Health and Muscle/Fat Weight must go hand in hand:

I will start with the explanation of some foods and what their benefits are:

Citrus fruits contain vitamin C in abundance. Vitamin C is known to dilute the fat present in the body. This leads to their easy and fast release from the body. Therefore, all citrus fruits come into the group of foods that burn fat. The examples of citrus fruits are limes, oranges, guava, grapefruits, lemons, tangerines, etc.

Apples are commonly recommended to aspirants of weight loss or fat loss. It owes its fat burning property to one of its components, called pectin. It is found in its peel. Pectin assists in fat burning by mainly two ways. First, it restricts the absorption of fat by the body cells. Secondly, it promotes the absorption of water from the food by the body cells. This in turn, helps in the release of fat deposits from the body. Fruits like apple, papaya, cranberries, blueberries, kiwi, strawberries, mango, water melon, and pineapple also contain pectin. Hence, fruits top the list of foods that burn fat and boost metabolism.

Pulses help a lot in making your body lose fat. This is because they have high a content of protein. On ingestion, proteins stay in your stomach for a longer time. It benefits you in two different ways in belly fat burning. Since it takes longer time to get digested, it gives you a feeling of fullness for long. This prevents you from eating more than required. Secondly, proteins need more energy for digestion, making your body work extra and expend extra. As a result, it leads to fat loss from the belly region as well as other parts of your body.

Chilies, Horseradish and Cheyenne contain a substance called capsaicin, contain substances that stimulate our body to release more stress hormone, which in turn causes fast consumption of fats. Capsaicin is thermogenic in nature. It means that your body has to work for 20 more minutes for digesting capsaicin in comparison to regular food. In other words, your body has to expend more calories for digesting chilies due to the presence of capsaicin. Hence, make chilies a part of your usual diet to lose fat from your belly and other parts of the body.

Nuts find a place in the list of belly fat burning foods because of their ability to make you feel full for longer periods of time. They are also believed to encourage consumption of fat in the body for energy generation.

According to scientific studies, cinnamon can accelerate the rate of metabolism of sugar by 20 times. This results in lowering the level of blood sugar in your body. Hence, cinnamon is one of the foods that burn calories. Have ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon daily. You may take it as a flavoring agent to enhance the taste of milk, smoothies from your blender, tea, etc.

Ginger and Garlic are other examples of food that burn belly fat. They act as a vasodilator in your body. It means that it expands the blood vessels. Ginger & Garlic increases body heat and speeds up the rate of metabolism by almost 20%. This is why you feel warm after having ginger or garlic in food or beverages. To add to its fat burning ability, ginger and garlic also promote detoxification and blood circulation in your body. Thus, you can say that ginger and garlic are two of those foods that burn bad cholesterol; remember that Cholesterol is the most important hormone in your body; on of its purposes is to help form the cell walls. Their regular consumption strengthens the immune system as well. Therefore, you must try to include them even in minute amounts in your daily diet to get a fast metabolism and weight loss.

Lecithin is a naturally occurring chemical that assists your body to prevent cells from accumulating fat. In order to make use of this particular property of lecithin, consume food having high amounts of it. An example of such foods are; fatty meats such as beef, liver and eggs. Have at least 250 gm of fatty meats such as farm raised grass feed beef, liver and farm raised eggs a week to shed the fat that keeps flagging around your belly.

Potassium is a mineral that is required by your body to regulate its water balance. In addition to this, it boosts metabolism. Since a fast metabolism is necessary for fast consumption of stored fat deposits in your body, you should increase the intake amount of potassium. Have food rich in potassium on a regular basis. Some examples of potassium rich foods are bananas, non-processed milk, oranges and Rejuvenis Potassium capsules.

Asparagus is known for its natural fluid flushing effect and fat cell breakdown promotion. Both these properties make asparagus work wonders in burning belly fat in people who are obese due to water retention or bloating. Vegetables are high in fiber content but low in starch are thermogenic in nature. This means that they make the body burn calories for about 20 minutes or so after their consumption.

