Halloween is fast approaching and one of the most prominent aspects of that holiday is a pumpkin that is why National Debt Relief shares some tips to make the most out of it. The article titled “5 Frugal Ways to Make Pumpkins Part of Your October” released October 10, 2018, gives people some valuable tips for pumpkin use this Halloween season

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (PRWEB) OCTOBER 12, 2018

Halloween is fast approaching and one of the most prominent aspects of that holiday is a pumpkin that is why National Debt Relief shares some tips to make the most out of it. The article titled “5 Frugal Ways to Make Pumpkins Part of Your October” released October 10, 2018, gives people some valuable tips for pumpkin use this Halloween season.

The article starts off by explaining how it is inevitable for pumpkins to start popping up all around as Halloween approaches. A lot of people uses it for Jack O’ Lantern displays in line with Halloween. These giant orange orbs can be easily bought at roadside stands, farmer’s markets, and even in local grocery stores. However, there are other great uses for pumpkins rather than being thrown away after Halloween.

The article starts with the most obvious use of a pumpkin which is to eat it. This is because a lot of people simply throw it away after Halloween or simply sees it as a decoration. Pumpkins are actually a key ingredient in a number of fall recipes and people can use it to make tasty dishes without spending a fortune.

The seeds of the pumpkin is another thing people can save and even eat. According to the article, a lot of people simply throw out the seeds when they clean out the pulp to make the Jack O’ Lanterns. These seeds can actually serve as a tasty and healthy snack alternative the next time people find themselves binge-watching their favorite shows.

The article also shares how these pumpkins can double as flowerpots for your garden. It also helps that pumpkins are hardy too. They will endure into the cold winter months, even after the flowers have long since died. If consumers want to get a few more, shopping after Halloween usually puts these pumpkins at a deep discount.

Design Expert Provides Helpful Tips on What Homeowners Need to Know to Get Their Homes Ready for Fall

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — As temperatures cool and the dog days of summer become a distant memory, it’s time to pull out your fall checklist. Spring isn’t the only ideal time for a home spruce up. Tackling some household chores before the days get shorter will ensure you’re ready for the cold days ahead and prevent some unwelcomed surprises next spring. While this can seem like a stressful undertaking, creating an autumn home makeover plan is easier than you think. DIY and design expert Martin Amado has made a career of helping people fall in love (and back in love) with their homes and he’s sharing his tips to help homeowners brave their own DIY fall updates and winter preparations.

Safety first: Did you know that three in five home fire deaths are the result of fires in homes without smoke alarms, or with no working smoke alarms? Often times this is due to missing alarm batteries from intentional device deactivation. Fire Prevention Month in October is the perfect time to take stock of your home’s safety by testing alarms to ensure that batteries and devices are functioning properly. Replace any alarms that are outdated and install new alarms in your home—which should be located on every level and in every bedroom of the home. The First Alert 10-Year Smoke Alarm (PRC710v) is a low-profile, combination photoelectric smoke and carbon monoxide alarm that features a sealed, 10-year battery that eliminates the need to replace the batteries for the life of the alarm and can be programmed to give voice alerts to indicate the type and location of detected threat.
Refresh: Give rooms a facelift by switching out the old carpeting. Opt for a hypoallergenic option to help you enjoy the comfort of the carpet, while not worrying about its allergens, microbes and odors. HOMEFresh, it’s the world’s first and only hypoallergenic and odor-neutralizing carpet. It is welcome news for anyone who suffers from asthma or allergies, or for people who want a cleaner home. It’s 100% hypoallergenic and mold and mildew resistant, so dust and allergens are vacuumed easier. Plus, a natural mineral is infused into the carpet’s fibers to help neutralize household odors from pets, smoking and cooking. Its exclusively sold at Empire Today.
Mind your peepers: Short and frigid days mean we’ll be spending a lot more time indoors. Switch to lightbulbs that are easy on the eyes because poor quality light can cause unnecessary eye strain. With Philips LEDs with a warm glow dimming effect, you can create the perfect ambiance without sacrificing the quality of your light and while enjoying the energy-savings of LEDs. The more you dim the bulbs, the warmer the light becomes, similar to the tones of incandescent light bulbs. They are also designed to meet specific quality criteria, so they are comfortable for your eyes as you dim from the highest setting to the lowest. Making simple décor improvements and taking better care of yourself is as easy as changing a light bulb.
Cozy corner: Keep your house cozy during the long, cold months ahead. Have a basket with comfy throws and blankets for those colder nights and curl up with a book or a movie. Also, to keep the kids entertained, the all-new Fire HD 8 Kids Edition gives kids freedom to explore, while giving parents peace of mind knowing that what their kids are viewing is age-appropriate. It is the latest version of Amazon’s best-selling kids tablet and comes with a kid-proof case, 2-year worry-free guarantee, and one-year subscription to FreeTime Unlimited, giving kids access to thousands of kid-friendly books, videos, educational apps, and games in both Spanish and English. Plus with FreeTime parental controls, parents can manage settings such as setting time limits, adjusting age filters, and more. All for $129.99

