Ticks and mosquitoes arent just a nuisance, they can also be dangerous. When they bite people and animals they transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, West Nile Virus, Heartland virus, babesiosis, and dengue fever. To make things worse, these pests have growing populations due to increasing rain and warmer temperatures.

Senske Services' Pest Control division wants to help to lower the number of bites by keeping homeowners up-to-date on prevention methods. The company follows the National Pest Management Associations recommendations for insect bite protection.

1. Protect Your Skin: Always use insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus when spending time in areas where ticks and mosquitoes hang out. Its also a good ideas to wear long sleeves, long pants, and light colors.

2. Conduct A Daily Check For Ticks: Ticks can be removed with tweezers. But first they have to be found. To the naked eye, ticks will appear to be about the size of a poppy seed. Its important to find them as soon as possible after outdoor activity to keep any possible disease from spreading.

3. Protect Pets from Exposure: It isnt always easy to control pets when theyre out for a stroll. But when walking a dog or cat, it is a good idea to avoid areas of tall grass. After they return from walk in areas where ticks have been found, pets should be inspected for ticks.

4. Inspect Your Property: Protect yards from mosquitoes by eliminating standing water, which mosquitoes use to breed. In addition, keep outdoor play areas and patios away from shrubs and brushes where mosquitoes also tend to congregate. Taking simple steps such as placing wood chips between the lawn and wooded areas can help to deter ticks.

Senske Services promotes the idea that homeowners can continue to enjoy the warm summer days while also protecting themselves from potentially dangerous bites from ticks and mosquitoes. While Senske does not treat for mosquitoes, the company does treat for ticks.

The gang threatened to cut a mans ears off as they demanded valuable jewellery in the latest in a series of raids targeting Asian families in north Manchester and Salford

A gang armed with machetes and knives threatened to kill a couple and their three children - including a one-year-old baby - in a terrifying raid.

They also threatened to cut a mans ears off as they demanded valuable jewellery.

It is the latest in a series of raids targeting Asian families in north Manchester and Salford.

In the latest attack, four masked men smashed their way into the familys home in Broughton Park, Salford, through patio doors.

They burst in at 1am today leaving Asma Asham, her husband, Nazir, and their children, aged eleven, nine, and one, petrified.

In a raid which mirrored six others in the Cheetham Hill, Salford, and Blackley, areas in the last two months they threatened extreme violence.

The gang escaped with jewellery, watches, phones, and stole the familys black Honda Civic car.

Two of the gang escaped in the Honda and two others fled on foot.

During the raid a necklace was pulled off from Mrs Asham and threatened to slice her husbands ears off.

Optimized palette reflects colors consumers actually want to live with

We found in our research that while consumers are generally confident about what color family they want, most experience a great deal of difficulty in selecting the exact shade to put on the wall, said Rob Horton, PPG director of marketing, architectural coatings. The new color palette for Glidden paint was thoroughly researched to make color selection less daunting and to help consumers clearly visualize how each color will work in their homes.

To arrive at the 488color palette, the Glidden paint color team extensively researched what customers really want and how they process color. They sorted through tint sales data, reviewed website traffic, and studied color sample movement throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico to assess customers purchasing habits. For example, the team found that the neutral color family accounted for 60 percent of Glidden paint sales and so ensured that it had a starring role in the new color palette.

The Glidden color team also scoured social media websites such as Pinterest, home and decorating publications such as House Beautiful, Elle Dcor and Veranda, and catalogs from retailers such as Crate & Barrel, IKEA, and J.Crew to get a sense of trending styles and the different ways people are incorporating color into their homes. They created an inspiration board for eight featured color families and filled them with magazine and catalog clippings that helped evolve and shape the new color palette. As these inspiration boards are a reflection of the Glidden paint customer, the color team was able to make direct connections to how customers actually use color in their lives.

According to Barbara Richardson, PPG manager of color marketing, All of these connections allow us to truly understand the way people incorporate color into their homes and the reasoning behind their color choices. Our customers are very important to us, so the insights we gather from our research are used directly to build our color program.

In addition, a new retail display will feature the eight color families, divided into three groups to provide simple navigation toward the perfect color selection. The Glidden paint color chips have also been revamped to help consumers with the color selection process.

Each chip displays a photograph of a room in the featured color to help customers visualize what the paint would look like in their home; a step up and a step down hue to help consumers pick just the right shade; and recommendations for coordinating colors.

The Better Color Palette:

Each color family is organized into three groups to further simplify color selection for consumers:

Horton noted, Weve given the new Glidden paint color palette a great deal of thought, and we are confident that this will really help consumers color selection process and give them the colors theyll love living with.
