Having pests in your home is a problem many people have to deal with. Sometimes, it’s as easy as calling a pest control company and removing the pest. Other times, there are unclear lines about whose responsibility it is to take care of pest control. Where landlords are concerned, who is responsible, the landlord or the tenant? Sometimes, the responsibility falls on the landlord because they have stated such in their contract, and as long as you can prove that, they have to take care of pest control needs. However, this isn’t always so clear-cut. Some landlords like to dodge the pest control bullet because the fees can be costly if pests are not treated promptly. This crosses the line into repairing the damage done by pests which can be very costly, too. There are also situations where the landlord will claim that the tenant brought the pests into their residence. That they are unclean or have poor cleaning habits. However, tenants can claim that pests were present because they moved...

Mice are amazing little creatures. You might not think so if one is running around your home or business, but we do learn a great deal about them in the world of science. The Feel Good Mice In some of the latest research from the University of California, researchers have discovered that mice have spontaneous impulses of dopamine in their brain. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter within our brain that makes us all feel so good. What’s more, is that this study also found that mice can manipulate dopamine pulses (willingly) for a reward. The study showed that not only were mice aware of their ability to feel these dopamine pulses but that they learned to anticipate them as well. This showed researchers that there may be something between spontaneous dopamine impulses and cognitive events within the realm of behavioral planning. This means a whole new area of brain dynamics and dopamine opens up for studies. Mindful Mice A recent study from the University of Cambridge showed that scient...
