Article: Start your vehicle like normal, or turn the key until it's in the "On" or "Accessory" position. Then, press the power button on the radio's volume dial to turn on the radio. The digital display will read "LOC" if the radio is locked. If you don't see the letters "LOC" but your radio isn't working, the issue may lie elsewhere. Take your car to a qualified GM mechanic or car radio technician to have them diagnose the source of the problem. GM Theftlock radios are designed to lock up automatically when the vehicle's battery dies or becomes disconnected, though an electronic malfunction could also cause the Theftlock function to activate. Unlocking your Theftlock radio will require you to enter a unique 4-digit numerical code. Before you can do this, however, it will be necessary to write down two separate 3-digit numbers, which you'll get by punching a series of buttons on the radio's interface. You'll be jotting down 3 sets of numbers in all, so make sure there's plenty of room on your scrap paper. Try not to waste any time recording each set of numbers as they appear. Most GM Theftlock radios only give you 10-15 seconds to perform each step in the process before the display resets itself. You may have to hold both buttons for up to 10 seconds. When the numbers finally appear, write them down quickly and accurately. They are the first 3 digits of your radio's identification code. If your radio doesn't have 4 preset buttons, press and hold presets 2 and 3 instead. After you press the button, 3 more numbers will pop up on the radio's display. These are the last 3 digits of your radio's identification code. Write these numbers down alongside the first 3 digits. Make sure the 2 sets of numbers are in the right order. If you enter your radio identification number incorrectly, your attempt to unlock your radio will fail. You'll need to confirm this 6-digit radio identification code with GM over the phone in order to unlock your radio.

Article: Certain chemicals are just about as effective as others. To prevent insect resistance, it's a good idea to rotate different chemicals when you treat the area. Possibilities include: Pyrethroids (cypermethrin, fenvalerate, permethrin, resmethrin, tetramethrin, s-bioallethrin, sumithrin); Organophosphates (coumaphos, dichlorvos, malathion, tetrachlorvinphos) Organochlorines (lindane, methoxychlor) Always double-check that the chemical you're using is safe to apply directly to livestock. Then: Use a small mist blower or a handheld mist sprayer to mist the chemical over your animals. If your animals are spooked by the sprayer, then dip a sponge or a mitt in the chemicals and rub the sponge or mitt on your animals. Always wear rubber gloves. Never let these chemicals come into contact with your skin. Spray a resting areas or barns around the eaves, walls, ceiling and and rafters. Always remove your livestock from the barn before you spray. Some of your animals may have to stay outside for a while. Just follow the directions on the packaging. Coarsely spray resting areas with insecticides. Make sure to spray under low pressure. Be careful not to contaminate your animals' water and feed buckets. Also, keep the spray off of your farm equipment. Spraying a big area is efficient; it won't require too much time or labor. However, area sprays tend to have a short-lived effect. Use aircraft, loggers, hydraulic sprayer or mist blowers to dispense the chemicals. The find chemical droplets will travel to where flies live, killing the insects.
