Rescued in 2000 byย  MTF Xi-5, โ€œNewton's Bullies,โ€ during the preliminary exploration into SCP-35320โ€™s domain, anomalous location SCP 35320-1, ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘…โ€™s introduction to the Foundation was nothing short of a miracle. Missing person reports from the time revealed that ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘… had been reported as MIA after he disappeared during a training exercise in the Tucson Mountains by Unit 162 WG of the Arizona Air National Guard on November 17, 1998. Itโ€™s in the popular belief that ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘… was selected at random by SCP-35320 due to his age or simply because the opportunity presented itself as no one else in his unit was captured by 35320 for its โ€˜game.โ€™ [See Mission File #871-341-X for more information. Must be Clearance Level 5 or higher to access the file.] Once Xi-5 breached the boundary of anomalous location SCP 35320-1, the parameters to SCP-35320โ€™s โ€˜gameโ€™ were met, and it began to systematically hunt down members of Xi-5, leading to multiple casualties. X-9, Op. Zuri Williams, and X-4, Op. Thomas Smith (KIA) made initial contact with ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘… after they became separated from the rest of the unit. The Foundation promptly took him into custody for debriefing once Xi-5 exited SCP-35320โ€™s domain. However, due to the Foundationโ€™s limited research on SCP-35320, it soon became apparent that the likelihood of Xi-5 escaping was incredibly low as SCP-35320 dispatched more unit members. In an act of desperation, MTFC Ingrid Olsen made the call that ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘… would be of better use as a soldier under Olsenโ€™s command rather than a prisoner. This decision was what ultimately allowed for the neutralization of SCP-35320 as ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘…โ€™s knowledge of the terrain and SCP-35320โ€™s โ€˜rulesโ€™ were immeasurably valuable for the success of the mission. Because of his usefulness during the mission, the question of what to do with ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘… after debriefing led to both Head Researcher, Dr. Diego Ochoa, and the MTF Xi-5 Commander contacting separate Ethics Committee liaisons due to the uniqueness of this case. To avoid potentially losing a valuable asset to the Foundation, the Ethics Committee decreed to spare ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘…, offering the man options of receiving Class B amnestics and returning to his family, or joining the Foundation. It is unclear why ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘… made the choice he did, but the Foundation gained an invaluable asset that day. In his 24 years of service with the Foundation since this incident,ย  ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘… has come to sport an impressive career in various MTFs, such asย  Delta-4 โ€œMinutemen,โ€ Lambda-12 โ€œPest Control,โ€ and Xi-13 โ€œSequere Nosโ€ before finally landing in Omega-1 โ€œLaw's Left Handโ€ after being hand selected by the Ethics Committee for his part in in the Xerox Revision. While he is one of the most reliable mainstays in Omega-1, it is unclear how much longer the Ethics Committee is willing to risk ๐‘†๐‘€๐‘‚๐‘‚๐‘‡๐ป ๐‘‚๐‘ƒ๐ธ๐‘…๐ด๐‘‡๐‘‚๐‘… in the field.

Bats Are In Trouble. Thatโ€™s Not good For Anyone Who Likes Mezcal, Rice or Avocado
Some of Our Favorite Foods and Drinks Rely on These Oft-Misunderstood Mammals, Which are Facing Multiple Threats
โ€” By Whitney Bauck | Thursday 21 March 2024
Tumblr media

If Youโ€™ve Ever Enjoyed Coffee โ˜•๏ธ, Tomatoes ๐Ÿ…, Corn ๐ŸŒฝ, Bananas ๐ŸŒ, Mangoes ๐Ÿฅญ, Walnuts, Chocolate ๐Ÿซ, Tequila ๐Ÿบ or Mezcal, You May Just Owe Bats a Thank-You.
While bats are often the subject of fear and scorn โ€“ theyโ€™re fixtures in Halloween decor and haunted-house imagery, and are frequently portrayed as harbingers of doom โ€“ their presence is often a sign of a thriving ecosystem. Some of our favorite food and drinks would be much less plentiful, or even nonexistent, without them.
Bats play a few significant roles in human food systems. Some serve as a form of natural pest control by feeding on insects that can destroy crops like corn and pecans. Others pollinate species like bananas, coconuts, avocados and agave, a role many people associate with bees and butterflies. And some fruit-eating bats help maintain wild plant populations through seed dispersal โ€“ think mangoes, cashews, figs and almonds.
Tumblr media