Vegetables are high in fiber content but low in starch are thermogenic in nature. This means that they make the body burn calories for about 20 minutes or so after their consumption. This makes them a great metabolism booster. In addition to this, vegetables have generally high content of fiber and water, which further help them in increasing metabolism of the body. The examples of such vegetables that are among the category of foods that burn fat and boost metabolism are cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, cucumber, radish, onions as well as the afore mentioned asparagus, etc

Vinegar lowers the blood sugar by 30% and this speeds up your metabolism; also it has a special property of slowing down the digestion of starch that gives it a place in the list of foods that burn fat and boost metabolism, great on your salads as well as on many other foods as well as drinks from the blinder.

In the chemical pharmaceutical science industry they have failed to recognize the importance of Mother Nature; man cannot reproduce Mother Nature. For example there is no such thing as a multivitamin in Mother Nature; when you see a vitamin that says it is a multivitamin, run the other way. People who choose to take these are because of the many years of misguided information from the biased mainstream news, who make most of their money from pharmaceutical companies and guess who makes synthetic vitamins? You guessed it, Big Pharma. Please remember that No health regime is worth doing unless you feel the difference in your life permanently. Taking synthetic multivitamins on a daily basis can cause serious problems due to the fact that they begin to interfere with the uptake of natural vitamins derived from raw foods or natural supplements from a reliable source like the Rejuvenis Brand. Some sensitive people may actually have an adverse reaction to the synthetic vitamins because the body will reject synthetics, just look at the side effects from synthetic drugs; that is the body's signal to you that you must stop putting the synthetic stuff in it, it wants Mother Nature. Scientists have chemically reproduced sea water but when they put fish in this synthetic sea water they all died. Just like the science that produced the sea water was flawed, today many respectable people insist that synthetic and natural vitamins have identical molecular and chemical structure. Thus, they insist that synthetic vitamins are just as effective as natural vitamins. For your health's sake, please listen carefully. When we're speaking of products that contain the total complex family of micro-nutrients (known and unknown) just as they are found in nature that is what you should be putting into your body, not the synthetic mistakes from some chemist. Mother Nature’s micro-nutrients are indispensable for proper vitamin absorption and maximum utilization and they cannot be reproduced in a laboratory. Mother Nature is the only way you can have optimum nutrition. Synthetic vitamins lack the wonderfully marvelous supporting family of micronutrients. Natural vitamins such as the Rejuvenis brand vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B12, vitamin A as well as minerals like, Rejuvenis calcium, potassium and phosphorus.

Fatty acids present in Rejuvenis omega-3 oil gel caps, flax seed oils, extra virgin olive oil and some other foodstuffs such as pistachio, primrose, sunflower, avocados and almonds are fat burning in nature. Take them in your diet but do check for their quantity the Rejuvenis brand is impeccable.

Calcium, as scientific studies have indicated, boosts fat break down in fat cells. When mild and dairy products were not processed to become toxic for the body as in homogenized and pasteurized and others, back then dairy products were a safe place to get calcium. Now the safest place is with goat cheese and milk or Rejuvenis brand Calcium that contains magnesium, the trace mineral that is required for the absorption of calcium.

Certain minerals are metabolism boosters. Two of the most important are magnesium and iodine. The Rejuvenis magnesium is in liquid form to apply to the outside of the body for the best absorption and for improved calcium absorption; it should be rubbed into joints of the legs and back to help relieve pain and, it should be used as an under-arm deodorant to take the place of those commercial deodorants that contain the toxic metal, “aluminum”. Next is Rejuvenis Iodine, which has many effects, from controlling the effects of estrogen on breast tissue to protecting against the effects of radioactivity. Iodine is commonly known to have a major effect on thyroid function, being a main component of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) is one of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland and the thyroid component which controls metabolism, which is one reason why Iodine has been a favorite with those who want to lose weight for many years. However, Iodine has many other effects, from controlling the effects of estrogen on breast tissue, which seems to be particularly important in fibrocystic breast disease, to protecting against the effects of radioactivity. Iodine daily use helps block the uptake of the radioactive iodine that is often leaked in nuclear events, helping protect against the thyroid problems that radioactive iodine can cause. As metabolic rate controls the amount of "fuel" burned by the body for energy, iodine deficiency can result in a decreased metabolic rate making it the ultimate support for those wanting to improve their weight as well as for those who are looking to maintain it. Other key functions of iodine are in the formation of the foetal nervous system. For example if the mother is deficient in iodine, there is a significant chance of the baby being born with cretinism (extremely low intellectual capacity). Iodine is also an important component of healthy connective tissue. Nutrient depleted soils in farm grown food has depleted their iodine content; farm raised fish that are often toxic for the body, lack iodine as well, and the iodized salt which contains some iodine, but is also toxic to the body due to the process used to iodize the salt, making it imperative that we supplement the body with iodine and the Rejuvenis brand is ideal. Goiter, or enlargement of the thyroid gland, is the most common sign of iodine deficiency. Apart from the lack of iodine intake, a number of factors can affect iodine levels. minerals that you must have for life such as calcium, manganese, magnesium create the need as well as the intake of the toxin added to our drinking water "fluoride"; as well as “fluoride” that is added to products such as toothpaste, all are goitrogens, which restrict iodine uptake by the thyroid; making the supplementation daily, vital for the body.