ERIE, Pa., Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Halloween is only a few weeks away, and that means trick or treaters will soon be at your doorstep. If you plan on handing out candy this year, Erie Insurance lists six ways to get your home ready and safe for those visitors in costume.

Clear the Walkways Toys, rakes, stones and wet leaves – clear them all out of the way before trick-or-treating starts. A quick clean-up is one of the easiest ways to make your home safer.
Light it UpTurn on your exterior lights, including any flood lights, to help create a safe path for trick-or-treaters or any night time visitors.
Corral Your Pets Constantly opening and closing the door makes it easy for pets to escape and possibly harm a child. A better idea is to keep pets in a secured room or wing of the house where they won’t be able to run out the open door.
Lock all Other DoorsMischief can happen when you’re doling out candy, so play it safe by locking all your other doors including garages and cars. The FBI reports that approximately 30 percent of all burglaries are committed without force, courtesy of an unlocked door or window.
Skip CandlesCandles may be the traditional way to light up those jack-o-lantern’s, but it’s not worth the fire risk when you consider all the draping costumes and accessories that will whiz by the flame. Consider using flameless candles or battery-operated lights instead.
Pick a Good Spot.If you have a lot of stairs or a long, winding path, consider handing out candy at the end of your driveway. The easier trick or treaters can get to you the better.
This Halloween make sure your home is covered against unexpected tricks. Contact an Erie Insurance agent to find a homeowners insurance plan that is right for you.

Erie Insurance Group
According to A.M. Best Company, Erie Insurance Group, based in Erie, Pennsylvania, is the 9th largest homeowners insurer and 11th largest automobile insurer in the United States based on direct premiums written and the 16th largest property/casualty insurer in the United States based on total lines net premium written.

In the United States alone, between 100 million and 1 billion birds are killed each year due to building and window collisions. Humane bird control company Bird-X manufactures visual bird deterrents that can reduce the number of collisions.

(PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 28, 2018

Artificial nocturnal light from homes, businesses, transit stations and more causes great confusion in birds, which can lead to collisions with sides of buildings or windows. According to the Audubon Society, 54-76 percent of bird and window collisions are fatal. Springtime proves to be less fatal, as birds are in a territorial mindset and attempt to attack their own reflection in windows, which is less impactful than flying full-speed into a window.

During cooler months when birds are travelling on their migration routes, nocturnal light can pull birds away from their standard route. “At night, the light from inside our homes and buildings shines through the windows, and the birds try to fly inside for shelter,” writes Kristen Hall-Geisler of HowStuffWorks.com.

The humane bird deterrent company, Bird-X, has a variety of visual deterrent products designed to scare birds away from treated areas as well as alert flying birds of solid surfaces that may seem like open windows. With Halloween right around the corner, a menacing Terror Eyes® balloon can serve two purposes – decoration and bird preservation. Another product that can help reduce the number of bird and window collisions is Irri-Tape®, a holographic ribbon that reflects light and makes noise when it flaps in the wind. This multisensory approach can warn birds from a distance to stay away from the treated area.

Bird-X, Inc. has spent over 50 years protecting public areas from over 60 bird-spread transmissible diseases. The leading international brand of humane bird control solutions, this Chicago-based company manufactures a complete line of unique bird control products, protecting the health of humans, wildlife, and the environment by deterring birds from unwanted areas without harming them.

For information on any of Bird-X’s humane pest control products, please call customer service at (800) 662-5021.