Despite all the ways that bats help ecosystems thrive, โ€œthey often get forgottenโ€ in conservation conversations, and in peopleโ€™s estimations of what it takes to maintain sustainable food systems, said Kristen Lear, who works at Bat Conservation International. Whether itโ€™s because we just donโ€™t notice bats (as nocturnal animals, theyโ€™re certainly not easy to observe) or because we tend to associate them with dark and spooky things, bats are rarely championed. But as threats from habitat destruction, disease and climate change mount, itโ€™s time that changed.
No Bats, No Tequila
Most of the time when you order a margarita, you probably arenโ€™t thinking about bats โ€“ but maybe you should be. Tequila is made from agave, and agave plants have long relied on bats for both pollination and seed dispersal.
The Mexican long-nosed bat, which has co-evolved with agave for millions of years, is a fuzzy little gray-brown creature that uses its 3in-long tongue to slurp nectar from agave flowers that bloom at night. This migratory species travels from west Texas and south-western New Mexico down into Mexico each year, keeping pace with the blooming periods of agave and flowering cacti.
But as demand for tequila and mezcal โ€“ another spirit made from agave โ€“ has grown, the plant is increasingly being harvested at scales that put these migratory bats at risk. After having been appreciated in Mexico for hundreds of years, agave-based spirits are becoming increasingly popular abroad, and nowhere are they more sought-after than in the US, where about 80% of the worldโ€™s tequila is sold.
โ€œAgave spirits from Mexico are very trendy now. Probably that trend started 10 years ago, but in the last four or five years, it has been intense,โ€ said Diana Pinzรณn, a forestry engineer who works with small-scale mezcal producers. โ€œItโ€™s a big problem for agaves endemic to Mexico, and for the bats and all the biodiversity around the ecosystems where the agaves grow.โ€
Tumblr media

US thirst for agave-based spirits, and the money that can be made from selling them, is driving growers to harvest at a scale and in a manner thatโ€™s not sustainable long-term, according to Pinzรณn. In many places, agave plants are chopped down before theyโ€™ve had time to bloom, leaving bats that rely on the flowersโ€™ nectar with one less food source.
Producers can grow new agave by working with โ€œbabyโ€ shoots sent out by parent plants, but without bats cross-pollinating them, the new plants are all clones and lose genetic diversity over time. Pinzรณn fears this will make the plants less resilient in the face of climate threats and extreme weather.
โ€œThese two species evolved together for the last 10m years. If you lose one, you lose the other,โ€ she said.
Pinzรณn is building a small-label brand called Zinacantรกn Mezcal with a fourth-generation agave grower who leaves 20% of the crop in the field for the bats, and believes that limiting the amount of production of agave-based spirits is the only path forward for any legitimate claim to sustainability.
โ€œThe demand is like cars in the city. If you build a new freeway [to fix traffic], more cars will just end up on the road,โ€ she said. โ€œSo the [agave] projects need to put limits and say: โ€˜OK, we can make that quantity [of spirits] every year and no more.โ€™ We need to recognize and take action to mitigate our ecological impact.โ€
The Bug-Eaters
Troy Swift has been farming pecans in Texas since 1998, but hadnโ€™t thought about building bat houses near his orchards until recently. He was first inspired when Merlin Tuttle, a legendary bat conservationist, visited his farm and suggested it. โ€œHe said: โ€˜Troy, with the biodiversity you have here, you really might want to consider using bats as part of your pest-control program,โ€™โ€ Swift recalled.
It wasnโ€™t long before Swift started building his own bat houses. Within six months, bats had moved in. He now has 17 bat houses on his property, and is working with Tuttleโ€™s organization to quantify the impact that the bats have on his crop. Together, theyโ€™ve used echolocation technology and guano (bat dropping) DNA sampling to learn that there are at least seven species of bats living on Swiftโ€™s farm. They also found that over the course of six weeks, the bats had eaten more than 100 species of insects.
Tumblr media