Goitrogens are also present in: Bamboo shoots, Broccoli, Cabbage, and Cassava root, Kale, Lima beans, Maize, Millet, Mustard, Peanuts, Pine nuts, Sweet potato and Tea. However the goitrogens present in such foods can be largely inactivated by cooking. Tea then becomes the exception and drinking large amounts of tea will definitely affect iodine absorption and usage.

Maximum dosage of iodine daily should be about (750mcg). At very high doses, iodine is toxic.

Water plays a vital role in a large number of metabolic processes including burning of fat for producing calories. Drink plenty of alkaline water to boost metabolism as well as lose weight. Alkaline water can be made right at your kitchen sink faucet with the Aging Younger Water Ionizer. All known disease starts in an acidic environment and drinking high alkaline water will help to reduce acidity and improve alkalinity, as well as over-all health.

Unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyle are two prominent contributory factors of excessive body weight or obesity, which is one of the leading causes of heart diseases, diabetes and several types of cancer. Eating unhealthy foods; high in fats and carbohydrates, coupled with lack of physical activity causes accumulation of fats in the body. So, if you are wondering, 'how to burn fat and build muscles', then adopt a healthy dietary habit and exercise regularly and take our amino acids in a spray-Rejuvenis Max Growth factor. Exercising alone cannot achieve the purpose if it is not supplemented with natural to body vitamins and mineral and by the right type of nutritional intake, which should include good food combinations, food combination should include more of protein and fiber rich foods, and less of fatty foods and simple carbohydrates like sugars. But, this does not mean that you should completely exclude fats from your diet. Instead, replacing bad fats with the good ones is a better idea to build muscles. Start with a high fiber breakfast. Fiber, the edible part of plants that resist digestion, has been suggested to lower risks of heart disease, diabetes and obesity, and certain cancers, as the substance reduces blood (bad) cholesterol levels, improves blood glucose levels, lowers blood pressure, promotes weight loss, reduces inflammation and binds to potential cancer-causing agents to promote excretion; Rejuvenis OSH Silver is a wise choice to combat inflamation, infections or virus. Dietary fiber breakfasts should be from grains such as Quinoa or Whole grain Oatmeal. Quinoa is my favorite pick; Quinoa is a very good source of manganese and a good source of copper, two minerals that serve as cofactors for the superoxide dismutase enzyme (Co-Q-10) and, it is a great source of amino acids to support muscle growth along with our Rejuvenis Max Growth factor. Superoxide dismutase is an antioxidant that helps to protect the mitochondria from oxidative damage created during energy production as well as guard other cells, such as red blood cells, from injury caused by free radicals. Quinoa is also a good source of riboflavin, which is necessary for proper energy production within cells. Riboflavin (also called vitamin B2) has been shown to help reduce the frequency of attacks in migraine sufferers, most likely by improving the energy metabolism within their brain and muscle cells. Always have some protein for lunchtime meal; Among lean proteins are eggs, egg whites, but remember they must be from farm raised chickens, that also goes for turkey, remember not to eat farm raised fish eat wild salmon or sardines and wild trout are some of the best foods that burn fat and build muscles. Eggs are one of the richest sources of proteins and they can help immensely in build muscles. Vitamin B12 found in eggs, helps to burn fats. Similarly, red meat is also rich in proteins and vitamin B12 to assist you in the process of building muscles, however, make sure it is farm raised and grass feed beef. Other good sources of protein are chicken breast (not raise in small cages and injected growth hormones and antibiotics, the wild fish mentioned, flank steak and turkey breast, all being farm raised feeding naturally. A healthy diet is simply incomplete without snacking on fruits in between meals, throughout the day. Nuts are other nutritious foods that can help curb hunger and lose weight. So, eating a few almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts and hazelnuts can assist you in controlling cravings and thereby, losing weight and burning fats makes them great for later in the evening snack. However the evening meal should include kidney beans, lima beans, peas, navy beans, chickpeas, etc. with one of your protein selections, with your choice of veggies and without a starch food, such as white rice and white potato; all are important foods for building muscle and burning fat.

