Power Washing Pavement Professional power washing companies use tricks and tips that homeowners can copy. Examples include presoaking the surface with a low-pressure spray to loosen dirt before pressure washing.

Bed Bugs 101 What are bed bugs?  Bed bugs, bed-bugs, or bedbugs are parasitic insects of the cimicid family that feed exclusively on blood . Cimex lectularius, the common bed bug, is the best known, as it prefers to feed on human blood. Other Cimex species specialize in other animals, e.g., bat bugs , such as Cimex pipistrelli (Europe), Cimex pilosellus (western US), and Cimex adjunctus (entire eastern US). The name "bed bug" derives from the preferred habitat of Cimex lectularius: warm houses and especially near or inside beds and bedding or other sleep areas.
