Moths can be such a nuisance. And during the summer you can expect to see more of them flying around your house at night. Moth populations are much less active in winter, spending the colder months as pupae in dark, undisturbed places in our homes, WalesOnline report. David Cross, from pest control firm Rentokil, said: "In the height of spring, the days become longer and warmer, encouraging moths to come out of hiding and complete their primary goal in life: to reproduce. "Higher temperatures have been known to accelerate clothes moths’ reproductive cycles, making infestations more likely to occur." Mr Cross said if you can count five to six moths in a room, then it’s likely you are experiencing a serious infestation. He adds: "Washing clothes at high temperatures or having them dry cleaned are practical methods to help remove moth larvae from clothing. "However, this may not address the entire population." Where a moth infestation is most likely to occur: According to the … [Read more...] about How to get rid of moths from your home

How to get rid of Nicolás Maduro
APRIL 30TH DAWNED promisingly in Venezuela. Juan Guaidó, acknowledged as the country’s interim president by many democracies and millions of Venezuelans, appeared outside an air-force base in Caracas flanked by national guardsmen to declare that the end of the dictatorship was imminent. By his side was a leader of the opposition, Leopoldo López, who had somehow been freed from house arrest. His presence, and that of the guards, suggested that Venezuela’s security forces were ready at last to withdraw their support for Nicolás Maduro, who has ruled his country catastrophically and brutally for the past six years. Thus began two days of rumour, intrigue and violence (see article). As The Economist went to press the regime was still in charge and the generals were proclaiming their loyalty to it.

Yet this week’s events reveal that his hold on power … [Read more...] about How to get rid of Nicolás Maduro
How to get rid of the ‘Congratulations’ pop-up virus on your iPhone or iPad
If you keep getting pop-ups on your iPhone or iPad telling you that you have been "selected as a winner" for an Amazon gift card or a free phone, it's because you've got a virus on your device. This type of virus, known as adware, has been doing the rounds for years, and unfortunately it can be very hard to know where you picked it up. While it may seem like the pop-ups are coming from the website you are visiting, they are actually triggered by data stored on your mobile device and the browser you are using. So even if you close down the web page and relaunch your browser, the same pop-up may appear again a few minutes - or hours - later, while you are browsing a totally different site. The good news is that the adware is usually fairly easy to get rid of. What you should NOT do though, is click on the "close" button at the bottom of the pop up, as this could trigger an infection or redirect you to a scam website. Instead, you should close your browser immediately, and clear the … [Read more...] about How to get rid of the ‘Congratulations’ pop-up virus on your iPhone or iPad
