The Zika Virus Organic Solution For Little Money

With diseases increasing through mosquito transmission we must take a look at the facts and help our families the best way possible.  The solution that I am proposing will help greatly.    There are so many things happening out there and we need to stop the progression of the destruction of our health starting with stopping these very devastating diseases.  This virus has come to the United States and now we need to look at this closely.

One really important solution to stopping this virus is to let bats fly through the air and eat up all those nasty mosquitoes.  This solution is free and effective unless you have to make a bat house to keep them on your property, but that is not very costly, here is a link to help protect the bats with bat houses, Build A Bat House.  You can also find bat houses on Amazon here, Deluxe Bat House as low as $30.00.  People don't usually like it when a bat flies too close to their homes or yards.  However, if we will only allow them to eat the mosquitoes then we would be better off.  Don't kill them when they are around.  They don't care about people, just mosquitoes.  A bat will not harm a person unless it is a vampire bat...oh boy.  But we do not have vampire bats where I live.  I have had a bat in my house on a few occasions and they have never cared about coming after us, they just want to find a way out.  So get them toward the front door and if you can't, turning on a light will help.  They do seem to fly towards the light.  This is what helped me to get a bat out of our house quickly.  Even if you have a two story which I do, then turn on a light where they are and where you want them to go and they will find their way but block off other rooms or they will want to fly into adjoining rooms or rooms with doors open.  So shut all doors also.  Easy as can be once you have some experience with this.  It seems intimidating and it can be but it isn't too hard to do, even with just one person.  Although that can be a little bit challenging.  You CAN do it!   


When the rains come you can also keep the mosquitoes from breeding by not allowing any standing water to remain after a rain.  But it's not always possible to keep the mosquitoes from breeding as they will also breed in the grass after a rainstorm.  This is where people want to use chemicals but I say don't use this method as it will destroy the health of the person using it and children.  If need be, stay indoors after a big rain and don't schedule any events if you know there is an abundance of mosquitoes outside.

Another solution is to get on your knees and pray.  This is the most effective thing that we can do.  Just don't forget to have faith when you pray.  He will hear you and he will answer.


Stay safe outdoors, you can still have fun when you need to bring the party indoors.  Protect your little ones, pregnant women and the elderly.  We can find ways that are quite effective in keeping us safe.  We just need to look into it and do the things that are advantageous for our families and ourselves.

Learn To Declutter Wisely!

We can all say that we have too much stuff!  That seems to be a given.  Some of us have already begun to get rid of the clutter in our homes, but for the rest of us, this will be a journey.  Thanks to all of the information online and some of my own experiences, I can pass the information along to you and I hope that you find it helpful.  If we could only get rid of the clutter in our homes, we can sell what we have in a yard sale that will bring in a little bit of cash.  The cash that we gain from our old stuff can be put toward something that we need.  This is not to buy more stuff, but to put it toward the things that are important to us and our families.  Some examples could be to buy some clothes for our kids from the thrift store.  Avoid the department stores and stores in the mall that are too high priced.  Another idea is that it can be put into a piggy bank to save for something bigger.  Saving it can help with more costly purchases or to get gas for the family vehicle, or can even tackle part of bigger bills.  For example, I have not recovered money through yard sales yet but I am getting things together to accomplish it.

How To Sell Used Items

1.  Keep prices low.  They will not buy items if they have to buy a very gently used item for almost what it costs in the store.  People are looking for deals so just think realistically about what you are selling and don't get attached to these things.  That is what I have done and learned the hard way.

2.  Clean up your yard.  This will  help attract people to your home.  They will know that you have taken care of the items in your home if your yard looks neat and clean.

3.  Make sure your items for sale are clean also.  Everything looks more valuable when cleaned up.  This is especially true for bicycles.  I have seen that a bike that collects dust looks like you can't even give it away but a nicely cleaned up bicycle can possibly bring in a little more money, if it is still in good shape anyway.

4.  Remember the box marked "Free".  If people are looking at the free box then they will stop and take a look at other items also.  Make sure they are nicely placed on a table so people can look through an organized pile of clothes, purses...etc.

In summary, getting rid of the clutter in your home can motivate you by selling it or giving it to a thrift store or charity.  You will have more room to move and breathe.  It will feel good, like a breath of fresh air.  Keep it in check and don't let it get out of hand.  Don't throw anything away that can be used by someone else.  If it is in good condition and still has some use in it, then make sure it gets a new home as long as you no longer need it.  That is the wise way to get rid of the clutter in your home.  Every little bit helps.  Don't let it get overwhelming.  An hour a day can do wonders when there is no time to tackle any large task.  Tell me what you think. Include any of your own experiences.   Leave a comment and share your ideas.
