Well, it’s back to reality for us! We did the Back to School shuffle this weekend and picked up everything we needed to get Bunbun ready for her big day in first grade.

Back to School isn’t just for kids though. As parents, we get back to business as well. It’s time to clean the house and get all those snack crumbs out of the crevices in the couch and clean the floors from any left over juice spilled that we may have missed in a rush getting out the door to a playdate. With all the crumbs and sugar lying around, its sure to attract pesky ants and other unwanted bugs. One way you can help stop this infestation is by buying plants that repel ants and other bugs that you can situate around your home. Infestation means even more hard work for parents who then have to try and find a way to get rid of them. Most people decide to turn their attentions towards local pest control experts, maybe one that is similar to this terminix oregon company to help resolve their problems. You may only be required to do this if the problem is worse than what you initally expected it to be. If it is a large problem, such as an infestation of mice or larger animals who keep coming back to the home, you may want to contact a company such as Economy Exterminators to take charge of the issue at hand and prevent this from happening again.
