## Resource

Summer’s heat is turning into a pest control frenzy as ants, spiders, and bed bugs swarm in search of cooler spots—forcing exterminators into overdrive. These critters are emerging from winter hideouts and moving into basements and wiring holes as temps rise. Homeowners can help by keeping indoor temps at 67–68°F and sealing cracks and holes—far more effective than glue traps. And for brown recluse spiders? Shake out outdoor clothes before bringing them inside. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