Be nice Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite, or, The MLM’s

Considering what information Bed Bug hawkers and MLM’s are trying to peddle, I am certain you can use these words along with the science. Dry ice has high levels of CO2 and bed bugs are attracted to CO2, then the cold temperature of the dry ice, as well as lack of oxygen kills the bed bugs.

Several factors have come together which has enabled bed bugs to re-establish themselves in the US where they were irradiated 100 years earlier, as widespread and persistent pests in our homes, hotels and motels, even very clean homes and high-end swanky hotels. One reason bed bug have made a comeback is that many major pesticides, such as DDT, have been banned worldwide. That’s a good thing because of the harm DDT and other chemicals were doing to the environment, but it opened a window for bed bugs to return and thrive.

Another reason is the new global nature of the world community. That is, it’s much more common for people to travel frequently from country to country. Bed bugs easily hitch a ride in the luggage of travelers, and those travelers infect hotels and motels. From there, it’s a short hop to the average home.

So don’t feel bad, or as if you are doing something wrong if you end up with bed bugs in your home. It’s easy for these critters to sneak a ride on just about anything — if you stay in a hotel, for example, you may bring bed bug eggs back with you in your clothing or luggage. They’ll soon be in your bed.

Bed bugs are an ancient enemy of man. They are mentioned in Greek writing as early as 400 B.C.! Back then, bed bugs were actually considered valuable as a treatment for snake bites! Bed bugs are first mentioned in Germany in the 11th Century, in France in the 13th Century, and so on up until the present day.

When DDT was introduced in the 1940s, bed bugs virtually disappeared from our lives. DDT was banned in Europe in the 1960s and 1972 in the United States.

Scientist call bed bugs Cimicidae, a term used to refer to bugs that feed off the blood of warm blooded animals, including human beings. Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown, flattened, oval and wingless. The adults ate about 4 to 5 mm in width and 1.5 to 3 mm wide.

So that’s just a short history primer on bed bugs. The more you know about your enemy, the better equipped you will be to deal with this pest if it invades your home. The bottom line is, bed bugs have a long, ancient association with human beings. We have been trying to get rid of them for centuries. That means nobody should feel somehow unclean or inadequate if they find this menace in their homes. You can get rid of them — but you need persistence, a strategy and knowledge to eliminate them and keep them from coming back.

Bed bugs bite exposed skin and leave behind small, red, itchy welts. The good news? Bed bugs are not generally thought to transmit any diseases. The damage is more emotional than physical. Bed bug bite treatment cures range from eating garlic to corticosteroids. The CDC does say that bites from bed bugs can be treated with topical emollients or corticosteroids. You can also take an oral antihistamine. If you are exposed, you may consider treating your home as well.

You can make your own bed bugs traps utilizing CO2 or dried ice, it is easy enough to find the directions of how to build one on the Web.

We've already talked about freezing bed bugs. But heating them to death is most likely a much better choice. The concept would be to heat an infested space to a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 20 to thirty minutes. Professionals provide this service, but you might have the ability to do it yourself in that event, you lease an industrial sized heater. In 70o F. conditions if 40 bed bugs are placed in a room in 6 months their population would reach 5905. The only food of the bed bug is blood! But, they are still only pests and, unlike ticks and mosquitoes, they are not known to cause diseases.

There are at least 92 known species of bed bugs and their relatives in the world, including the tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus found in Florida feeding on people, chickens and bats, the bat bug (Cimex adjunctas and Cimex pilosellus), the swallow bug (Oeciaus vicaruis) and the swift bug (Cimexopsis nycatalis).

