The How to Get Rid of Things Blog

Comments have been enabled. Sorry about any inconvenience this has caused. Those of you who have commented in the past may want to try posting your comments again. A function within Wordpress has been moderating comments without notifying me through email. They were all lost in the update. Rest assured your comments were not moderated because we didn’t find them informative or relevant. I feel secure in blaming this snafu on our robot overlords. Did I say overlords? I mean protectors.

It’s been a while since I’ve contributed to the site. I’ve been a bit of a hiatus, working on a new contributor inclusion system and a new business model. But that’s neither here nor there. You’re here to figure out how to get rid of flea beetles. It’s not easy, my friend. Flea beetles are one of the harder garden pests to control because of the variety, resilience, and mobility of these tiny beetles. In this particular article, I’ve attempted to cover the basics of non-toxic, organic flea beetle control. It’s important to keep in mind that the techniques detailed here aren’t just applicable to a flea beetle infestation. Most of these pest control strategies are what we call cultural controls. They’ve been used for a very long time to promote healthy gardens. In other words, much of the information in this article is common knowledge–things that a green thumb probably knows already.

If you’ve got any comments or suggestions, I would post them in the Gardening Forum.

Sorry for any inconvenience, or the amateurish look of this blog at the moment, but we’re updating all blogs to Wordpress 2.5, which will take some time getting used to. Thank you for your patience.

Guess what? We finally put the forums up. If you’re looking for advice or have some advice to offer and this stupid blog and it’s stupid comments weren’t helping you, then I would say go to the get rid of things forums and post your question/suggestion. The first person to post a topic gets a cookie. We will also be announcing something very special in the forums very soon, something I think you’ll all enjoy.

Don’t know what forums are for? Here’s a wikipedia article on internet forums to get you up to speed.

In high school, if I only got four hours of sleep in a night, I wore the next day’s fatigue like a badge of honor: “Look at me, I’m an overachiever!” But now that I’m in my twenties and no longer among the legions of overworked American teenagers, a night of paltry sleep can mean only one thing, and it’s nothing to be proud of. Insomnia. I’m lucky to be one of those people who only occasionally have trouble sleeping. But occasionally is annoying enough, and even we “good sleepers” are interested in how to get rid of insomnia altogether. On the other hand, if you suffer from frequent or chronic sleep problems, getting rid of insomnia is not just a hobby—it’s a priority. Lucky for you, my latest article is full of tips to help you get a good night’s sleep.

Squirrel, bushy tail or tree rat, whatever you call them they’re the cutest little nuisance this side of the rainbow (you just can’t beat those little flying monkeys). As cute as they are, most of us want them gone. Whether you’re a gardener, a backyard birder or someone who needs to get them out of the attic you’re in for a challenge. These little rodents are smart enough to put Bobby Fischer to shame. And therein lies the fun. After all, what’s life without a little sport? But just in case you’re not up for that kind of sport I’ve put together this article on How to Get Rid of Squirrels. In it you’ll find tips and advise on keeping squirrels out of your feeders, out of your gardens and out of your lives. And on the off chance that you actually like the little scheisters, there’s even a tip or two on feeding ‘em.

Not too long ago, a man named Michael came to me asking if there were any scientific references to the claim I made in how to get rid of mosquitoes about our ability to acquire an immunity, or should I say become desensitized to, mosquito bites. Well, in this article I’ve set out to answer that question and several more concerning the best ways to avoid mosquito bites as well as how to treat mosquito bites. There are so many products out there to help keep mosquitoes away that I took the time to do a bit of a product review in this article as well. You’ll see my top choices for mosquito repellents as well as some mosquito head nets. So head on over to mosquito bites before the peak season hits, and find out how to avoid mosquito bites or treat them if you can’t.

We all love dogs, and why not? They’re cute, intelligent and unlike almost all other pets, they give a damn. Just ask a dog owner, any dog owner, whether or not they think their dog knows when they’re feeling bad or sick. They know. And they want to help you feel better. That’s why dogs so quickly become an important part of the family. But if you’re not careful, they become a peeing on the floor part of the family. Sometimes it’s from lack of care, sometimes it’s from lack of pet ownership experience, sometimes you have an ill pet, and sometimes you just plain couldn’t get home in time to put Poochy out. Whatever the reason, dog urine stinks and you need to get rid of that odor. That’s where I come in…. and no, I’m not gonna come over to your house and clean it up for you. I will however give you a few tips on keeping dog urine off the floors and on the lawn where it belongs. If you already have some on the floors, I can help you with that too. Just check out the article Get Rid of Dog Urine Odor for some well tested urine-cleaning tips.

We are implementing a registration process for people who are wanting to leave comments or questions on the blog. The reason for this is the amount of time we’ve been spending wading through spam comments instead of responding to authentic questions. So, from now on, if you really want an answer to your question or you have a piece of information about an article that has nothing to do with milfs, dildos, and teens, then please sign up and tell us what you know.

We’re sorry if this is an inconvenience for many of you, but we’d rather be working hard to provide you with real answers and quality content rather than weeding through spam all day.
