In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS ), published a scientific discovery by scientists at Vanderbilt University in the United States.

Accidentally found a new insect repellent, thousands of times more powerful than today. After I studied, was that not only was effective against mosquitoes, but also against flies, moths, ants and many insects. The investigations were being undertaken were to control the spread of malaria in the world.

The product is based on the sense of smell disorder mosquitoes. It has now been discovered that the smell of mosquitoes is located on the antennae. Also that the olfactory system of mosquitoes and other insects is very different from what we previously believed.

Vanderbilt University and began the process to patent the discovery and at the same time is negotiating with various companies for the production and subsequent marketing of the new product. They want the main focus of the product is against the spread of malaria.

Being able to control more effectively the various insects, pets will be able to rest more peaceful. In hot weather, pets are often like crazy when you can not control especially flies and mosquitoes.

Let’s see some simple tips to keep your cat indoors and avoid losing. Buy toys for cats. This will help distract him from the lure of outdoor activities.

Playing in the house with your cat and make it look like a happy place, a foolproof method even with small children! Get a litter box if you do not already have one. The first few days put a little dirt or sand from the patio a few inches of the litter box for the change is not too abrupt. Place the litter box in an easily accessible place. Gradually mix the soil with kitty litter.

Then go to use cat litter only. Be sure to clean the litter box every day. Cats are naturally clean creatures, and should encourage the use of the sandbox. If it is too dirty, the cat may decide to go elsewhere in the house. Make sure your cat has a permanent identification if it escapes.

With the term homes for animals we refer to the place the animal used for its sleep habits. Do not forget that when we see a pet we are really seeing the tame a wild animal that had its wild habitat area, as a den, nest or den.

Animal habitat change are the landforms in which a specific animal prefers to live. Some animals prefer forests, grasslands and many can live only in ponds, rivers, lakes or streams. Many animals live underground or in crevices or caves.

Their homes range from burrows, caves, hollow logs, galls on plants and trees, so many types of nests. It should recreate the best possible resting place of the wild animal for that feel comfortable.

Study your pet, to learn about the habits and characteristics of animals will be able to recreate its burrow, nest, etc. perfectly.

Here are three options. A combination of these is the best alternative in case a form of identification does not work.

Licenses. Usually, buying, your pet is assigned a number that is still in a database. The tags are attached to the collar of the pet. If your pet is, the animal control officer can check the tag number of the collar, and call to let you know they have a pet.

The disadvantages of using a label are: the label can be dropped and lost, may not be legible; your pet may lose his collar.

Tattoo. Tattoos are commonly recorded in one ear of the pet for sterilization surgery. Tattoos are a visible and permanent method of identification.

Microchip. A microchip is a small electronic chip, about the size of a grain of rice that is implanted under the skin of the pet. It is administered quickly and painlessly with a simple injection.

Always supervise your pets until you are absolutely sure you get along. Until then, separate your pets, limited at least one of them to his own room. Only allow them to interact with others with your supervision. We can take hours, days, weeks or even months to fully adjust your pets to each other.

Introduce your pets in controlled situations. Keep your dog on a leash and do not tolerate any aggressive behavior. If you are making a cat a dog, do not let the dog chase and corral the cat, even if it were a game or curiosity.

Introducing a cat to a dog, DO NOT hold the cat in his arms. A cat can be frightened or nervous Arun.

Allow your new pet become familiar with their new home. Temporarily limit the space for other pets to give your new pet a chance to feel more comfortable with his surroundings.