The hemiptera order includes a number of widely different forms from aphids to water scorpions, but the vast majority are suckers of plant sap. Many species are carriers of important plant diseases. A few species, however, in the family Cimicidae and related families are suckers of mammalian and bird blood and it is to the named family that the bed bug belongs. Lexicologists (those who write dictionaries) do not put a space between “bed” and “bug, but entomologists do.” Their bites (or welts) have been misdiagnosed by dermatologists as flea bites or scabies. They are prolific breeders. Note: Bed bugs only troubled rich people in ancient times because they had the warmest homes, but bed bugs are very sensitive to a blast of heat as was earlier mentioned.

Bed bugs are spreading because they practiced traumatic insemination; males slice through the intact female abdomen to deposit their sperm directly into the body cavity of the female. Males and nymphs secrete hormones that label them as sexually unsuitable to prevent injury. Fertilized females avoid the clusters or aggregations of other bed bugs to avoid further injury. These fertilized females generally leave to find a safer place to lay their eggs; so you guessed it, it is those pesky boys you have to look out for. Bed bugs are basically resistant to all currently registered pesticide poisons Only about half of the population notices the first bed bug bite and many bite reactions may be delayed for 10 days. People over 65 either are suspected to react less or are not likely to be bitten. One survey found 42% of those over 65 reported no bites or bite reactions despite the ongoing presence of bed bugs. Bed bugs cannot detect a host of greater distances than 5 feet.

Bed bugs are oval, flat insects of a straw-colored to a rich reddish-brown mahogany color, which has led to their being called Mahogany Flats. The legs are well developed and they can crawl up vertical surfaces of wood, paper and plaster and, with difficulty, dirty glass. Their upper bodies are crinkly, like paper, and covered with short, golden hairs. Basically wingless, their forewings are represented by small vestigial scales, the hind wings are non-existent. Their antennae are easily seen and the first two segments appear to be angled. Their compound eyes are also visible and cone-like consisting of about 30 facets. Males may easily be distinguished from females by the end of the abdomen terminating in a rather sharp flap-like segment, while in the females they are rounded. Bed bugs have a bad odor caused by an oily liquid they emit, so routinely clean with solutions containing alcohol and make certain there is no peppermint because this attracts bed bugs.

Bed bugs are extremely shy and wary; at night they head for the warmth and odors of the nearest human being. A bed bug can feed nonstop for 10 minutes or more, consuming up to 6 times its own weight of your blood, but you will seldom know you are being bitten. After they have fed, they look bloated and have been described as “animated blood drops”.

Bed bugs are not known officially to transmit any diseases. It is, however, possible for them to cause welts and to spread blood infesting disease organisms by biting and to induce nervous and digestive disorders and allergic reactions, especially in sensitive people. In lab tests they have been found to carry the causative agents for anthrax, plague, typhus, tularemia, yellow fever and relapsing fever. Children become listless and pale when they are forced to live in badly infested homes. They give a distinct odor from glands on their thorax. The odd smell has been described as musty, sickening sweet and/or like crushed raspberries and/or like soda pop syrup. They feed mainly on human blood, but they also will suck blood from other animals, birds, and bats and could be vectors of disease organisms from anything they fed on before you! Nymphs usually finish feeding within three minutes, adults take 10 - 15 minutes; they can easily wait 6 - 7 months between feedings! In fact, bed bugs can live up to a year without food and 18 months without oxygen, which means that the best kill with CO2 is with the freezing and not necessarily the lack of oxygen.

The bed bug’s adaptation to humans is so complete their bites are nearly painless. In the United States bed bugs have been one of the most important urban human pests; they were disliked more than cockroaches, but DDT so effectively controlled bed bugs in the late 1940s that when it was banned, it took them several years but they are just making a comeback lately. You can see them by using a hand lens and a bright light. As stated, bed bugs can be gray or brown in color, changing to dark reddish-brown after feeding, oval or elliptical shape, thin and very flat. They can crawl slowly more than 100 feet to obtain a blood meal. They have a bird like beak with mouthparts that saw through the skin and a proboscis with two tubes; one injects saliva, anticoagulants and pain killers and the other sucks the blood. Some people are very sensitive to bites from bed bugs and their bites may swell up considerably, scratching causes sores to become infected, some say it is very effective to wash the bitten area with a disinfectant hand cleaner. Also something that is very good is the use of a natural antiviral, antibacterial and antibacterial product called OSH Silver, this is not a Colloidal Silver. OSH Silver, helps to eliminate virus and bacteria from the body.

