Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Store the mask according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep your filters up to date. Inspect the mask regularly.

Answer: It is important that a gas mask is stored properly. Consult the manufacturer of your gas mask and ask how the mask should be stored. Try to store the mask in a sealed box. Place the sealed box in a cool, dry, dark place like a closet. Check the expiration dates on your filters regularly. If a filter has expired, dispose of it according to manufacturer’s instructions. You should also make sure you are up to date with the types of filters you might need, depending on the potential threats in your area. You should inspect your gas mask once a month to make sure the materials have not degraded. Check the seals on the gas mask and look for cracks or signs of wear. If you notice any cracks in the gas mask materials, you should have it inspected by a professional before depending on it during a disaster.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose an appropriate weed killer. Get rid of Wild Rose bushes in late summer, if possible. Follow the specific instructions provided with your chosen weed killer. Use a stump killer if you need to remove Wild Rose in winter. Wait several weeks before digging up the dead rose bush. Avoid using household chemicals to kill the rose bush.

Answer: Chemical weed killers containing glyphosate are an easy way to kill unwanted Wild Rose,  but you do need to be very careful not to let it impact the plants that you don’t want to remove.  Some chemical weed killers will linger in the soil so chose your weed killer carefully if you want to replant in the area soon after. Also make sure you choose a weed killer effective for use on woody plants. Late summer is the best time to apply weed killer to Wild Rose bushes.  It’s always best to remove the bushes before the hips set (in late summer or fall).  Choose a still day so the wind doesn’t spread your chemicals. Also try to pick a dry day with no rain forecast so rain doesn’t wash the weed killer away. It’s recommended that you avoid digging up plants in the winter as the ground can be harder to work with. It’s best to read the instructions for whatever brand of weed killer you buy in order to find out the recommended method. However, in most cases you can use the following approach when using a weed killer:  Protect other plants and the ground as required, perhaps using plastic sheeting. Wear protective clothing and gloves and consider using eyewear. Exclude children and animals from the area Spray the bush with the chemicals, making sure you saturate the base of the bush and the stem. Wait a few weeks for it to take effect. Re-apply if necessary. Some chemical weed killers are marketed as stump killers. These work best over the colder months when the sap isn’t rising (usually November – March).  To use a stump killer, prune off the branches and then saw the main stem of the bush down to a few inches from the ground. Apply the stump killer to the fresh cut wood. This will only work on living wood so if the bush is already dead or the stem you are applying it to is brown and dried out, it won’t have the effect of killing the rest of the bush. You may need to drill holes into the stem to get the chemicals to penetrate if it doesn’t seem to work the first time. Chemical weed killers should kill a plant right down to the roots so it cannot regrow even if the roots are left in the soil. However, you should avoid removing the bush for several weeks to ensure the chemicals have spread right through the plant’s root structure.  You will probably want to remove the dead plant after the weed killer has done its job. This is to prevent the dead stump from becoming an eyesore or trip hazard. As the dead stump won’t break down very quickly in the soil, you’ll want to remove the bulk of it in before you can replant the area. A mattock will help you to remove the root crown and stump from the ground a few weeks after treating with the weed killer. Some people will advise you to use household chemicals such as salt, vinegar or bleach to kill roses. However, this is not recommended as these chemicals are likely to contaminate the soil, making it difficult to cultivate the area later. Instead you should use branded chemicals intended for garden use such as Roundup.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase a pyrethrin- or pyrethroid-based home pesticide. Spray the pesticide anywhere you've spotted bed bugs previously. Use a fogger to disperse the pesticide throughout the entire room. Avoid using pesticides directly on or around your bed itself.

Answer: Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are types of chemical compounds that are lethal to many insects. You can pick up pesticides that feature pyrethrins or pyrethroids as active ingredients at most drug stores, or in the pest control aisle of your local supermarket.  Pyrethrins are naturally-derived, whereas pyrethroids are synthetic and have been designed to act like pyrethrins. Both substances share the same purpose—to obliterate stubborn pests like bed bugs. If possible, track down a product that contains both pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. This particular combination has been proven to work best for killing bed bugs and preventing newly-laid eggs from hatching. Apply the pesticide directly to the targeted area for 12-13 seconds, or just long enough to dampen the surrounding surface. Do this for every site that you believe may be harboring bed bugs. Once you've sprayed thoroughly, exit the room and allow it to air out for about 30 minutes.  Focus on places like baseboards, bedside furniture, lampshades, and nearby wall fixtures and hangings that tend to offer sanctuary to the greatest number of pests. Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are found in many household products, and are generally safe to apply indoors. Even so, you should always use as little as needed to get the job done. Overexposure could result in dizziness, headache, nausea, or diarrhea. If you're still not sure where the bed bugs are hiding, or if you've found them in more than one place, a fogger may be the most efficient option. Set the canister in the recommended location, then activate it and leave the room immediately. You'll need to keep your distance for the length of time specified in the directions.  Foggers are a type of pesticide application device that release a cloud of chemicals over a larger area than you could cover using a conventional spray. Don't re-enter the room before the fumes have had time to clear. By doing so, you could be putting yourself at risk of inhaling harmful chemicals. Although many pyrethrin and pyrethroid-based pesticides are approved for indoor use, it's still not a good idea to deploy them where you sleep. To flush out bed bugs in your mattress or box springs, try using a hair dryer instead. The chemical compounds in these products take longer to break down inside than they do outside, which means there's a chance they could linger and cause mild airway irritation or other uncomfortable symptoms.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Aim for eight hours. Wash your face. Choose the right pillowcase. Moisturize.

Answer:
If you are able to get seven to eight hours of sleep every night, you will begin reaping the benefits of beauty sleep without doing anything else! Good sleep helps prevent wrinkles and inflammation, stimulates muscle growth, and inhibits fat production. Make sure to wash the day away before bed. Residual dirt and makeup can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can help prevent wrinkles and damage to your hair.  Changing your pillowcase often is also advised, as it can accumulate dirt and oil, which can lead to clogged pores. If you want to maximize wrinkle-prevention, sleep on your back so your face has virtually no contact with the pillow. Your skin is renewing itself while you sleep. Give it a boost by providing it with lots of moisture before bed. For added moisture, try using a mask instead of a lotion or cream.
