Problem: Article: Fleas don't survive well in cold environments. Keeping your house as cold as possible while you are not there will force the fleas to migrate to your pets, where they will die. Purchase an electronic programmable thermostat that can turn your heat down or off while you are at work or asleep. Leave windows wide open while you are out of the house whenever possible. Doing this will keep fleas from hiding inside your cushions, under pillows or under throw blankets. Squeeze the juice out of an orange or a lemon and rub the rind over your pets' fur. Your pet will smell great, and your pet won't be harmed if it licks the citrus juices from its fur. Note that concentrated citrus oil is toxic to pets if licked, so only use the juice never essential oils. You can purchase "beneficial nematodes" from a pet shop, a gardener's supply store or a store that focuses on organic lawn care. Beneficial nematodes consume flea larvae, which prevents the next generation of fleas from invading your home. Don't worry these aren't the nematodes that can cause your pet to have heartworms. Add one teaspoon of vinegar for every four cups of water in the dog's water bowl. As your dog drinks the water, the vinegar gets into their system and make their blood taste bad to the fleas. It will take two to three bowls of water before you start to notice a difference, but it works great once the vinegar gets into the dog's system. There is no scientific evidence to back this method, though some people report having luck.
Summary: Keep your home as cold as possible when you are not around. Place covers on your furniture after you treat your house. Rub your pets' fur with citrus. Use natural predators in your yard. Use apple cider vinegar.

Problem: Article: One piece is perpendicular to the other, with one pointy end lined up with the slot in the top center of the other piece. Both pieces should be face down, so that the corners want to fold in to the table you're working on rather than out into the air. Make sure to choose the appropriate corner and slot so that the squares at the center of each piece are now positioned perfectly next to each other. The diagonal line on the bottom triangle of the white piece should perfectly line up with the diagonal line going across the center of the red piece. It should also be face down and even with the center of the red piece. The diagonal corner of the blue piece should be parallel to the diagonal line pointed out in the step above. The two diagonal lines pointed out above should now meet to form just one diagonal line going from the corner of the red square to the corner of the white triangle, with the blue triangle sitting along the line. The three squares at the center of each piece should be lined up in the shape of an L with the red at the corner, so that the red square borders the other two and the white and blue squares only touch at one corner. The white corner is the end of the diagonal line referred to above. Slip it into the nearest blue pocket. This will create a half cube, formed by three squares which all border each other. Each side should also be half its original color and half the color of the piece that got tucked into it. The figure will now be 3D, so that it can no longer sit flat on the table. When you position the cube with one side on the table, the leftover corners should form diagonal halves of the last three sides of the cube. From this position, you can easily add the next side. Make sure it's lined up the right way. The top triangle will line up perfectly with the triangle from the earlier piece of the same color so that those two triangles together will form a square on one of the other sides left to be filled. The other triangle, the bottom one of the piece you're putting in, should tuck into a fold on a side already in place. Here, slide the white corner into the blue pocket to attach the blue piece. Where possible, tuck loose corners into the corresponding pockets on the sides they should attach to. Again, make sure the piece is lined up such that its triangular corners can slip into the pockets on the sides they should attach to. Tuck loose corners into their corresponding pockets. At this point, you should have two loose flaps on the only side left to add; everything else should be tucked in. Again, line it up such that the loose flaps will fit into the pockets of the piece. This will firmly attach the last side of the cube.
Summary: Take two pieces and position them like so. Slide the corner of the red piece into the pocket of the white piece. Now position a third piece (blue in our example) as shown. Slide corner of blue piece into the pocket of the red. Take the corner of the white piece and put it into the pocket of the blue. Flip half cube to its side so a corner is facing up as shown. Position a forth peace (here, blue) and line it up with one of the sides left to be filled. Slide the corner into the piece you're putting in to attach it. Check the sides for any loose corners. Turn the cube to a side with another triangle flap (here, red) facing up. Position a fifth piece (white) and line it up with the triangular flap. Slide the triangular flap into the corresponding pocket to attach the new side. Check sides for any loose corners. Position the last peace (red) and line it up with the last empty side of the cube. Slide the loose flaps into the corresponding pockets. Tuck all loose flaps into their corresponding pockets and the cube is complete.

Problem: Article: The best way to keep your sangria warm all through the evening is to let it simmer in a slow cooker (or crock pot). You could also allow it to simmer in a large pot or saucepan on the stovetop, if you don't have a slow cooker. Rather than getting out your stemware, choose mugs for serving hot sangria. Not only will the mugs keep the sangria warmer than thin glasses, they also have a nice handle for holding on to the hot beverage. Hot sangria could potentially crack thin glasses, so avoid using these to serve hot sangria. You want all your spices and flavors to combine nicely, so this is an important step. Though you could simply heat the mixture and serve it, letting it simmer for a bit longer creates a more complex and nuanced flavor. Just be sure to keep the burner or slow cooker on a low setting. A cinnamon stick is the perfect garnish -- and stir stick -- for spicy, hot sangria. Pop 1 in each glass before serving. Add an apple or orange slice to the rim of the glass or pop a few fresh cranberries on top.
Summary: Serve hot sangria from the stovetop or a slow cooker. Choose heat-resistant glasses for serving hot sangria. Let hot sangria simmer for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. Garnish the drink with fruit and a cinnamon stick.
