Question by Ocean Queen: Where did the first lice come from and how did it reproduce?
I'm pretty clear on how they spread, their life cycles, how they feed and the hundreds of eggs that an Adult Lice (Head louse) can reproduce. I've pretty much become a Lice expert since I have had to deal with them and the children in my family. What I am most curious in knowing is how did the first lice get here? How did they evolve in so many if they can't live more than 48 hours without a host to feed on. It takes one to start it, but what if the first one was not a female and even if it was then how? This has been on the back of my mind for ages, I really hope someone can clear the water, Many thanks!!

Answer by cavyslave2000
First of all, you need to wash everything that her hair came into contact with in HOT water. Her bedsheets, her clothing, etc. Spray your fabric covered furniture with something that kills lice (google that to get the right product). You can get a prescription strength lice shampoo from your doctor.

Here's a tip: Lice will not survive the heat from a blow dryer. Everyone in your family needs to be treated, then blow dry everyone's hair with the hot setting.

Question by dvalleymom11: How do I remove fleas from my home?
We came home from a weekend beach trip and had tons of fleas in the house. I've been able to control them with carpet powders, sprays, vinegar water and vacuuming, however, I can't get rid of all the fleas. The affected animals have been outdoors since our infestation started so no new fleas have come into the house. I've done lots of internet research, but any proven suggestions on how to rid my home of fleas completely?

Best answer:

Answer by BearBear
You could try doing these steps:

1. Quarantine infested pets.

2. Collect bedding, rugs and throws and wash them in soapy water. Soapy water kills the eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. Be careful not to spill eggs or larvae when picking them up. Eggs are usually found with tiny pellets of dried blood that are defecated by the adults and used for food by the larvae - the combination looks like salt and pepper. Really gross salt and pepper.

3. Vacuum everything. upholstered furniture, carpets, cracks in the floor, bare floors, and use the attachments to get in the corners, behind doors, and anywhere else that dust collects. This will pick up most of the eggs, but larvae will latch onto carpet fibers and stick around. After vacuuming, immediately remove the vacuum bag and seal it in a plastic bag. This bag can then be put into the freezer to kill any fleas and be reused later.

4. The remaining larvae can be dealt with by having the carpets professionally steam-cleaned (the steam will kill every stage of flea except eggs). Make sure you warn the cleaners about the fleas and remove infested animals. Alternatively, you can shampoo the carpet with insecticidal carpet shampoo or have a pest control professional apply an infrared heat treatment to the carpet, which kills all stages of flea.

5. If your pet spends much time outside, drench his usual resting areas with lots of soap and water to drown any fleas that may be waiting for his return.

In order to keep fleas from inside your home, you also have to get the fleas off of your pet. (If your pet comes inside) To do that, follow the following steps:

1. Bathe one to two times daily with soap. Insecticidal shampoos are available but are not necessary.

2. Comb daily with a special flea comb designed to drag fleas out of hiding and dispose of any rousted fleas in soapy water. Record daily the number of fleas removed so you can identify any population increase before it becomes a problem. You can also measure flea populations by wearing a special pair of flannel "booties" over your shoes and pants. The fleas get caught in the material and can then be counted, removed and disposed of. These booties can also be used for temporary protection when traveling into a flea infested area.

I hope I could help you with this problem.

Just like plenty of other insects, the termite is reproduced thru the laying and hatching of eggs. In contrast to the common male / female dynamic that we, as humans, know, the queen of the termite colony can become impregnated with eggs from multiple colony members just so the society is kept going. Put simply, termites are not monogamous.

At maturity, a queen termite can lay a few thousands of eggs every single day. In some species of termites, the queen will really be ready to add an additional set of ovaries which will produce even more eggs leading to an enlarged stomach with increased fecundity which is the facility to make more eggs and produce more offspring.

Just like humans, queen termites will increase in size to just about 100 the times of her ordinary size. In the time of pregnancy when the female termite is full of eggs, she's effectively immobilized as is expected. What's a little funny about the pregnant queen termite is that while she's immobilized, she should employ the "manpower" of the employee termites to move her. Actually if she wishes to move from one place to another, it can take tons of employee termites simply to move her 1 or 2 inches. The better news for those employee termites is that their reward is a juice that's secreted from the queen's posterior. That is right, they're rewarded with a juice the queen termite gives them to drink which refreshes them and gives them something to anticipate. When termite eggs first hatch, they take the shape of sprites, which at last turn into different members of the termite colony. The biggest part of the termite colony is made of employee termites.

The wingless employee termites are blind and most sure to be found in termite plagued wood. Infantryman termites are sterile, wingless, blind termites whose only purpose is to protect the termite colony. Termite colonies also contain winged reproductives and extra reproductives all of which produce termite eggs. Winged reproductives use their swarm intelligence to swarm to a new location during swarm season, where they lost their wings and pair up to start a new termite colony. Extra reproductives serve as substitutes for the termite king or termite queen should one of them die. Sadly , termite eggs are produced at a worrying rate and 1 or 2 termites can reproduce into hundreds inside one or two days of time. At this point, those termite eggs begin to grow and then begin their eradication on your structures and / or crops.

Question by Ashley: How to safely clean up roach powder?
We moved into an apt. that has roach killer powder in the kitchen cabinets and in the bathroom cabinets. We are deep cleaning the place just in case, but I want to know the safest way to remove the powder (sprinkled directly onto the cabinet surface) so as not to get it on anything else or leave traces behind. Once it's removed, do you think it will be safe to cover the surfaces with contact paper?

Best answer:

Answer by GracieM
Vacuum up the powder, and clean the surfaces with white vinegar, a little dish washing liquid, and hot water. Once dry, you can cover the shelves with contact paper.
