But Chelsea 's policy is not a bad one. If some of the loanee turn into Hazard, Neymar, Matic... then Chelsea could save a lot of money in buying world-class players. They dont have to pay the salaries for the loanee though. Stocking a lot of potential youngsters and wait for the hits. The games were dull lately , Mainz05, Wolfsburg, Stuttgart. There were no new ideas of attacking. Mostly 2 predictable approaches : - passed the ball around and backward then long ball forward (but often delivered to wrong addresses or to off-sided Lewa)- passed around sidewards and then to Bernat or Robben to dribble but they got caught and lost the balls often.

Could be waiting for all good players to come back from injuries but the thing is after injuries they need some time to gain back form and fluidity.

Work- What I did:1) Huge clean up. Disinfect every nook and cranny, every surface, etc. Make sure all food is sealed up. This included throwing out the toaster, as someone else mentioned.2) Regularly (twice daily) wiped surfaces down with a homemade repellant (I just googled recipes - I think the one I used was made from rubbing alcohol and boiled mint)The above steps seemed to keep them out of the normal living areas pretty well, but they were still in the roof. No evidence of them out and around (i.e, no poo reappearing in the living areas), but we could hear them in the roof at night. ...-And after I put it on cotton balls and mixed some in a spray bottle for the rooms not one teacher has had a mouse issue. It works great as long as you remember to refresh it every few weeks. And it smells good. It does have to essential oil 100% pure peppermint oil not the stuff from grocery stores. peppermint oil is good but u need to buy the 100% pure one which is expensive 100ml worth about $ 50 here down under. the one you buy from food store is only essence. it is not pure the pure one remains effective for about a month with out the need to replace the soaked cotton balls with oil- I have used hedge apples for many years. I place them around the outside of my detached garage and around the house. Not had any mice problems. I threw some in a crawl space in a rental house I had when the renters complained of mice. They havent seen or heard any since. - I tried hedge apples, but that did not work.- I discovered a mouse underneath my sink after baiting didnt work i tried the mint but i tried fresh minnt leaves cut them a bit fine and sprinkled at all entry points last nite was my first gud nite of sleep in 10 days .Try it guys it works-Also throw a bunch of Irish Spring leftover soap here and there. Rodents dislike that smell- Celestial Seasons makes a really strong peppermint tea, and the bags lay in the box two are attached. I put them everywhere I was cleaning up the poop. Since I put the bags down no poop anywhere no one mouse dropping!-i have just read most of these posts and was supriced no one has mentioned rubbing lemon on your skirting and using lemon floor cleaner to wash your floors as for carpets use citrus shake and vac for some reason they dont like citrus smells, i used all of the above and none of them worked apart from the lemon and citrus stuff, good luck everyone- 1. Moth balls for the garage;2. Hedge Apples for the outside trashcan area;3. oil of peppermint, bay leaves, cloves, mint tea bags, Eucalyptus oil and spearmint oil for the kitchen;4. Irish Spring soap to leave out in the bathrooms and to put and open bar under the bathroom cabinets (although I never had any signs of them there);5. Lemon floor cleaner, Citrus Carpet cleaner, ammonia for deep cleaning the house;6. Clorox tabs to put up on the storage shelves,7. Bobcat/Fox urine for the outside perimeter of the property and around the outside of the house.8. A rubber snake for every doorway inside and out (Really???)9 - apparently vanilla essence is a good cure also, just a drop in your pantry or under sink- I am going 2 Home Depot in the morning because they have these circular plug up things that let off a sound that rodents can not take. they will leave & never come back. I know because I worked in an infested daycare where there were more mice than children. They tried everything until these little devices & nothing worked. My children go there & they are going on 4yrs without even changing the battery!!. just incase . They are whitish circles that plug in the wall with a little light on them. -I went to Lowe's and bought the ultrasonic plug in things from B&D and put one in each room downstairs...about $13 for two and has a nightlight to boot. No more mouse droppings, also put one in the attic.- FRESH CAB!!! Google it. These little sachets of herbs or whatever it is are all natural and work very well! (100% guaranteed) Plus, they dont smell bad (they have a Christmasey kind of smell). Here in NYC they cost about $20 (pack of 4) in the hardware store.