Theyโ€™re still trying to gather enough data to prove whether or not the bats are helping control the specific pest insects that eat pecans, but having found that the bats eat mosquitoes, flies and pests that bother livestock is already enough to convince Swift that bats have a role to play on farms.
โ€œWhat weโ€™re trying to do is leverage the use of bats into all agriculture and teach farmers that these bats are really your friends,โ€ Swift said.
Other studies have already concluded that bats are providing farmers free pest-control services, whether they know it or not. Bats save more than $1bn a year in crop damage and pesticide use in the US corn industry, and more than $3bn a year across all agricultural production, according to Jade Florence, a biologist at the US Fish and Wildlife Service, who has worked on bat conservation efforts.
Simply having bats around, even when theyโ€™re not feeding, helps keep pests under control, according to Lear of Bat Conservation International. โ€œThe mere presence of bats in agricultural fields can actually suppress the activity of those insects,โ€ she said.
How To Help Bats Under Threat
For all the good they do for food systems, bats face numerous threats. โ€œMany species around the world, including here in the US, are undergoing some sort of habitat loss, whether thatโ€™s disturbance to their roost sites in caves or mines or trees, or loss of foraging habitat โ€“ loss of forests or agricultural areas that have healthy insect populations,โ€ said Lear. Other threats include the extreme weather caused by the climate crisis and diseases like white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that has decimated North American bat populations.
Tumblr media

So what can be done? Lear has been working on a project with 60 partners across the US and Mexico to plant 115,000 agave plants in the Mexican long-nosed batsโ€™ migratory path. Her organization recommends exploring nature responsibly (for example, respecting cave closures in order to not expose bat populations to new pathogens), protecting old trees that can serve as bat roosts, keeping cats indoors where they canโ€™t harm bats and providing a water source in arid environments.
People who want to go one step further can build or buy a bat house and plant a bat-friendly garden with some native night-blooming flowers to attract nocturnal insects that bats can feed on. (Besides having a positive ecological benefit, โ€œitโ€™s just funโ€ having bats around, said Swift, who loves watching them emerge at dusk to hunt insects.)
But Lear said you can also help by doing something even simpler: talking about bats and why we need them. โ€œThe more we have people doing that to their friends and families, the more it will take root in their brains,โ€ she said. โ€œOver time, that will help gain public support for bat conservation.โ€

How to Protect windows and doors from termite pest?
Protecting your windows and doors from termite pests is essential to deter structural damage to your home. Termites can cause significant damage to wooden structures, and early prevention is key. Here are some steps you can take to protect your windows and doors from termite infestations:
Keep wood away from the ground: Termites are attracted to wood, so it's essential to keep woodpiles, mulch, and other wooden materials away from the foundation of your home. Make sure there is at least a 12-inch gap between the soil and any wood.
Use termite-resistant materials: Consider using termite-resistant building materials for your windows and doors. Pressure-treated wood, naturally resistant woods like cedar or redwood, or composite materials can help deter termite infestations.
Regularly inspect for signs of termites: Conduct regular inspections of your home's exterior, including windows and doors, for any signs of termite activity. Look for mud tubes, damaged wood, or discarded wings, which are indicators of a termite infestation.
Maintain proper ventilation and moisture control: Termites are attracted to moisture, wet places, so ensure that your home has good ventilation and that there are no moisture issues in the foundation or near windows and doors. Fix any leaks promptly, and consider using a dehumidifier in damp areas of your home.
Create a termite barrier: You can create a physical barrier to deter termites from entering your home. This can be done by installing termite shields, metal mesh, or plastic barriers between the soil and your foundation, around windows, and doors.
Apply termite treatments: Consider using termite treatments or barriers, such as liquid termiticides or bait stations, around your home's perimeter. These treatments can help prevent termites from reaching your windows and doors.
Seek professional help: If you suspect or discover a termite infestation, it's essential to contact a professional pest control service. They can assess the extent of the infestation and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include localized or whole-house termite treatments.
Regular maintenance: Stay proactive by maintaining your home and addressing any issues promptly. Regular inspections and maintenance can help you catch and address termite problems early.
Educate yourself: Educate yourself about termite behavior, signs of infestations, and prevention methods. The more you know, the better equipped you'll be to protect your home.
Remember that termite prevention is an ongoing process, and taking these proactive steps can help protect your windows and doors, as well as the overall structural integrity of your home. If you want to more information to protect your doors and windows in tucson, Arizona, contact Tucson Window and Door, they will come and assist you whatever the problem.

