Are you getting sleepless nights and waking up to find rashes all over your body? If yes, then there is a good chance that a bed bug army has infested your bed. These small insects find their way in mattresses, cushioned chairs and other furniture in your residence and they feed upon human blood. Although not essentially nocturnal, these creatures end up attacking usually at night when you are most vulnerable.

For successful elimination of these parasites, you have to first find out their exact location. This would help you come up with an effective way of eradicating them and take preventive measures against their re-entry. It is upon you to decide whether you want to do this on your own or if you want a professional’s help.

To deal with the bed bug problem you need to first carry out an extensive exercise of vacuum and steam cleaning of your furniture and rugs in your house. You should also ensure a vigorous cleaning of all your bedspreads and pillow cloths at a high temperature, which will kill any bugs that are still surviving and their eggs that might be present in them. It is also a good idea to scrub the floors properly using a disinfectant, so as to destroy the bed bug eggs that might be spread all over the place.

Once you have finished the cleaning, you should ensure that you dispose all the waste collected while cleaning at a distance from your home, so that the bed bugs do not have any way to get into your house again. Once you have got rid of the bugs, you must make sure that you block every gap in your home, especially around sewage pipes and faucets.

You must also make sure that you are making use of natural and more human friendly techniques of pest control as the strong chemicals used in many bug repellents can contaminate your articles of daily use and cause possible harm to your own and your family’s health. Maintaining basic hygiene and cleanliness can win half the battle for you in dealing with bed bugs and getting back your sound sleep.

Mobile Marketing PlaybookMobile Marketing PlaybookIs this the Year of Mobile? For over a decade this proclamation has turned out to be premature, giving marketers ample reason to be skeptical. The difference looking forward to 2011 is that this is the first time that consumer behavior and mobile platforms have reached sufficient scale for mobile to move beyond an emerging media tactic for mainstream marketers.

To help guide marketers during this exciting time of transition, we’ve published the Mobile Marketing Playbook. Our comprehensive strategic report aims to help marketers evaluate the opportunities available, determine which ones are best for their brands and develop a strategy following best practices for achieving success in mobile marketing.

Specifically, the aim of the Mobile Marketing Playbook is to help marketers:
• Work within a framework for establishing a set of clear objectives for their mobile marketing strategy
• Move beyond the checklist approach with a filter for evaluating the myriad of opportunities within mobile
• Think of ways to use mobile to merge online and offline strategies, as a hub that bridges the gap
• Encourage a dialogue about what matters in mobile now, and what’s ahead for this new and exciting medium

In addition to leveraging the insights from members of the 360i mobile marketing team, the Playbook also includes guest commentary by industry luminaries Noah Elkin (Senior Analyst at eMarketer), Mickey Alam Khan (Editor in Chief at Mobile Marketer), Valerie Brown (Director of Consumer Marketing at Bravo) and Naoki Muramatsu (VP, Digital Business Development of Dentsu Holdings USA).
