Physics of Sound
Sound begins as a wave of pressure. When one of these waves passes through a solid object, liquid or gas, it causes it to vibrate. This vibration produces sound. Whether or not someone or something is capable of hearing the sound depends on the frequency, or how fast the waves are. Sound frequency is measured in hertz (Hz). » more Ultrasonic dog repellent can help you in getting rid of dogs

 Tick
Ticks can be harmful creatures, as they inhabit our homes and lawns, feed off blood and can in some cases cause disease or other infection. While there are several retail products that repel ticks, these items can be expensive, and many times are priced too high for our budgets. Instead, consider making your own homemade tick repellent from inexpensive ingredients.
Rose Geranium essential oil
I dug deep in my herbal formula for this recipe out of desperation, given that I live in the epicenter of the tick-generated Lyme disease epidemic. I tested the essential oil that is recommended for ticks, Rose Geranium, by putting a few drops no more! on our dogs’ collars, to see if it would repel ticks. Lo and behold, we went from 20 ticks a day on each dog, to none. » more Homemade Tick Repellent
Each termite colony contains three castes; workers, soldiers, and reproductives. These castes are physically distinct and perform different tasks in the termite society.
Workers are about 1/8 inch long and are blind, wingless, soft-bodied, creamy white to grayish-white with a round head. Workers are the most numerous individuals in a termite colony, and they are the termite caste that actually eats the wood. These sterile individuals forage for food and water, construct and repair shelter tubes, feed and groom other termites, care for eggs and young, and participate in colony defense.
Soldiers are the defenders of the colony and are also wingless. They resemble workers except that they have a large, rectangular, yellowish-brown head with large black mandibles (jaws). » more Termite bait monitors