- it wasnt the sonic devices that did the job it was a good scattering of moth balls. My hubby just took a small handful at a time and sprinkled wherever we knew we had mouse issues (like under our dresser, behind our washer/dryer, under the bed in the guest room) and voila no more meeses!- A great tip that really works. place several cotton balls in jar. Add approx. 8 tablespoons of white vinegar, 2 bay leafs and then pour over 4-6 ounces of warm brewed tea over top. Allow contents to set for approx 20 min. in the covered jar. Then, remove cotton balls soaked squeezing out excess wetness. Then, place cotton balls where ever you have last seen the mice. The tea leaves along with other ingredients produce a life ending result with is safe for children and other pets.- I set up the traps in a square and put the baitdry dog food inside the squareI used the flat sticky boards and now I have been keeping them away with the peppermint oilget the 100 percent from gnc and soak cotton balls, stick them where ever you can. Re soak every 2 weeks. I thought I would never get rid of them and Im still amazed they are gone- Eliminate harborage around the exterior of the building and seal up any possible gaps where they can enter. - I did not have peppermint oil but I did have peppermint extract which I figured I would try. needless to say that worked and I have not seen any signs of mice in my home since I did it- Try the pepperment oil not the pepperment extract.I found it in the vitamin shop where they sell the stuff to make your own bath soaps and lotions.- Since then I was advised to clean, vacuum the kitchen after its each use: cooking, baking, making sure all the dishes are washed and cleaned since mice have got a strong sense of smell, so if you leave any soup in the pan overnight ( I did once and in the morning and the whole kitchen smelled of it)the mice on the floor were running here and there. Since becoming officially clean I havent seen them or at least during the day. Also, we take out rubbish every night after cooking and cleaning to make sure they dont come to our flat for a snack. - I used the plug-ins some years ago when I had a squirrel problem, it was called Critter Controller and it seemed to work.- Try the sonic things, the Victor brand is working for me. - Smart Mouse Trap - 1 per box. This Humane Mouse Trap is perfect for all animal lovers.- I didnt see any tips on using Bounce Sheets. I place them in the boat, camper and trailer. Its a pleasant smell and the mice hate it. Been doing this for years now. Becareful though, it they get wet they are a mess- Use Pine Sol to clean your h/w or tile floors-Try a stuff called Shake-a-WayIt is made from Fox & Coyote urineIt has stopped the mice in my summer homeYou need to refresh every few weeks..Buy off the internet- Posted by shahwin Pakistan ([email protected]) on Sat, Oct 12, 02 at 6:45I have read the different means of Getting rid of Mice. Here's the one that does it the organic way. Peel an Onion in four parts and place it 4" underground (Root side UP). The gases prouduced underground will driveaway the mice, insects incl. Ants. Contact me for further assistance you may need. - This is tried and true, no fooling. We haven't had a mouse in the house for 14 years now. The exterminator told us to buy some fine mesh screening, cut it up in strips, wrap it around a pencil and then shove it with the help of a butter knife into the breathing holes of the exterior brick. Make sure that the screening pokes out from the brick just a little bit. Remember, mice can climb, so do every breathing hole on your house. Since mice do everything by feel, the screening scratches their face and they don't like it so they leave. You can even buy a roll of 0000 fine wool (the kind that you use for sanding) and shove that into the breathing holes too.- Then a farmer told me that they sprayed their foundation with that liquid Lysol-Less than 2 hours after putting down some live catch traps I caught one and had it released. They are made by the company PiC and these came 2 in a pack for only $3 including tax. They are made by PiC and the number on the bottom of the box says "Stock # POMT " and they are called "Humane catch & release mouse traps" It's a yellow box about the size of a thick paperback book. - We killed rats by the thousands in the field using the "Pre-baiting Technique". Rats are suspicious but inquisitive. So, try a snap trap of suitable size. Fix it securely (Super Glue works well) to the floor along a baseboard. Bait it with something attractive but not messy. A piece of salted cod fish never failed me. Bacon worked for someone else. BUT do not set the trap. It may take some time (three nights) before the bait is taken. - Get a ruler or a paint stirrer. Put some peanut butter or nuts on the end of it. Balance it off the edge of your kitchen counter like a plank. Put a tall garbage can underneath it. The mouse will go for the bait and fall right in.

