If aluminum has 3 valence electrons, how many valence electrons does boron have? and if chlorine has 7 valence electrons, how many valence electronsdoes iodine have? erg I was never good with science and I need to study this for my finals.help me please.
Absolutely do NOT use any form of chemical flea/tick killer around infants A very simple solution to your problem is a product containing what is called nematodesThey are what are jokingly referred to as a flea's fleaThe nematodes feed on the fleas by laying their eggs on the fleaThe eggs hatch and bore into the flea and eat it from the inside Following the instructions is best but when I use it I take a pump up sprayer and lightly spray the carpeted area to be treated with distilled waterI then shake the powered nematodes on the carpetIt only takes about a week for them to kill any number of fleas to be found not only in the carpet but on the furniture and on the animals as they will roll around on the carpet when they are playingNematodes are not harmful to humans and are the greenest way to go to kill fleas.
Unfortunately any spray or flea bombs that I know of are going to be bad to use with a baby aroundI would say call the vet you had for your cat and ask what they recommendNo rude remarks here, I sympathize with the situationLast year was a horrible year for fleas, I have two cats who are always indoors and yet they somehow ended up with fleas and they were everywhereThe vet told me they can come right through the window screensI don't have any small children so I was able to use some spray called Knockout area treatment that I got from the vetGood luck.
We had a flea problem about three years ago just before I had my son, we tried everything to get rid of the little blighters, vacuuming, borax on the carpets, bob martin flea products (personally I wouldn't bother with these) flea combs etc in the end we took up all the carpets in the house and put down laminate flooring because they were living in the carpets, we got a strong spot on from our vets which killed the flea at all levels of its life cycle because that is important, if you don't the eggs and larvae can lay dormant and hatch, we also used a household flea spray which did the same, within a few months the problem had cleared and we havent had a flea problem since then, we do treat all our cats with acclaim flea spot on which appears to keep the horrible things at bay.
Simple rule of thumb: the number of the column is the number of valence electrons an atom has in that column (Note: The important elements to which this rule applies are for metals in the 1A/2A/3B columns, all nonmetals, Al, Ge, Ga, and In) For instance: If I started in row 2, then Na would have one (because it's in 1A), Mg would have 2 (2A), Al would have 3 (3A), Si would have 4 (Do you see where I'm going here)Remember this and your valence electron questions will be a snap!
I'd skip the flea bombs- around here the fleas seem to have developed a resistance to them! I know the last three lots I purchased certainly didn't work! Fleas are an expensive nuisance here- three cats, two dogs (one's over 60kg!) and an acre of bushland full of ground flees surrounded by farmland makes for a never ending battle against these tiny terrors! I'm forking out close to $200 a MONTH on flea treatments because we have to treat our animals weekly! So you definitely have my sympathy! The ONLY thing that seems to work for inside the house here is vacuuming, vacuuming and you guessed it- MORE vacuuming! I've heard of the nematodes, if you can get some try them- I'm in the process of trying to obtain some but my local livestock supply store is having a great deal of trouble with getting themOutside plant herbs EVERYWHERE, mint seems to work the best here but any extremely strongly scented plant is not that popular with the little vampires!
