In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can purchase a greenhouse kit from gardening companies that will contain almost everything you'll need to plant bamboo seeds. The kit will have a holding tray, a number of peat pellets, labels, and a lid to create the greenhouse effect.  This is a great way to grow bamboo seedlings all year round and in an indoor setting. The greenhouse that you purchase does not need to be specifically made for bamboo growing. Kits come in a variety of sizes from 6 plants up to over 70. A 50-plant greenhouse measures approximately 11 by 11 inches (28 by 28 cm). Your odds of success will improve if you choose a greenhouse with space for 50+ plants. After you buy your greenhouse, you'll notice that each pellet is already positioned in its own indention. This means that the greenhouse is ready for planting with almost no setup required. Get a pitcher and pour water into the holding tray until each pellet is halfway saturated. You'll need to adjust the amount of water that you use depending on how many pellets you need to cover. It's okay if the tops of the pellets get wet during the pouring process, as long as they are halfway covered.  Check any diagrams and instructions on the greenhouse package before watering or planting. Some greenhouse kits even come with self-watering setups. You might need to fill a large basin with water. Then, the basin will feed into a watering mat under the pellets, reducing your watering intervals. Another option is to remove the pellets and place them into a rectangular metal cake pan. Then, pour boiling water over the pellets until it reaches the halfway point. The high temperature of the water is supposed to help sterilize the pellets. The ideal water temperature for watering your pellets is 10 to 15 °C (50 to 59 °F). You can also use distilled water for your seedlings to minimize any contaminants. Watch as the pellets begin to absorb the water almost immediately. Make sure that they are fully expanded within the containers and add a bit more water if any of the pellets seem to lag behind. Once the pellets are finished expanding, carry the tray over to a sink and drain away the remaining standing water. Your goal is to get the pellets to a state of dampness, but not sogginess, or they might lose their structure.
Summary: Buy a miniature indoor greenhouse. Submerge the pellets halfway under a layer of water. Let the pellets soak up the water for 5-10 minutes.

Baits are one of the safest and most effective ways to eliminate roaches. They work over an extended period of time and can either kill roaches directly (when roaches eat the bait) or indirectly (when roaches eat the poisoned feces or corpses of those that have already sampled the bait).  You can purchase baits in the form of small containers filled with bait (bait stations) or dispensable gels. A variety of bait gels and baited traps are available from most hardware stores, drug stores, and supermarkets. Common brand names include Avert, Blue Diamond, Combat, and Max Force. You can make effective baits out of a variety of household ingredients. Try one of these bait recipes:  Mix small, equal portions of white flour, cocoa, oatmeal, boric acid, and Plaster of Paris. Mix 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of citrus pulp, ¾ teaspoon (about 4 ml) of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of corn meal, and ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) of boric acid. Bait mixtures containing boric acid should be kept out of reach of children and pets. Bait stations are most effective if set up in areas where cockroaches are known to gather, such as cabinets, the spaces behind and under appliances, and areas where food and moisture are readily available (such as bathrooms and kitchens).  Avoid leaving your bait stations out in the open. They are more likely to be effective (and less likely to be found by pets and children) if they are placed under or between appliances, in dark corners, and inside cabinets. If you made your own bait, put it in a small container, like a shallow bowl or a plastic food storage container lid, and place it as you would a commercial bait station. Bait gel is ideal for cracks and crevices where cockroaches like to hide, but where regular bait stations will not fit. Since bait stations serve as food sources for roaches, they will become empty quickly in areas where roaches gather. Empty bait stations can serve as hiding places for cockroaches.  How quickly your bait stations become empty will depend on how many roaches you have. Commercial baits may include instructions to replace your baits every 3-6 months, or more frequently if roaches return before the recommended period ends. If you make your own baits, inspect them every few weeks and replace them once the bait is depleted or cockroaches begin to reappear. For baits to be effective, they must serve as the roaches’ primary food source. Clean up and put away food in areas where your traps are set up.

One-sentence summary -- Purchase some baits. Make your own baits. Place bait stations in identified problem areas. Use bait gels in small spaces. Change and replace your bait stations frequently. Make sure other food sources are not available.

Problem: Article: It's rare to be allergic to fire ant stings, but if you are, you'll need to get medical treatment immediately. Swelling and pain are normal, but if you have these symptoms, get to an emergency care center or hospital immediately:  Hives, itching and swelling in areas other than the place where you were bitten. Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing. Swelling of the throat, tongue and lips, or difficulty swallowing. Anaphylactic shock, which occurs in the most severe cases, can lead to dizziness, blackout, and cardiac arrest if not treated right away. Your allergic reaction will be treated with epinephrine, antihistamines or steroids at the hospital to stabilize your symptoms. If you know yourself to be allergic to fire ant stings, you might already be carrying an epinephrine shot, commonly called an epi-pen (epinephrine). Inject yourself or have a friend help you, then proceed to the hospital.
Summary:
Consider your symptoms. Seek treatment.
