Easy ways to get rid of bed bugs

Bed bugs can make it difficult to sleep and may leave red itchy marks on the skin. These tiny insects often hide in beds sofas clothes and other dark places during the day.

At night they become active and feed on people. Even a few bed bugs can quickly turn into a bigger problem if they are not treated properly.  While many bed bug sprays are available in stores some people also try simple home methods to control them.

Use hot air

A hair dryer can be used to blow hot air into cracks corners and other places where bed bugs or their eggs may be hiding.  Heat can kill bed bugs but care is important. Never use a hair dryer near flammable materials.

Try mint leaves

Bed bugs may dislike strong smells such as mint. Fresh mint leaves can be placed near beds sofas or areas where bed bugs are found. However mint should not be considered a reliable way to kill bed bugs. It may only help make certain areas less attractive to them.

Wash bedding in hot water

Wash bedsheets pillow covers clothes and other washable items that may contain bed bugs in hot water.  After washing dry them thoroughly using high heat if the fabric allows it. Heat can help kill bed bugs and their eggs and reduce their numbers.

Keep the area clean

Baking soda is sometimes suggested as a home remedy for bed bugs but there is limited evidence that it can kill them.  Instead of relying on baking soda regularly vacuum mattresses sofas carpets and cracks where bed bugs may hide.

If the infestation has become large home remedies may not be enough.  In such cases contacting a professional pest control service is usually a better option.

  • Don’t let art die in Turbat

    Written by Muhammad Naseer It is deeply disappointing that in a big, developed and educated city like Turbat, there is not a single drawing academy. Art is no longer just a hobby. In today’s generation, it is a great field and a promising career option. Students can make a future in graphic design, animation, architecture, fashion designing, and fine arts. However, young people in Turbat have no platform, no teacher, and no institution to learn and improve their skills. I myself am practicing for a college-level art competition and I am planning to pursue this field after completing my FSc. But due to the absence of any academy in our city, students like me are forced to learn alone without proper guidance. The government, education department, and local organizations should take serious steps to establish a drawing and art academy in Turbat. This will help our talented youth explore their creativity and build a secure future in the field of art.

    China’s Chongqing East becomes world’s largest railway station

    Almost everyone has travelled by train at some point and has seen railway stations. But do you know which country is home to the world’s largest railway station? If you do not, here is the answer: the world’s largest railway station is located in China and is nothing short of an architectural marvel. China is already known for numerous engineering wonders ranging from remarkable bridges to the world’s largest high-speed railway network. Chongqing East Railway Station Chongqing East Railway Station located in southwestern China is the world’s largest railway station in terms of area. It was opened to the public in June 2025. The railway station covers an area of approximately 13 million square feet equivalent to around 170 football fields. It is also about five times larger than New York’s Grand Central Terminal. The station has 15 platforms and 29 railway tracks and during peak hours, it can accommodate around 16,000 passengers per hour. Around 16,500 tonnes of steel were used for its roof. However, the most remarkable feature of the station is the speed at which it was constructed and it was built on top of a mountain. The Chongqing region is mountainous which has traditionally made the development of transportation infrastructure particularly challenging. The station was constructed in just 38 months with the help of around 40,000 workers and a fleet of robotic machinery. Although 38 months may seem like a long period, in many countries, simply obtaining approval for projects of this scale can take longer than that.

    The rise of Alfred, Lord Tennyson

    On August 6, 1809, one of the defining literary voices of the 19th century was born: Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Tennyson came to embody the doubts, solemnity, and romantic ideals of the Victorian era. He served as Britain’s Poet Laureate for more than four decades during the height of Queen Victoria’s reign. Early Brilliance and Sharp Criticism Tennyson’s journey to becoming a beloved national figure was anything but smooth. Raised in a large, tumultuous household by a clergyman father, young Alfred sought escape through verse. His talents surfaced early; while studying at Cambridge, he won the prestigious Chancellor’s Gold Medal in 1829 for his poem Timbuktu. Shortly thereafter, he published early collections containing works such as Mariana and Claribel. These early publications showcased his extraordinary musicality and eye for detail, yet contemporary critics were not entirely impressed. Severe reviews dismissed his work as overly melancholic, affected, and sentimental. The hostility of these early critiques shook Tennyson deeply, prompting a decade-long period of publishing silence. A phase scholars often refer to as his ten years’ silence. Crafting the Masterpieces Rather than abandoning his craft, Tennyson spent those quiet years refining his technique, studying philosophy, and confronting personal tragedy. The sudden death of his closest friend, Arthur Henry Hallam, plunged Tennyson into profound grief. This loss became the catalyst for his most famous masterpiece, In Memoriam A.H.H. Published in 1850, the massive elegy explored faith, mortality, and scientific progress, striking a deep chord with a Victorian public navigating rapid industrialization and societal change. The immense success of In Memoriam transformed his standing almost overnight. That same year, following the death of William Wordsworth, Queen Victoria appointed Tennyson as Poet Laureate. He went on to compose iconic works that defined the national consciousness, including The Charge of the Light Brigade, Ulysses, and his epic Arthurian cycle, Idylls of the King. A Lasting Literary Legacy While early critics painted him as a sentimentalist, history remembers Tennyson as a master craftsman of English rhythm and sound. Lines like; “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield” (Ulysses) have woven themselves permanently into the modern lexicon. His ability to blend intimate personal emotion with grand societal themes elevated him from a criticized young poet to an enduring pillar of world literature. Key Milestones in Tennyson’s Career 1809: Born in Somersby, Lincolnshire on August 6. 1829: Wins the Chancellor’s Gold Medal at Cambridge for Timbuktu. 1830: Publishes Poems, Chiefly Lyrical, introducing works like Mariana and Claribel. 1850: Publishes In Memoriam A.H.H. and is appointed Poet Laureate by Queen Victoria. 1854: Pens The Charge of the Light Brigade, capturing national sentiment during the Crimean War. 1892: Passes away at age 83, buried in Poets’ Corner at Westminster Abbey.
