Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have your blankets and comforters professionally cleaned. Switch out your bed frame. Seal your home well. Seek help with a professional exterminator.

Answer: Taking these larger items to your local dry cleaners for a full cleaning or treatment can prevent future infestations. Inform them of your concerns. Many cleaners will have processes and relatively safe chemicals to discourage bugs from nesting in the fabric. For more severe cases of insect infestation, call a professional cleaning service to come to your home and eliminate the bugs. Don't take this step unless you're confident that you have bugs living in your bed, however, as it can be quite expensive. You can invest in a mattress encasement that is designed to fend off bed bugs. This encasement wraps around the entirety of your mattress and contains infestations. Any bugs trapped within the encasement will die off. You may not have to worry about this preventative measure unless you're suffering from a bad case of bites. Bugs often hide within wooden frames, so changing to a metal frame may eliminate them from your bedroom. Wooden frames also sit closer to the floor, giving bugs easy access to traveling from the floor into your bed. You also want to avoid a bed with a headboard, if you can. Headboards are breeding grounds for insects, and they'll be able to easily slip through the porous wood and into your sheets. If you need a headboard to sleep, try using a metal one instead. If you can stop bugs from entering your home, you'll prevent them from biting you at night. You also will avoid paying exorbitant prices for new furniture or professional cleaning. Close cracks and crevices near bare plumbing or wiring. Smaller bugs can travel easily through these narrow paths. Get quality silicone or acrylic latex caulk to fill smaller holes around doors or windows. If your hole is any larger, you may need a sturdier filling, such as sheetrock or mortar. Because the insects biting you are likely very small, mesh screens on your doors and windows probably won't do much. Keep these openings closed when you can. Improving your general sanitation can help your bug problem. Don't leave dishes sitting out overnight and always clean up any spilled food crumbs. If you're having trouble permanently eradicating your bug problem, you may want to call a specialist. Professional pest control companies generally use a mixture of steam treatment and insecticide. Starting with a steam treatment works best; your insecticides will kill any bugs that the steam misses. Make sure that your professional is using an insecticide with d-phenothrin as its active ingredient. D-phenothrin's major use is in the killing of small nuisance insects, such as bed bugs and ticks. It's more than likely that these sorts of creatures are the problem. If you don't want to pay for an exterminator, you can try doing a steam treatment yourself. You'll have to purchase your own cleaner. Make sure that it produces a low vapor, high-temperature steam. Stand as close to the bugs as you can. Move at a rate close to one inch per 10 seconds. Anything quicker than this might become nonlethal for your pests.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try putting up a fight if the attacker approaches you empty-handed. Use pepper spray or the threat of it to deter your attacker. If you suspect a rapist is following you, don't be afraid to tell them you'll fight back. Try pinching them where it hurts. Punch, kick, claw, or otherwise aim for the groin. Stomp on the attacker's toes or bend their fingers back, if possible. Learn SING.

Answer: Many rapists think that they can simply overpower a victim and have their way with them. They are arrogant, but they are also wrong. The more you put up a fight, the better chances your attacker will give up and look for an easier target. Don't make yourself an easy target. Try using anything at your disposal to defend yourself things everyone has, such as nails and fists, or everyday objects, such as umbrellas and rocks, to ward off the attacker. The good news is that, as late as 2001, only 11% of would-be rapists used a weapon during the attempted rape. That means 9 out of 10 rapists had no more natural defense than you likely do. Carrying out a rape with a weapon means a lot more prison time. If the rapist is carrying a weapon, follow your instincts and take cues from the rapist. If you survive the sexual assault, you've done the right thing. If you've got pepper spray handy, take it out and hold it out at arm's length, aiming for the attacker's eyes while shouting "I've got pepper spray! I'll use it if I need to!" If you don't have any pepper spray, you can try putting your hand in your bag and yelling the same threat "I've got pepper spray! I'll use it if I need to!" trying to outsmart the would-be attacker. Any rapist who's been stung by pepper spray before is very likely to think twice before assaulting you. An informal sampling of rapists in prison found that many would leave a target alone if she threatened to fight back. Say "Stay away! I will fight back if you get closer!" Rapists are looking for easy targets; people talking on their phones while walking, rifling through their bags, etc. If you show them you won't go down without a fight, you could scare them off. If an attacker wraps their arms around you or is close enough to touch, first try to pinch them in one of two places: inside the upper arm (between the elbow and the armpit) or the upper inner thigh. Pinch hard; pinch like your life depends on it (because it could!) For context, try pinching yourself in either of these places. It hurts, doesn't it? And you're probably not even pinching as hard as you could. If your attacker is male, a swift blow to the genital area will cause an intense amount of pain, and will dissuade most would-be rapists from following through with their intentions. If your attacker is female, a kick or punch that lands on the vulva or clitoris will also cause considerable pain. A square hit in the groin area often incapacitates the attacker. If they are vulnerable after the groin attack, try punching them at the front of the throat (think Adam's Apple, women are sensitive here too). This is also extremely painful, and should render the attacker useless for enough time for you to get to safety. Really stomp on their toes if you get the chance. If you have access to the attacker's fingers, try bending them back with force. Humans have a lot of nerve-endings in our toes and fingers, making them excellent defensive targets. This stands for Solar Plexus-Instep-Nose-Groin. First, elbow them in the solar plexus, stomp on their foot as hard as you can, when they let go, punch them or hit them using the palm of your hand in the nose, then knee them in the groin. This may give you enough time to run away.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exfoliate your brows nightly. Apply a brow serum after exfoliating. Tame unruly brow hairs with gel. Have your brows professionally shaped.

Answer:
If you're exfoliating your brows to help grow them out, it's important to do it regularly. Use a scrub or toothbrush on your brows every night for 2 to 4 weeks. That will help improve circulation in the area to promote hair growth. If you find that your skin is too sensitive for daily exfoliation, try scrubbing your brows every other night or every couple of nights. Signs that your skin may be too sensitive include increased dryness and redness. Right after you exfoliate your brows, massage a brow growth serum over the area. These products contains peptides, while help promote growth at the hair follicle. In most cases, you should apply the serum daily, but consult the instructions on your product for proper usage. It can take up to 6 weeks to see results from a brow growth serum. Be sure to apply yours regularly to get the results that you want. While you're in the process of growing your brows, you'll likely go through an awkward phase with stray hairs or hairs that are too long. Resist the urge to pluck your brows, though. Instead, use a brow gel to carefully groom your brows into place and keep them there all day so they look neat and tidy. You can find clear and tinted brow gel formulas. The clear gel is a good option if you don't have many gaps in your brows. However, the tinted gel may be a better choice if you need to fill in holes in your brows because it can save the step of using a pencil, powder, or pomade first. When you finally start to see some growth in your brows, you can wind up undoing all of the work you've done if you pick up a pair of tweezers and try to shape them yourself. Instead, visit a professional brow specialist to have your brows shaped exactly as you want them to ensure that they stay full and lush. If you don't like the idea of having to go to a brow specialist every few months to get your brows shaped, don't worry. Once you've had them shaped professionally, you can use the specialist's work as a guide and tweeze away the stray hairs yourself.
