Combat Ant & Roach Killing Bait Strips Product Review

Attack the source and prevent pests from returning with NEW Combat Ant & Roach Killing Bait Strips!

The same killing power found in Combat Gels is now available in a new discreet design. These thin bait strips have an adhesive backing that makes it easy to hide out of sight and reach of children and pets.

Combat Killing Bait Strips are easy to apply and leave NO MESS. The unique gel bait formula contains food and water that roaches and ants seek, combined with Fipronil, a fast acting insecticide that begins killing within hours once the insect has come into contact with the bait.

What Makes Combat Strips Different

Unlike spray insecticides that just kill the bugs you see, Combat Killing Bait Strips are designed to kill the nest and colony that are beyond your reach - attacking the source of the pest problem. Simply place the bait strips wherever you've seen ants or roaches. For maximum effectiveness, all bait strips should be used at one time and replaced once the bait has been consumed, or as indicated on the package.



How Combat Bait Strips Work

Roaches or ants find the bait strips and eat the bait.

Insects carry the bait back to the nest or colony.

Other insects in the nest or colony are exposed to the insecticide and the entire nest is destroyed.

These strips can be used both indoor and outdoor and are GUARANTEED to work or your money back! What do you have to lose?

Where to Buy

Combat Killing Bait Strips are available in 5-count Ant and 10-count Roach varieties, and can be found at major retailers including Walmart, Home Depot, Target, Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Publix. (as well as many others!)

Here is a close up picture of the products that I was sent to try:



I have been a Combat user for years so I was actually really interested to see how well these products would work. The weather here has been a little cool for our area - still in the 60's and 70's so we haven't had a major problem with insects just yet. We had a few 80 degree days back to back and of course, I did see ants when the weather warmed up. I attached an ant strip to the siding right outside our side door. There is a small opening where the storm door doesn't completely seal and ants LOVE sneaking in there. I also stuck a roach strip outside our front door as I have seen several roaches scuttling on the front porch in the summer time. YUCK! I will have a better idea how well these products work once the insects start coming out more. I was impressed with how discreet and easy these strips were to apply. I also REALLY liked that they could be applied outdoors if necessary. A lot of these types of products can only be used indoors so that was a nice surprise. If you are looking for a simple solution to your ant and/or roach problem, give these a try. They are VERY discreet and don't leave any mess or residue behind. :)

Combat provided me with a sample of Combat Killing Bait Strips (both roach & ant) in exchange for a product review. The opinions expressed here are my own and not influenced by the company in any way.

Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash Product Review

Make bath time fun with NEW Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash!

For 65 years, the Dial brand has been developing trusted personal care products for clean, healthy skin. Dial is excited to announce its entry into the kids' personal care segment with NEW Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash that offers age-appropriate variants developed to address the specific skin needs of children. Dial Kids Peachy Clean for ages 2+ and Dial Kids Watery Melon and Berry Cool for ages 6+.

Developed with pediatric dermatologists, Dial introduces specialized formulas for children ages 2-5 and 6-10, helping parents make smart decisions when it comes to kids' perfect skin. The 2-in-1 formulas combine shampoo and body wash for one speedy step!

Here is a picture of the product line:



Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash for ages 2+

Meant for children aged 2-5, this body wash is perfect for kids that have outgrown traditional newborn soaps, yet are not ready for adult strength body and hair wash.

The Peachy Clean variant provides ultra gentle cleansing with a fun, light scent!

Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash for ages 6+

For children ages 6+, Dial offers mild cleansing without drying out your child's delicate skin.

Watery Melon and Berry Cool variants contain bright, vibrant colors and fun scents that take bath time to a whole new level of fun!

ALL products are:

-Tear free
-Hypoallergenic
-No artificial dyes or added parabens
-Ph balanced
-Available at your local retailer's kids cleansing or body wash section

I was sent a bottle of the Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash for ages 6+ in the Watery Melon scent. The scent was REALLY melony without being overly strong. It had a nice lather that was easy to spread over skin and hair. Since the formula is tear free and hypoallergenic, you don't have to worry about any skin irritations or stingy eyes! Why ruin bath time with a product that burns your eyes?! The thing that I liked most about this product was that it lathered quickly & easily and rinsed thoroughly. There wasn't any slimy residue left on the skin. A mild fragrance was left behind but again, it wasn't at all too strong or overpowering. I definitely want to check out the Berry Cool variety next as this is a really great body wash! It is kid approved and a special product just for them. :) If you have little ones that LOVE bath time, give this product a try. Heck, you might even want to try it for yourself! :)

The Happiest Baby Guide to Great Sleep by Harvey Karp, M.D.

Finally, kids do come with instructions!

Surprisingly simple steps to boost your little child's sleep fast!

Dr. Harvey Karp made doctors applaud and parents cheer with his brilliant solutions to centuries-old problems such as colic and tantrums. Now, in THE HAPPIEST BABY GUIDE TO GREAT SLEEP: Simple Solutions for Kids from Birth to 5 Years (William Morrow Paperback; On-Sale: March 19, 2013; $15.99; ISBN: 9780062113320), Dr. Karp stuns the world again by solving the #1 problem plaguing new parents: exhaustion. Dr. Karp's surprising insights include:



-How to train brand new babies to sleep better: Infants can be taught to sleep at least one extra hour from the first weeks of life! Dr. Karp shows how to safely boost baby sleep in just days.

-What’s the best white noise (and which ones worsen sleep): The right white noise (low pitched and rumbling) is the key to good sleep—even through teething—for all babies. Plus, it even gives parents a more restful sleep

-Why parents should always wake a sleeping baby: For good sleep, babies must learn how to self-soothe. The best way to teach babies how to fall back to sleep—when they rouse in the middle of the night—is to wake them just as they’re being put into bed.

-How to enjoy the benefits - and avoid the risks - of swaddling: Swaddling dramatically improves a new baby’s sleep. Yet, many states are shockingly banning this ancient parenting tool. Smart moms should do it and Dr. Karp will teach them how to do it properly and safely.

-The importance of powering down: Staring at bright screens at night (TVs, computers, phones) can wreak a toddler and a parent’s sleep.

-Easy "no-cry" tips that end infant and toddler bedtime struggles in just days!

With THE HAPPIEST BABY GUIDE TO GREAT SLEEP, no longer will new parent have to suffer months of sleep deprivation and no longer will babies have to cry themselves to sleep. Backed by compelling science, common sense and decades of experience, Dr. Karp’s landmark guide will revolutionize how millions of children drift off to dreamland.

This book is VERY informative and is perfect for ANY parent (especially new parents) that are looking for some helpful tips to get their little ones to sleep more efficiently. Even if you don't have a newborn, there are great tips for older babies and even toddlers! This book would make a GREAT gift! I have shared it with several friends and co-workers to get their opinions and each of them were able to find some helpful tips. I would highly recommend checking out this book. I think it is around $12-$13 on Amazon right now and believe me, it's worth every penny! A relaxing night's sleep is PRICELESS!! :)