This may not seem like it matters much, but it is actually quite important. A local pest control company will know what type of insects and vermin are common to the area and they can handle them accordingly. For instance, scorpions are not common all over the US, yet they are a problem for many in Tucson. Calling this company means that they will be tackled so they will not pose a problem for you any longer.
2. Handling Residential And Commercial Clients
Sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint a decent pest control company since some of them only handle one type of client. An example of this would be having someone tell you that they are unable to help because you are a commercial customer. You will never have to worry about that with this business since they service anyone who has a pest problem and is in need of assistance.
3. Personalized Packages
There is something inherently wrong with any company that only offers predetermined flat rates for each customer, especially since everyone's needs are not the same. It is better when your particular situation is assessed and a package is created to accommodate you. This is not offered by all companies, but it is with Conquistador Pest and Termite.
4. The Warranty
If you have ever had a pest problem before, you probably know that some companies promise to rid you of critters and they are not as effective as they claimed to be. Imagine paying more than you can afford for a needed service and a little while later you are faced with the same issue. Instead of taking a chance on this happening to you, stick with a company that has a warranty, like this one.
As you can tell, there are many solid reasons to choose this company instead of calling one of their competitors. Between saving money and having personalized service available, it would be a mistake for you to ignore what is being offered here and look for something elsewhere. Doing so means that it is likely you will end up having buyer's remorse.

Finding A Reliable Bed Bug Exterminator
It doesnโ€™t matter if you are located in Tucson, Arizona or if you are located in New York there is going to be a time when you encounter bed bugs. While these little critters are not known for carrying any disease, they can be completely troublesome and cause a lot of mental anguish. And this is not to even mention the biting during the late night hours. While it might be tempting to handle the issue on your own, you are always best to turn to the professionals, as they will know how to handle the situations with care. Just keep in mind that this wonโ€™t be cheap, so you want to make sure you take the proper precautions to find the very best company possible, but how can you go about doing that?
ย  Properly Bonded And Insured
ย  In Tucson, Arizona it is completely illegal to open a pest control business without being properly licensed and insured. These precautions are put in place by the law to protect your property and protect you against liability issues. So, when you are looking for a company you always want to consider insurance and license information. If you ever come across a company that isnโ€™t properly licensed or insured, you probably just want to go ahead and move on because they arenโ€™t legitimate.
ย  Follow Up Visits
ย  It is extremely difficult to completely eliminate bed bugs. In fact, the truth of the matter is that it can sometimes take several visits and several treatments. This is probably something that you donโ€™t want to hear, but it is the complete truth. This is why you always want to look for a company that schedules follow up visits after they perform their first initial treatment. Any company that cares about their customers and the job they do will always be willing to come back and inspect the treatment site just to ensure that the issue was completely resolved.
ย  Willing To Work With You
ย  There isnโ€™t any since in hiring any company in the Tucson, Arizona area if they arenโ€™t willing to work with you. This is especially true when it comes to deal with pests like bed bugs. Not only are these critters extremely hard to eliminate, but also they are smarter than your average cockroach or rat. This is why it is extremely important to have great communication with the technician and company that you are dealing with. The tech should ask you probing questions about your problem, ask you if you have actually seen a bug, and pretty much ask you a variety of probing questions. Open and direct communication between you and tech is a must, otherwise it will be hard to resolve the infestation.
ย  Contracts
ย  Most people donโ€™t want to be drawn into a contract because it makes them feel suffocated or like they are stuck. This shouldnโ€™t be the case when you are dealing with an extermination company. In fact, you want them to offer you a contract, as it will protect you and the company. Never hire a company that isnโ€™t willing to offer you a contract, as this piece of paper will protect you and the company.

