Article: Both pyrethroid and imidacloprid insecticides work in a similar way by causing paralysis in insects, eventually leading to their death. The products are sold in liquid and granule forms at many gardening stores or are available to purchase online. Use care when handling insecticides. Even though the toxicity level is not as high for humans as it is for insects, it can still cause irritation or sickness. Crane fly eggs hatch at this time and the insecticide will be the most effective for killing adults and leatherjackets alike. Pyrethroids and imidacloprid are preventative to help control future grub problems. You can apply insecticides again when temperatures rise in the spring. If you're using a liquid form of the insecticide, dilute the solution with water depending on the area that you are covering, or about 10 mL of concentrate per 5 L of water. Use a spreader to disperse granules across your lawn. Protect yourself from inhaling chemicals by wearing an earloop mask or similar product. Once you have finished applying the insecticide, water your yard with a sprinkler or a hose. This ensures that the pesticides are brought down into the soil and helps prevent accidental exposure to pets or other members of the family. Measure how fast your sprinkler waters a lawn by using a rain gauge. 12 inch (1.3cm) of water can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Avoid letting pets outside for the next half hour while the lawn dries. While the lawn is wet, animals and humans are at risk for exposure to the insecticides. Once the lawn is dry, it is safe for family members and pets to return outside without exposure to the insecticide.

A few days before asking your parents about going to the sleepover, ask them for something else you want but know they won't let you have. Say, ask them if you can adopt a dog from the animal shelter or have your own car. A few days later, when you're ready to ask your parents for the sleepover, they will be more likely to make this small concession after refusing your other, bigger request. By putting what your parents have told you in your own words and repeating it back to them, you will show your parents that you understand what they're saying and how they feel. This will help your chances of having a sleepover and changing your parents' minds. Your parents will see you're mature enough to try to listen to and understand their point of view.
