Bed bugs on the rise

What type of pest are you afraid of? When you travel overseas, you may be bringing back more than just a few tacky souvenirs. You may be harbouring bugs that end up infesting your home.Local pest control firm Pest Busters said it treated close to 250 cases of bed bug infestations in 2009. That's double the number of incidents in 2007. They attribute this to the increase in the number of people travelling.Pest Busters' assistant supervisor, Mohamed Amir Bin Yahya said, 'Nowadays, because of cheaper travel bed bugs are easily transported in. We've even had cases in 5 star hotels and big mansions.'So travellers should take extra care to check that their luggage and personal belongings are free of such unwelcome guests before they enter their homes.

Even if you keep your home spick and span, bed bugs may still nest as these pests can be brought in from other external sources such as from a trip on the bus or the cinema.All in all, I think we have to do our part in keeping our house spick and span and also to wash ourselves thoroughly after coming back from the cinema or from a holiday. We would not like to see pests crawling under our beds. Cockroaches are scary as they look disgusting and gives us the goosebumps. As we all know 'The Black Death' which was caused by the fleas in the rats' bodies, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. Lizards are scary as they look slimy and we have to use a lot of bug spray then we can kill it.If you want to know what is the most hated pest in Singapore, watch this video at http://www.razor.tv/site/servlet/segment/main/news/42898.html and vote for your most hated creature, or watch the Pest Busters at http://www.razor.tv/site/servlet/segment/main/search/?searchQuery=Pests+Busters&fromPageForCloud=searchPage&hiddenvalue=initial

Risque uses for school uniforms

Oh my gosh! A Raffles Girls' School uniform is going at $136.68, a Cedar Girls' School uniform is at $124.43 and a St Joseph's Institution outfit is going at $101.81. An eBay seller has been retailing uniforms from secondary schools and junior colleges here - but the catch is who his buyers are.

I think that what Sgskyboy and the overseas buyers did was a selfish act so Sgskyboy should stop selling the uniform instantly although he profits a lot from the sale and the overseas buyers should stop buying. They can respect their own uniform, can't they respect ours? These overseas buyers who buy the uniforms should put themselves in our shoes, what if someone from eBay come and buy their uniforms and sell it to people to attend Singapore's parties or function purposes. How would they feel? I think they would not like it either. All these are just my personal point of view people, I don't mean to offend anyone.

FAN FALLS ON COUPLE

What has the Town Council done? On the 21st of January, a ceiling fan in Fengshan Food Centre fell on a couple. The spinning blades had hit them both before crashing onto the table and then landing on the floor. The couple had just placed their grocery bags at the table when the accident happened. Fortunately, everyone at the hawker centre came to help immediately. When the podgy woman asked a bystander to summon an ambulance, he was already on his phone calling. Luckily, for the couple, the ancient fan was not on, or their heads would have been severed. I think the Town Council was very irresponsible.

If they had checked the fans regularly, this incident would have been prevented. After reading this article, I am touched by those people who have helped the couple in need. Yes! They have shown the Singapore spirit by helping others in need. After this freak accident, I hope the Town Council will be on their guard and do more checks regularly. I think we should be more cautious and not take things for granted. I used to sit under the fan as it is always very humid in the afternoon, but now I do not think I will want to do it again.
