Q: The following traps can all be improved by using bait. Most bait is simple sugar and yeast in the form of rotting fruit, sugar water, corn syrup, or alcohol. While most traps will get a few insects without it, insect bait will significantly improve your collection.  Overripe fruit, fermented foods (like beer-soaked bread), peanut butter, and sugar will attract many insects. Rotten meat will attract carrion like maggots and flies. A mixture or fruit, rum or beer, and sugar will attract many nocturnal insects. If you're serious about collecting insects, you can buy pheromones online or in major garden stores to attract males insects. Simple and effective. All you need is a plastic jar (like a peanut butter jar) or a soup can. Punch 4-5 holes in the bottom of your can. Dig up a hole the size of your can, then put the trap in so that the top of the can is even with ground level. Fill the trap with some dirt, leaves, and bait (optional), then wait for non-flying bugs to fall right in. A funnel trap requires little more than some scissors/knife and an old bottle. To make one, start with a soda bottle. While one liter is usually the easiest to work with, anything will do. Note, however, that this trap is not very effective in the rain. To make one:  Cut the top of the bottle off, starting just where it begins to taper in towards the cap. Discard the cap, cutting off the small neck of the bottle. Turn the tapered end (that you just cut off) upside down and place it in the bottle, forming a funnel. Adhere with tape if needed. Place bait at the bottom of the trap and wait. Bugs fly into the funnel but use the walls to escape, making it impossible to leave again through the center hole. This trap, though it seems simple, will capture a fair amount of insects, especially when used with bait. All it requires is a plastic bottle and a sharp knife:  Cut a small "U" in the side of the bottle, with the uncut side nearest to the cap. Pull the flap upward, so that there is an opening in the bottle shielded by the "door." Place bait in the bottom of the bottle and wait. Most insects cannot find the door to get out, especially if you use sticky bait like sugar water or corn syrup. This trap is effective in the rain, as the door prevents water from getting in. You can make your own flypaper with ease. Insects will be attracted to the sweet smell but unable to free themselves after landing. You can place the traps on the ground, though they are more effective when hung.  Take an old paper bag or piece of cardboard and lightly wipe the surface clean. Mix equal parts sugar, water, and corn syrup on the stove until blended. Cool the sugar mixture for a few minutes. Spread the paste on the bag or cardboard to finish the trap. The idea is simple -- you place a collection device (a pan, inverted umbrella, box, old sheet, etc.) under a tree or bush. Then you shake it. You can then collect the bugs that fall out with your hands or tweezers. This works best on smaller trees, or locations you know that there are a lot of small, flightless bugs.
A: Use the right bait to get the right insects. Make a basic pitfall trap. Make a funnel with an old plastic bottle to trap flying insects. Try a side-door type trap. Make homemade sticky paper to catch flies and other small bugs. Create a "beat sheet" to get lots of insects from bushes or small trees.

Article: It is important to discuss your plans with your doctor before you begin an exercise regimen. Your doctor can help you to decide what exercises will be best for you based on your age, weight, and any medical conditions that you have. Your doctor may refer you to a physical therapist if you have significant progress to make before you can safely exercise on your own. Weight-bearing exercises help your body to build more bone mass and maintain the bone density that you already have. Any exercise that forces you to work against gravity would be considered a weight-bearing exercise. Exercises like swimming and biking are not considered weight-bearing exercises because you are not bearing your full body weight on the ground. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise per day. If you find that it is too hard to do 30 minutes at once, try exercising for 10 minutes three times per day. Some examples of weight-bearing exercises include:  Walking Running Dancing Playing soccer Playing basketball Playing tennis If you are more focused on finding exercises that will not aggravate your joints, go for low impact exercises such as walking, swimming, and biking. These exercises will give you a good cardiovascular workout without causing too much stress on your joints. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise per day. If you find that it is too hard to do 30 minutes at once, try exercising for 10 minutes three times per day. Building strength in your muscles can also help to protect your bones and joints. Having strong muscles can actually help prevent osteoporosis. Make sure that you build strength in all of your major muscle groups, especially your core (back and stomach). Having a strong core will help prevent posture problems later on. Aim to do some strength training every other day. Your joints can get injured while you exercise, so it is important to protect them if there is a chance they might get injured. Common activities that can result in injured joints include rollerblading, skateboarding, and ice skating. Make sure that you wear elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards, and a helmet when doing any exercise that might cause a joint injury. You can also help to keep your bones and joints healthy by incorporating balance and stretching exercises into your exercise regimen. Yoga is a great option to incorporate balance and stretching exercises because of the many different types of poses. Look for a beginner’s yoga class if you have never tried it before. Vibration machines are shown to increase bone density in some cases. There is more research that needs to be done, but for now, there is favorable research showing that it may have some benefit for those that can’t engage in strenuous exercise or require something less stressful to their bones.  The main type of vibration therapy is called Whole Body Vibration (WBV). The person stands on a machine with a vibrating platform, using a railing for support. The intensity of the vibration can be adjusted; beginners should start with a low-intensity vibration and work up to higher intensities. You should not use vibration therapy if you are prone to blood clots, have a pacemaker, are pregnant, or have inner ear problems. Try to give yourself a day to rest each week so that you do not injure yourself. Your body needs time to repair itself after you have exercised, so listen to your body and do not push yourself too far in the beginning. Designate one day per week as your rest day or do something easy on that day like taking a leisurely walk or taking a short bike ride. Make sure that you care for your body immediately after your workouts as well. If your joints become inflamed, you can use ice to dull the pain and reduce swelling. Wrap a paper towel around an ice pack or a plastic bag filled with ice and apply the ice pack to your sore joints. Over-exercising can cause injuries and that may affect your progress. Talk to your doctor right away if you think you may have injured yourself while exercising.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Talk to your doctor before you begin an exercise regimen. Include weight-bearing exercises to build bone density. Choose low-impact exercises to protect your joints. Try resistance training. Wear protective gear when doing exercises that might injure your joints. Consider taking a yoga class. Try vibration therapy. Allow your body time to recover. Take care of your body after exercising.

Q: If you have had infestation problems in the past, make sure the equipment is far away from the source and clear of waste that may attract other insects. This can help to drain wastes away from the area and avoid contamination. Set a schedule to dump the debris whether or not the removal container is full. Keep all areas that are not in use free of dishes, waste and personal belongings. The walls, floors, ceiling and appliances should be free of clutter for easy cleaning.
A:
Move equipment away from locations that attract insects or rodents. Place the equipment nearby running water. Arrange the regular removal of food waste, peelings and scraps. Maintain an uncluttered environment at all times.
