Q: As adults, termites and ants can be easily confused. That said, the larvae of the two species are very different. If you’re uncertain if you have termites or ants, try to inspect the larvae if you can find them.  Termite larvae look like a smaller version of the adult worker and nymph termites; they have a separate, segmented head, legs, and antennae.  Ant larvae look like grubs. They have no legs or eyes, nor do they appear to have a separate, segmented head. They are also covered in tiny hairs. Like termite larvae, psocids (also known as booklice) are small and white. That said, booklice only grow between 1/16 and 1/8 of an inch long (between 1.6 and 3.2 mm). They do not feed on wood; rather, they eat the fungus that grows on wood, books, and other starchy objects in moist environments.  If you do not have any damage to the wood or other signs of termites, you may have found psocids instead of termite larvae. To be sure, take a few insects in to your local pest control. Places where psocids are found include books, newspapers, moldy foods and grains, old wallpaper, cardboard boxes, and other paper products. In comparison, termites are often found in walls, wood piles, stumps, crawl spaces, and other wooden areas. Termites are not the only insect to feed on wood. Powderpost beetles look distinctively different than termites. They have darker, harder bodies, and some may be covered with fine hairs. Powderpost larvae are white and C-shaped. They have tiny spines along their back. The best way to know if you have powderpost beetles or termites is to hire an exterminator. They may be able to identify the pest based on the pattern of damage they leave behind. Maggots are another type of larva, but they grow into flies instead of termites. Like termites, they are white with soft bodies. That said, unlike termite larvae, maggots do not have a distinct head or if they do, it is not visible. They may have legs, but the rest of their body is shaped like a tube. Maggots are often found in rotting material, such as old food or decaying plants.
A: Compare ants and termite larvae. Learn to identify psocids or booklice. Determine if wood damage was caused by beetles instead. Make sure they are not maggots.

Q: Since this recipe has so few ingredients, it's important to use the best quality available to you. Avoid off-brand jugs of white vinegar and opt for something quality in a glass bottle. Make sure it's white vinegar that's been distilled. Choose peppers that are bright red and evenly colored. Avoid gnarled and blemished peppers. If your local market doesn't sell tabasco chili peppers, or if you grow other kinds of hot peppers yourself, you can experiment with any of those.  If you're experimenting with different peppers, choose spicy varieties. Ideally, they should be red, but you can experiment with color, too. Good alternative hot peppers candidates are serrano, habanero, and cayenne varieties. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to put on a pair of disposable gloves before you begin. The pepper juice is very strong and can sting your skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the peppers, as well. Avoid touching your eyes and face while handing the peppers. Wash the peppers thoroughly with cold water to remove any dirt or debris. To remove the stems, simply cut off the top of the pepper, including the stem, with a sharp knife. Place all of the peppers, with the stems removed, into a food processor or blender. Turn the machine on and process them until they are roughly chopped. If you don't have either of those appliances, you can chop them roughly by hand.
A: Choose high quality white vinegar that's been distilled. Select fresh, ripened tabasco chili peppers without blemishes. Be careful when handling and chopping hot peppers. Remove the stems from the peppers. Chop them up by hand or in a food processor.

Q: The Battle Pike is a large pike designed in the image of a Seviper. Inside it are 21 rooms, grouped into sets of three. Going through 14 rooms in a row clears a set. Using 3 of your Pokémon, you must choose one of the rooms in a set in order to proceed. Based on your choice, you may encounter Trainer battles, wild Pokémon, having your Pokémon healed by the maids on duty, or a Trainer whose Pokémon will inflict a status problem to your Pokémon. The Battle Pike tests your luck in making decisions. Before you select a room, there is a maid standing near the rooms. If talked to, she gives a hint as to what to expect in one of the rooms. By heeding her advice, you can save yourself from unnecessary battles or have your Pokémon healed frequently. The main nuisance of the Battle Pike is to be afflicted by status ailments such as poison and paralysis, so it is recommended that you either carry useful berries (such as Pecha or Cheri Berries), or carry Pokémon that are immune to certain status ailments. For example, carrying a Steel-type Pokémon will avoid poisoning, as Poison-type moves do not affect Steel-type Pokémon. The Frontier Brain of the Battle Pike is Lucy, also known as the Pike Queen. She is encountered after you go through 27 and 139 rooms in a streak. This means that Lucy will be in the final room of the 2nd consecutive pass through the Battle Pike for the Silver challenge, and  in the final room of the 10th consecutive pass for the Gold challenge. Upon her defeat, she will award the Luck Symbol.
A: Know your facility. Pay attention to advice offered. Carry berries that can cure status problems. Defeat Lucy.

Q: Safety is obviously important when dealing with fire, but you’re also dealing with electrical charges and batteries, which contain dangerous ingredients.  Wear gloves. Although there aren’t many safety measures available in prison to make the infamous lighter from “Orange Is the New Black,” you’ll want to take safety precautions and protect your hands. Keep a fire extinguisher and garbage receptacle ready. If you need to dispose of batteries, be sure to recycle them. Some municipalities and states, like California, require batteries to be recycled, and your community might have battery collection procedures. Dispose of the battery immediately if it starts to leak. This could be battery acid, which is dangerous and corrosive. You don’t want a leaky battery.  Plus, you’ll need a charge to generate the flame. Most batteries will work, but a AA alkaline battery is common for this type of lighter and a good size. Use two batteries if possible, or a single 9 volt, because one AA battery might not provide enough power. This type of flame will start quickly and burn out quickly. So, have a flammable source on hand to transfer the fire, if you want to keep the flame going.  Sheets of loose paper, newspaper, or dry leaves will work well here. It is important to transfer the fire and not let the battery itself light on fire, since it could explode. On most batteries, this should be clearly marked. On a AA battery and other cylindrical batteries, the positive (+) end or terminal—known as the cathode—has a small convex bump, while the negative (-) end or terminal—known as the anode—has the inverse: a small concave indent into which the bump can fit.
A:
Take safety precautions. Use new batteries. Prepare a transfer source. Find the positive and negative ends of the battery.