In the early stages of an infestation, the bed bugs will only be found around the seams and tufts of the mattress. Then, as time passes, they move out and inhabit greater and greater areas. Bed bugs prefer to gather on rough surfaces and prefer wood or paper surfaces for harborages. Under normal conditions, bed bugs feed on sleeping victims at night. Their flat bodies allow them to hide virtually anywhere in dark, tight cracks and mattress seams and under buttons and in holes and voids in beds and walls, bedside furniture, ticking and/or seams of upholstered furniture, electrical outlets, dressers, wall boards, door and window frames, behind pictures and baseboards, under loose wall paper, where beds are joined around slats, around mattress tufts, in bed clothes, hollow bed frames, railings, headboards, under the tack boards of wall-to-wall carpeting, and in rooms near host sleeping areas. Look in any place that offers darkness, isolation and/or protection, e.g., behind wallpaper, mop boards, drapery folds, unused appliances, mattresses, stoves, behind electrical switch plates, in clothing, under carpeting and tack strips, etc. Inspect at night with a red light only. Pull out drawers and carefully inspect inside; check mattress seams and buttons; disassemble the bed; check baseboards, upholstered furniture, behind wall coverings. Vacuum all these areas thoroughly and routinely wash the bed and all bed linen with borax. They normally do not travel far from the host. The sleeping area is usually the center of a bed bug infestation. All dark, restricted cracks and crevices are potential harborage. Black or brown spots of dried excrement indicate their presence.

Caulk and seal all cracks and crevices. Vacuum mattresses, walls, floors, carpet, drapes, etc. and clean frequently especially with diluted Safe Solutions, Inc. enzyme cleaner with or without peppermint. Change bed linen daily or at least weekly; launder (120o F. minimum) with borax. Dust lightly with Safe Solutions, Inc. food-grade DE. Bed bugs can only crawl, so move the bed away from the wall and further protect your bed with talc or duct tape, sticky side up, double-sided sticky tape or silicone tape around the legs of the bed and us petroleum jelly smeared on the floor around the bed posts and on the bed legs above the sticky tape.

Vacuuming on a daily basis all of their hiding areas removes bed bugs, their eggs and the dirt that provides them shelter.

Wash all bed linens at least weekly in borax. Dust all drawers, electric outlets and cracks with talcum.

Vacuum or steam clean mattresses or spray and clean with diluted Safe Solutions, Inc. enzyme cleaners and/or borax to remove bed bugs and their debris.

Tighten, caulk, and screen routes of entry. Lightly dust with talcum powder or Comet® or food-grade DE.

Store mattresses in protected areas when not in use. Caulk all cracks and crevices. Re-glue loose wallpaper.

When not in use, do not fold mattresses on cots to prevent mouse nesting. Fumigate the mattresses with carbon dioxide before using them.

Open protective harborage inside, such as wall voids and spray with Not Nice to Bugs®, diluted enzyme cleaners, food-grade DE and/or borax, or tighten it up completely.

Put silica aerogel dust or food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) in wall voids as a last resort.

Open and vacuum cabinets and drawers; this also discourages rodent nesting.

Make crawl spaces accessible to light and air circulation, inaccessible to rodents.

Routinely clean with diluted Safe Solutions, Inc. enzyme cleaners and borax.

Move all debris and wood piles away from the structure.

Keep vegetation and weeds and shrubs away from the foundation.

Eliminate all garbage and remove rodent pests.

Remember: The thermal death point for the common bedbug is only 111o F. to 113o F.; even lower temperatures of 97o F. to 99o F. will kill large numbers of these bugs. Raising the temperature to 140o F. for an hour or 120o F. for several hours should eliminate most infestations. Use a hair dryer to heat or a steam cleaner to steam the cracks and crevices of the mattress weekly using only tap water or put the entire mattress in a sauna at 170o F. Always-Always-Always, put dry ice under your bed every night until you are certain all infestation is removed.