What is the best protection for wooden windows and doors from termites?
Typically, the doors and windows are adorable, well-designed, and furnished in the home, it should be quality, look, and feel is essential, so people are looking for modern and tidy doors and windows.
It is very important to protect wooden things from termites, or else we may have to spend more money to replace or repair the things.
Select termite-resistant wooden things: Opt for naturally termite-resistant woods such as cedar, redwood, or teak for your windows and doors. These types of woods are less appealing to termites and have natural oils that act as resistant.
Apply a Protective Finish: By applying a protective finish or coating to the wooden surfaces can create a barrier against termites and other creatures. Utilize a high-quality wood/glass sealant, varnish, or paint that is mainly designed to be termite-resistant. Make sure to cover all exposed wood surfaces, including the edges.
Maintain Proper Ventilation: Make sure proper ventilation in the spaces where the windows and doors are installed properly. Termites can thrive in humidity areas, so their good air circulation can support reducing moisture and prevent termite infesting.
Implement Physical Barriers: Install physical barriers to stop termites from reaching the wood. You may use metal screens or mesh with a small enough opening to block termite entry points.
Regular Inspections are mandatory: You have to do regular inspections of your wooden windows and doors to detect any signs of termite activity early on. Look for mud tubes, small holes, or sawdust-like droppings near the wooden surfaces. If you notice any suspicious signs of termites, better to consult with a pest control service for further evaluation and treatment.
Maintain Proper Drainage: Ensure that the area around your windows and doors has proper drainage without any blocks to prevent water accumulation. Termites are always liking to moisture and wet areas, so keeping the surroundings to be dried can discourage their presence.
Choose the proper Window and Door Company, they have to do all the wooden works - wooden door repairs, wooden window repairs, Door replacement services, Window replacement, glass door replacement, glass window replacement, sliding door replacement, and repair, repairing sliding window repair and services and more works. For all these kinds of works contact Tucson Window And Door Company in Tucson, Arizona.

The 1-bed apartment I lived in from 2017 to 2020 is in literally the most crime-ridden part of Tucson. The building has a ton of safety issues, including a heavy roach infestation. It was $585 a month (including utilities and pest "control") when I left, and now it's gone up to $725 with no utilities or pest control.
It's also under new management and changed names, with no mention on the old website of having been bought out or the name being changed. This is probably to try and keep the long history of bad reviews from coming up when you search for it, which another place I lived in also did after a bedbug infestation.
sometimes i get so angry about how the housing market bubble bursting led to the economy collapsing and literally never recovering for the middle class. likeโ€ฆbasically wiped out the middle class entirely, if weโ€™re being honest.
my bank just offered me a โ€œhigh yieldโ€ savings account. high yield! just a fucking amazing APY! โ€ฆthe APY is 0.4%. zero. point. four.
in 2006, i worked in a call center for $17.60 an hour and had a savings account with a 9% APY. not 0.9%, a full fucking 9%. iโ€™d only been with the call center for a year and a half, i was 24 years old, my credit was middling at best, and that savings account was brand fucking new with a bank iโ€™d NEVER banked with.
high yield. 0.4%.
my field is in-home healthcare now, and i get paid $9.25 an hour.
the fucking rage i feel at what was taken away from my end of my generation (eldest millennial) and fully denied to everyone younger than us is unreal sometimes.
