Unlike roaches, termites live in large social groups with several types of termites.\r\rThere are over 2000 species of termite known to exist, the most common being subterranean that live underground in colonies consisting of approximately 3 million members. Subterranean termites maintain their nest by chewing wood fibre into a fibrous pulp then ingesting it through special stomachs called pseudogyne. They used symbiotic bacteria to digest the cellulose components turning them into carbohydrates. The workers feed on this substance while maintaining and building their colony or nest. This is what makes termites destructive because they chew away at wooden structures slowly but surely until their presence becomes visible when swarms of winged termites appear in a search for new places to colonise and build new nests.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you know if you have booklice?

era of digital television in Australia began in 2013.\r\rIf you do not have cable or satellite services a digital antenna provides the station signals to be transmitted more clearly on your TV, and helps amplify the signal, especially if you are on the edge of the station range.\r\rThe only drawback is that the reception will not be as good and unless you live in a very flat area, most likely you will need to adjust your antenna after it is installed.\r\rAntennas come in all shapes and sizes depending on where they are installed. If they are placed on a roof mount most likely they will look like any other TV antenna with two metal arms. However if they are mounted indoors, such as on a wall or near a window or door, they might look more like an architectural model of the Eiffel Tower than an antenna since most building materials do not allow for proper reception.\r\rThis can be used to their advantage in some cases since unlike traditional antennas these newer ones designed for interior installation can often incorporate style factors.\r\rUnfortunately it is almost impossible to recommend one antenna suitable for all applications; the best thing to do is visit a store and compare products. The most important factors are range and location; if you live very close to the transmitters then your reception will be much better than someone who lives further out and wants especially strong signals.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How does a digital antenna work?","text":"Digital signals work a little differently from analog. With analog, the signal is transmitted directly from your antenna to your TV. So in case of any signal problems, you may experience blurring in the program (sound or image). \r\rWith digital, the signal needs to be decoded before you can see or hear a program. Digital antennas come with a built-in filter to improve image quality, as well as to reduce blur that may occur because of a blurry signal. This is done through the UHF Band (Ultra High Frequency) and VHF Band (Very High Frequency).\r\rHDTV antennas receive electromagnetic signals that convert them into video and audio. \r\rAn exterior-mounted HDTV antenna also pulls signals from more than one station, which decreases your risk of picking up a weaker signal during an outage at another station along the same line of sight. In fact, many service providers will recommend an exterior installation because it's less likely you'll lose reception during bad weather. \r\rThe downside to an exterior installation is that your signal may be affected by trees and buildings. The higher your antenna, the further its reach under most circumstances. Some antennas are better at sending signals around objects than others, although a high-quality HDTV antenna will usually outperform a standard model regardless of where it's located. In cases where you live in a rural area or other location where you cannot get a clear line of sight to the broadcast towers, an outdoor HDTV antenna should work best because it can capture very weak

A slanted roof allows rain to run off easier than a flat roof and with the overhang of the roof, you can still feel as though you are outside in the rain without getting wet. \r\rThe best way to build a slanted shed roof is with trusses. A truss is a framing system where an assembly of wood or metal beams join together to form triangular units and are used to bridge longer spans. Trusses are usually designed by engineers because they have to withstand quite a bit more stress than regular framing systems and can be made out of many different combinations of materials such as wood, steel, or aluminium.

","text":"Motorised outdoor blinds are great for homes that have large outdoor living space windows or skylights.\r\rThese kinds of windows tend to let in a large amount of light, which can make rooms appear warmer and more inviting. Unfortunately, some rooms need the opposite effect. For instance, if your home office has an abundance of natural lighting during the summer months, it can be distracting while you're trying to complete work projects. By closing the curtains or motorised roller blinds, you can block out this unwanted light and help keep your focus on what's important. The motor system allows the roller blind to open and close with ease.\r\rThis can also be helpful for homes that have an outdoor area where it's difficult to reach windows, including upper walls. When you can't easily operate your window coverings, there's a risk of leaving the shade up all night long and letting in too much light could prove costly on your energy bill. If this is something you wish to avoid, consider investing in automated shades or sheer curtains.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What kinds of motorised outdoor blinds are available?

