INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The disinfecting wipe already has cleaning solution on it, so there is no need to apply solution to it. Use the wipe to rub down the entire surface of the switch. Rub down the hard to clean spots with a Q-tip. Try to spread the fluid from the disinfectant wipes over the parts you had trouble reaching previously. Rub the switch with a towel. Try to get all the hard to reach spots. Continue until you have picked up all the excess moisture.

SUMMARY: Rub the switch with a disinfecting wipe. Use a Q-tip to clean hard to crevices. Buff the switch with a clean dry towel.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Studies have shown that the consumption of spearmint tea can decrease the levels of androgens, the male testosterone that is one of the major causes of excessive hair growth, in a woman's blood stream. Buy spearmint tea or fresh spearmint leaves. Drink the tea twice a day for a few weeks to help decrease hair growth. When eaten, soy acts similar to estrogen in your body. These soy products may be able to reduce hair growth. Try to incorporate soy products such as edamame, soy milk, or soy burgers in your diet each day. Over time, it may help reduce your body hair growth. To reduce the appearance of body hair, try applying a mask of gram flour, also known as besan, and curd. Measure 1 tablespoon and a pinch of turmeric. Add 1 tablespoon of curd and mix well. Add enough water to make it a thick paste. Massage it into your skin. Leave it on until it dries. Then, rub it gently off your face. Doing it once a day may reduce the amount and appearance of body hair. You can also replace the water with yogurt or heavy cream. The mixture will be thicker, but apply it in the same way. The dairy ingredients have nutrients that may help reduce hair growth even more. Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 1 teaspoon each of sugar and lemon juice. Heat the mixture in a microwave for about three minutes, or until it makes a thick waxy substance. Let it cool until it is cool enough to not burn your skin. Dust the area of your skin with cornstarch or flour to help the mixture adhere to the hair. Then, apply it to the area of body hair with a waxing spatula or butter knife in the direction your hair grows. Lay a piece of fabric over the mixture, pressing it down. Then, pull the fabric in the direction opposite to the way the hair grows. Repeat over the entire area of hair. Over time, less hair may grow in this area and it can be less dark and coarse. Do this whenever the hair is long enough to adhere to the wax, usually every 30 days or so. Make sure you don't burn yourself with this mixture. It will be hot at first, so wait until it has adequately cooled before you apply. Your skin may be irritated afterwards, so prepare with a soothing bath or cleanser.

SUMMARY: Drink spearmint tea. Eat more soy products. Make a gram flour and curd mask. Make a homemade wax.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Borax is a cleaning chemical that is poisonous to ants, but non-toxic to humans. To try and kill the ants at their source, make a Borax bait that the ants will flock to, and bring back to their nest. Mix one part corn syrup (or any sweet, sticky substance) with one part Borax, and spread the mixture on an index card. Place the index card in an area where you have witnessed a lot of ant activity. The ants will bring this sweet, poisonous mixture back to their colony, and it will slowly eliminate the ants. Consider setting this bait at night, because ants tend to hunt for food during the night hours. You could also make a poison mixture with Borax and powdered sugar. Mix together 1 part Borax with 3 parts of powdered sugar. Fill small containers with this mixture (bottle caps, spoons, etc.), and place these containers around areas where ants may be entering your house. If you have pets or children who could get into this powdered Borax mix, consider mixing 1 cup of warm with cup of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of Borax. Soak cotton balls in this mixture, and set the cotton balls out in shallow dishes near known ant entry points. Commercial bait traps eliminate ants much the same way as Borax traps, but they tend to work a bit faster (although they are still slow-acting), and can be more targeted to specific food preferences of your invading ant. For example, there are ant baits that are sugar based, grease based, and protein based depending on what kind of ant you are dealing with. When in doubt for what kind of ant bait to use, consider getting one of each. If you find that the ants are not taking the bait, you may have to change the type of bait you are using, or relocate the bait to a more active area. When using bait, all other food competition must be removed from the area. This food competition could inhibit the effectiveness of the bait. When the ants start feeding on the bait, leave them alone to feast and bring it back to their colony. After some time, you should see a reduced number of ants. If you are able to follow an ant trail back to a nest or anthill, consider pouring salty boiling water down the hill opening. You may have to use many containers of water, but this will be a surefire way to eliminate a large amount of intruding ants.

SUMMARY:
Poison the ants with Borax. Set up a commercial bait trap. Pour boiling water over the anthill.