Bait- Peanut butter doesnt work, but they seem to love potato chips and sunflower seeds. -Well something that works in minutes is putting sardines on the mouse trap-If you're using snap traps, forget the peanut butter and bacon. Set the trap first, then scatter flour over the whole trap. I use a small doll sifter I got when a child. Mice positively cannot resist flourHumanely kill- I heard if you put it in a coffee can with tissues he will fall asleep as he runs out of oxygen, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. - A note of caution, many electronic devices sold for pest control are only sonic, not electro-magnetic. Sonic only devices are not very effective and we do not offer them. Even the electo-magnetic devices only create a magnetic field change up to two metres from the electric cabling in your home, so, if you have an old house without lots of power points and lights, then it is possible that an electo-magnetic pest repeller would not drive out the mice.

SETP UP TRAPS-I was deployed in Iraq and we had a contest to see who could catch the most mice in one day. The winning trap was a bucket filled 1/2 way with water, you would then take a string and run it through a can or bottle from one side of the bucket to the other. The can was then baited on one side with peanut butter. Once that is done make a ramp up to the top of the bucket (we used a peice of wood. The mouse will tight rope across the string to the can and it spins causing the mouse to fall in the water. The mouse is unable to jump out and eventually drowns. - You need to get a glass bottle, with a long neck, a wine bottle works well, spray the neck of the bottle with cooking spray/oil. In the top of the bottle stuff a piece of rag or paper towel with plenty of peanut butter on it. Lay the bottle on it's side on a bench top or on a shelf with the neck of the bottle over the edge and a piece of rag draped over the base of the bottle. On the floor beneath the neck of the bottle place a bucket half full of water. The mice will use the rag to climb up on the bottle to get to the peanut butter which is is at the end of the slippery oily neck of the bottle. As they walk along the neck they slip off and into the bucket below and hopefully have all drowned by the next morning when you find them. This has worked really well for us and one night we caught 32 mice in our shed. If you don't like the idea of the swimming, swimming, swimming until they drown you can use a deeper bucket and dispose of them quickly yourself. -Ive heard that you can take a trash can, fill it half full with water, lean a board against it with the tip of the board just against the mouth of the trash can, and mice will walk up the board and actually jump into the trash can to get a drink of water and drown.- Ly nc vo mt ci chu (ch khng y). Chn ly mt bp ng ch cn 1/2 ht, ri ly mt si dy thp xuyn qua chnh gia bp n c th xoay trn c, sau t ngang qua chu nc. chut c th b ln bp ng, bn hy t mt ci que lm cu. Khi n b ln chu n ng, bp ng s quay trn lm cho chut ri vo chu nc v cht.- Then I took a large ceramic flowerpot, filled it with about 3 inches of water, emptied a toilet paper tube, smeared PB on it, put a sting through it, taped the string to the edge of the pot and laid a broom on the floor to make a ramp to my tightrope of death.------------------ The way I find that works is as follows: Buy a wastepaper basket, the bigger the better. Remove the lid of the basket if any. Create a makeshift staircase to the top of the big that mice can climb. It doesnt have to be perfect: mice are pretty good climbers. Ive found that a combination of trade paperbacks and DVDs in their case work well, but anything comparable is find; the top of the stairs should be as level as possible with the top of the basket. Place a ruler on the top of the stairs. The ruler should be hanging over the basket. Heres the tricky part: it shouldnt me too loose or too secure. It should be able to briefly hold the mouses weight but not for too long. Place bait along the stairs in various locations and make sure that a bit of bait is on the far tip of the ruler, i.e. the part hanging over the basket. I find that cheese flavoured snacks work well; actually cheese puffs work better than real cheese. Eventually the mouse will learn that this is a source of food and make a go at the bait on the ruler. The goal is to get the mouse and ruler to fall into the basket. If the mouse triggers the trap without falling in. reset the ruler and bait but make it slightly more secure. Conversely if the mouse eats the bait at the far end of the ruler without falling in, move the ruler slightly closer to the edge and add more bait. If the mouse falls in. carry the wastepaper basket to a field and release it by a tree. The mouse will likely run up the tree Note that you will likely have more than one mouse, so expect to repeat step 6c. After the first few attempts, successful or otherwise, you will only need to bait the tip of the ruler because mice will remember that theres food there.---------------------------------------------One I remember though is this: Take a bucket and fill it with enough soapy water to submerge the critter you want to get. Stretch some paper across the top and secure with a rubberband. Cut an X in the center. Hang a piece of food over the X. The mouse (or whatever critter it is) will test the paper before it gets on to make sure it's solid. It will feel solid to him because it is pulled taut. But, as he nears the center, he'll slide through the X and (eventually) drown in the soapy water.