Vertical blinds are known for their versatility, as they can be easily used in all kinds of decorating styles. The battery-powered motors are installed behind the blinds, so there's no need to worry about unattractive panel boxes or cords showing on your outdoor space.\r\rRoller shades are another popular option because they're easy to maintain and provide additional quality components that help with insulation from the sun's rays. The spring-loaded roller shades also work well for large windows. \r\rMini blinds are best for rooms that receive minimal sunlight. These types of window treatments can be opened and closed quickly while still maintaining their stylish look. They are highly recommended by most interior designers in Australia.\r\rWood shutters are typically installed in rooms where privacy is a top concern, such as bedrooms or bathrooms. When you use the motor system to close the shutters, it creates an appealing look that's similar to plantation shutters.\r\rIt's also possible to purchase motorised outdoor window covering accessories separately from your window treatment system. For example, some systems come with custom made remote controls that allow you to operate the product from far away without needing to stand near the windows giving them the wow factor.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Can I use a motorised outdoor blind with my smartphone?

Cotton is also more attractive than many other fabrics, including polyester, which means that you won't need to worry about your window coverings detracting from your decor or interior design. They are also easy to cut or modify.\r\rPolyester will still help block out sunlight without being too heavy, which makes it a good choice for rooms with high humidity levels or lots of moisture in the air. Polyester is also less expensive than most other materials, so if cost is a concern, this might be your best choice. \r\rCanvas is often used on outdoor blinds that are meant to be permanent fixtures, as it's highly durable and won't tear over time.

There are also several style options from different veneers, be they laminate or wood. Additionally, you can reduce costs by refacing them as compared to replacing them with new cabinets. Refacing is also environmentally friendly as it reduces the cutting of more trees to make new cabinets. Replacing kitchen cabinet doors can be an expensive project.\r\rThe cons include wood veneer requires finishing, which has additional procedures like staining and varnishing. Secondly, layout adjustments are impossible as refacing does not provide an opportunity to change the kitchen design. The next con of refacing is that the interior of cabinet boxes remain the same or an update will mean incurring high costs.\r\rIt's difficult to do refacing yourself especially if you lack the skill and patience.

bicuspid tooth is one of the premolars or first molars. Everyone has bicuspids in between premolar teeth.\r\rMolars are significantly larger in size than their bicuspid neighbours (incisors and canines). They have a broad chewing surface that helps to chew food more easily. Molars have four cusps whereas premolars have two cusps or points. \r\rSince bicuspid teeth are used for cutting, tearing, or shredding food, it is important to brush them after every meal. Bacteria tend to grow on these types of teeth especially if they aren't flossed daily. Bacteria will cause cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.\r\rThere are two premolars in each quadrant (quadrants = left-right upper bottom and upper right lower left), one on the left side and the other on the right side of both jaws. The four premolars together are called \"bicuspids\" because there are two cusps (bumps) per tooth; an anterior and a posterior cusp.\r\rThe front teeth have an anterior, and a posterior cusp whereas the back teeth have a labial and lingual cusp.\r\rThe upper 4 bicuspids are distinguished as \"maxillary\" (the ones next to your eyes) or \"mandibular\" (the ones next to your chin).\r\rThere are eight premolars altogether, four on top and four on the bottom, but only two of them are referred to as \"bicuspids\" - the ones in each quadrant nearest the midline of your body. Those two are also called either maxillary (on top) or mandibular (on bottom), depending upon which side they're located on.\r\rThe premolar teeth have a single root. Other teeth that may only have one root include incisors and canines. While molars have at least two roots, with the upper molars typically having three roots.\r\rThe bicuspids are also called permanent teeth located between molar teeth. We have two canines in our permanent dentition with two in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw.\r\rBehind the canines, you have 2 incisor teeth in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. Bicuspids are also called adult teeth, they come in after the primary teeth also called baby teeth as well. The secondary teeth are more strong and large in size than primary or baby teeth.\r\rA person with permanent or adult teeth has permanent dentition means which means 32 teeth. Transitional teeth are located between premolar teeth and work both like canine and molar teeth.\r\rBoth premolar and molar teeth can easily be identified and described by their peculiar shape and size.
