Depending on your relationship with others, they might come there for comfort as well and it speaks directly of your level of hygiene.

So, whenever you use the restroom, make sure it’s clean before you leave. Make your bed whenever it’s scattered and clear the balcony of any litter

Want to make better outfit decisions and spin heads?

For most women, makeup and looking good usually come with the mood and the importance of the occasion. But regardless of what it is, you know when you want to impress that favorite person or create an impression on your crush or group of people.

We also understand the indecision that comes with picking an outfit, matching accessories, the venue, the distance, and many other elements. This gets overwhelming sometimes and affects the quality of the outfit you come up with. 

So, here we are going to talk about how you can plan your look and appear chic and generally attractive. So much so that you attract Mr. Right without trying too hard.

Stay with us as we share some tips that show you how to look elegant effortlessly.

As they always say, looking good is business and for that reason, you need to take everything about it seriously and plan it all through. 

Here are 5 steps to guide you through finding Mr. Right

1. Have your makeup planned and sorted a day before

It is not even new knowledge that makeup takes a bigger chunk of time when getting ready, especially for a special event or occasion. So, it is important that you figure out your tone and level of makeup a day before. And if you require some professional help to get your makeup done, tell us @vhjobs on Instagram. We have something for you.

Basically, get your makeup right in order to avoid a disaster. 

2. Figure out the venue/event

You don’t want to get all glammed up that day and start touring an entire area in search of a venue. That can ruin your day and makeup. 

Also, this is important because it helps you make an informed decision on what to wear. What you plan to wear for a beach hangout is different from what you will wear to a dinner date or a wedding reception. 

So, knowing the venue helps you make a better and more informed decision on what to wear and how to look.

3. The dress code

You need to know if there is a dress code for the event. Dressing in sync with other attendees helps you sync with them and easily bond with your prospective Mr. Right. Wearing something different signals rebellion or less interest and for many people, it might be a turn-off.

4. How do you want to look and feel

For us women, dressing comes with how we want to feel or express ourselves. 

Do you want to look sexy, glamorous, elegant, conservative, sophisticated, or any other way you feel?

This is important because it helps you form a mental picture of how you want to look and better informs or inspires your outfit choices.

If you plan on looking more glamorous, then wear a more attractive and glam color, a longer gown/dress with a more sophisticated neckline. If you want to look more conservative, then you cover more skin and so on.

It just has to rhyme with your mental picture, else you will e uncomfortable the whole day and it greatly impacts your ability to communicate with others.

5. Length  of dress

Some people prefer shorter and some prefer longer dresses. But regardless, there are places where length matters. For the sake of comfort, wearing a short and wide dress to the beach is counterproductive as you will mostly find yourself fighting off the wind’s intrusion beneath. 

You won’t feel comfortable all through.

So, let us give you a glimpse of dress ideas to find your Mr. Right for different event types.
