Whether it's a male yeast infection, a vaginal yeast infection, a skin yeast infection, a severe yeast infection of any kind I suggest you read this. I had a recurring vaginal yeast infection. I saw my doctor and after 2 creams and a round of antibiotics I still had it come back. I searched the internet I found an alternative cure for this chronic yeast infection. If anyone is interested the site helped me a lot. <a href="http://www.tackle-that-yeast-infection.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.tackle-that-yeast-infection.com</a><br /> Li </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/black-flies-attraction#post-1919 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:54:12 +0000 shuler2 1919@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I have a family cabin in northern Michigan. It was built with industrial recycled plywood. The plywood, as best we can tell, was saturated in an oil substance. The cabin is like a fly home - attracting thousands of flies that somehow find their way into the inside of the cabin.</p> <p>We are trying to determine what is attracting the flies. Is this common in northern Michigan or could it have something to do with the plywood? We set insect bombs off all the time but they keep coming back by the thousands.</p> <p>Looking for any help or advice. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/carpet-beetles-larvae-are-almost-indestructible#post-1915 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:58:55 +0000 miko 1915@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I found carpet beetles about a month ago but failed to adequately ID what they were and after destroying that area they were living in I thought I was in the clear. Little did I know nor realize this was just the beginning. I now found another area loaded with them and after much research found this site and I now realize that all this talk of moth balls and cleaning may not be enough. Does anyone know if you soak the itmes in tap water overnight if that kills them? Also if putting items in plastic bags and not touching for a month will kill them similar to scabies/lice treatments? Also what about microwaving the items for a few minutes(toys,small cloth items)? If not I think I will follow lucky83 and do some experiments myself,,, if I have any larvae still around which I'm guessing I will once I start looking through everything. Thanks, for helping realize this is serious business. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/killingpreventing-possible-bedbugs#post-1914 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:51:52 +0000 samoya22 1914@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I hadn't thought of the bleach tip or the coin laundry stuff, but I agree with everything Getagrip says. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/killingpreventing-possible-bedbugs#post-1913 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:26:25 +0000 getagrip 1913@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>There's an old saying that goes.."No good deed goes unpunished".

I launder donations at my home for a volunteer organization to be brought back when they are clean. With the bedbugs on the rise, I want to protect myself from getting them, despite having lots of used clothing coming through my home. Would sealing them in bags for a set amount of time kill them? How about freezing them? How long can they live without a host? If I kept the bags of donations in the garage, would the bugs travel far from the bag if they managed to get out in the garage? Do they live off cats, too?

Java is good. It makes the internet much easier to use. The problem is, it also makes the internet more dangerous, because people use Java to attack you the same way they use any other platform. So, tell Norton it's okay if there's a little Java on the page and then cease all visits to shady porn sites or sites claiming to have the latest nude pictures of (insert celebrity here). </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/yellow-jackets-in-the-basement-1#post-1888 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:19:33 +0000 samoya22 1888@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I couldn't stop laughing when I read this: "currently have 3 silver x's adding to the basement wall decor."

This is (as all other treatments are) a contact agent only - i.e., it only kills the bugs that are sprayed directly. Once the soap solution dries, it is no longer effective. I use household-strength orange cleaner sprayed with a garden-sprayer attached to the garden hose. I spray the soap solution directly on the bugs crawling outside walls of the house, sidewalks, ground at the base of the tree, the tree trunk and lower branches, and their nests. To attract large numbers of bugs to a small area, I made a small, dense pile of box-elder branches, twigs, leaves and seeds near the base of the tree and left it for several weeks. This attracts thousands of nesting box-elder bugs, then I spray this heavily infested nest and throw away the treated debris. I sprayed several times a week during the summer to bring a fairly heavy infestation under control. I was careful to use as little spray as possible on the ground and protected nearby flowering plants, shrubs, bird-feeders, etc., from the spray. </p> <p>This method is most effect when used with other methods of controlling the box-elder bugs (controlling nesting areas, keeping the tree base-area free of fallen seeds, leaves &amp; branches, etc..). </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/getting-rid-of-tongue-canker-sores#post-1882 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:41:50 +0000 getagrip 1882@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>Yep and good old Listerene has 26.9 % alcohol no wonder you felt better, hey next time pick up a six pack. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/sovle-worms#post-1881 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:37:22 +0000 getagrip 1881@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>Oh!!

And as for these particular stinkers - haven't seen one for three days... so we;ll see. For the record - the method used: drilled hole in wall- tape with duct tape as drill bit was removed (while sporting thick leather work gloves, long sleeve/hooded sweatshirt long pants and hat) 3 holes were done this way, one at a time. (and yes its new drywall - installed less than 1 year ago).<br /> Then popped the mustard bottle nozzle through the duct tape, puffed several squeezes of the sevin dust into the wall, and prior to removing squeeze bottle nozzle, had more tape at the ready to cover the hole. currently have 3 silver x's adding to the basement wall decor. Also wiped up sevin dust that poofed out of the mustard.<br /> and no - no we don't love yellow jackets - period. although i hope they enjoyed their last picnic.<br /> and no - i won't be using the mustard.ketchup bottle set for my next pic-a-nic. currently the mustard one is reserved - just in case its needed again. So unless i have more run ins with those dang things - i'm out.<br /> and thanks again for the suggestions.<br /> MZ </p>
