The 2006 Volvo sedan apparently was traveling east when the driver lost control of the vehicle around 5:15 p.m. Monday. The car smashed into the pole at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Ackley Avenue. Electric lines fell down across Ackley Avenue but they did not interfere with heavy rush-hour traffic on Riverside Drive.

The Best Exterminators in New York - Curbed

Photo-Illustration: by Curbed; Photos Getty Images Since 1985, our annual "Best of New York" issue has named standout services, unique shops, and special spots in dozens of categories. Now that Curbed is part of New York 's family, we have reimagined "Best of New York" as an ever-expanding resource that could rival Yelp in usefulness but feels more like a secret Google doc that gets passed among friends.

The result: our own Yellow Pages, containing only excellent places.

Tell Home Depot and Lowe's to Promote Herbicide Alternatives; Organic Is Focus of June 8 Forum - Beyond Pesticides

Image
( Beyond Pesticides , June 7, 2021) Beyond Pesticides and Friends of the Earth (FOE) collaborated to analyze herbicide products at two of the most popular home and garden retailers, Home Depot and Lowe's. This new Commercial Herbicide Analysis highlights the adverse health and environmental effects of widely available toxic pesticides while encouraging retailers to expand on—and consumers to use—safer, least/nontoxic pesticide approaches. Tell Home Depot and Lowe's to remove toxic herbicides from their shelves and replace them with products that promote least-toxic practices. According to Akayla Bracey, Beyond Pesticides' science and regulatory manager and lead researcher on the review, "People generally aren't aware that the pesticides widely available in garden retailers like Home Depot and Lowe's are a threat to health and the environment, and that there are safer approaches that are available and used in organic land management."  When i

Impossible to control': Industry says rodenticides needed to manage pest infestations in B.C. amid calls for poison ban - CTV Edmonton

Image
Victoria - As the owl advocacy group Rodenticide Free BC calls on the province to completely ban the use of rat poisons in B.C., retailers have begun pushing back on the idea. Kelvin McCulloch is the president of Buckerfield's, a home goods and outdoor gear company, and he says if an all-out ban were to happen, the rodent population in the province would rise out of control. "Any feed store in British Columbia is always at risk of having mice and rats in it," said McCulloch. At Buckerfield's in Nanaimo, it wasn't just a few pesky rodents that plagued the store. "It was probably 10,000," said the president of Buckerfield's. Roughly $200,000 worth of inventory had to be thrown out. The store was closed for months as the walls were ripped apart to fix the damages caused by the mice and that cost around $300,000 itself. McCulloch estimates that $500,000 worth of business was lost during the store's closur

LAS VEGAS - At a Nov. 3 PestWorld 2021 educational session, John Lonsbury shared his secret to reeling in more customers: knowing the right customers to target and knowing where they are located. In his presentation "Two Amazingly Effective Strategies to Instantly Improve Your Marketing Results," Lonsbury, sales and marketing manager at Adam's Pest Control, Medina, Minn., explained how pest control companies can use audience segmentation analysis — grouping customers into segments to predict their behavior — and location marketing to expand their customer base. By analyzing data such as the age, gender, income, ethnicity, residence, interests, values and spending habits of customers, businesses can pinpoint their key customer base and market to that specific group, Lonsbury explained. This is the basis of audience segmentation. So how does a company track down such specific customer data? Lonsbury advised hiring a vendor who specializes in interpreting this type of inform

A truly American holiday - Mount Airy News

Thanksgiving is truly an American holiday Thanksgiving as a holiday had its origins on American soil. In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of the New World and his first order of business was to thank God for sparing his life from life threatening storms at sea. One hundred and twenty eight years later, the pilgrims arrived after a rough Atlantic journey and landed near Plymouth, Massachusetts, and they also thanked God, and 401 years later in 2021, we are celebrating Thanksgiving. Even though the holiday can be traced to American origins, no other holiday is so taken for granted. Surely it should be a time to have thankful hearts and to count our blessings. We have so very much to be thankful for, and our lives should be constantly lived in a spirit of giving thanks. Pilgrims gave thanks at Plymouth in 1620 Materialism is the biggest hindrance to giving thanks in America in the year 202

Photo: amazon.com Even under the best conditions and despite the most attentive gardening practices, weeds can muscle their way in—fast! While desirable flowers and vegetables can require weeks of coddling to produce blossoms and edibles, weeds seem to shoot up overnight, crowding out desirable plants and stealing the soil nutrients. Some gardeners shy away from herbicides due to concern for the environment and perceived risk of fruit and vegetable contamination. While you could spend hours pulling, raking, and wielding other weeding tools to avoid using toxic chemicals, consider adding an organic weed killer to your arsenal. These products contain natural ingredients that kill unwanted plants without posing a risk to food production or the environment. Choosing th

AAAC Wildlife Removal of Fort Worth: 5 Reasons to Call in - GlobeNewswire

Southlake, Texas, Aug. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When your home has become the local hotspot for wild raccoons or a private apartment for a colony of bats, it's easy to panic. The thought of your family being in danger or your property under threat is alarming, and caught up in the dismay, you may consider drastic action. However, not only can it be dangerous to take on wildlife yourself, but the situation is very rarely resolved by brute force and a lack of specialist equipment. Combine that with the fact that many creatures are protected by US law, and cannot be dealt with forcefully and inhumanely, and it's quite clear it's a risk not worth taking. Two people who know this better than most are Christian and Victoria Flores, the proud owners of AAAC Wildlife Removal of Fort Worth. Their local and family-owned business was founded on a love for animals, and over the years they've helped hundreds of home and businessowners resolve their nu