Not Work : - Hic, nh em c mt ci my ui chut ca Nht, nhng khng n thua u ch . Ch c v hn thi. My hm u th c v nhiu nhng sau y chut n quen hay sao y, vn n u, hic. M ch thy ngi mnh mt mi thi- I can tell you tho that my mice have walked all over the peppermint oil, eucalyptus branches, menthol sugar free cough drops, peppermint tea bags, rubber snakes, red pepper, Vicks vapor rub and D-con and Coke. They snub the glue traps with the sunflower seeds on them. Peanut butter in the wooden traps is still there. I havent given up yet tho- I did try the Irish Spring soap and they seem to be stepping all over it here so all the above things I have mentioned do not work for me.- The oil of Peppermint didnt do an ounce of good. - The peppermint oil sounds like a great idea, but I assure you it only works until the mice get used to it.- I got a 2 oz. bottle of peppermint essential oils from health food store for $20, which is pricey for us. I thought if it worked, though, it would be worth it. So I had several cotton balls soaked with straight peppermint oil, and the mice apparently thought I baked peppermint cookies for them because today there were several fresh droppings right by one of the cotton balls-I used the bay leaves and they do not work. The mice just moved it or ate it.- moth balls (this is funny when the mice find the moth balls in their way, they roll them into an open space, away from where they reside)- Peppermint oil made my entire apartment smell like a friggin giant candy cane and I couldnt eat anything without tasting mint for two weeks. Plus, it didnt really make them go away anyway.- We tried mothball and the electric sonic thing, we put it every where there is plug but does not work at all.-. Read where Bounce and mothballs worked. This spring when we opened the RV, we found mouse poop on the bounce in several places, and babies where the mothballs were.

Croaches and Ants:- I have a bay leaf tree/bush and I put the leaves in all my cabinets. Bay leaves are good for roaches and ants(the little black ants)

- One person on here mentioned Boric Acid Powder. Well, I used to live in TX and I guarantee that you will never see a cockroach if you use it. In every house Ive ever lived in, I sprinkled a line of it in the backs of kitchen and bathroom cabinets and behind fridges and stoves

- Not sure what pests you have but I've had luck with leaving cucumber skins (which just shrivel up and dry - no rotting) in ant-traffic areas.-saw those little Sunbeam plug-in units next to the indoor ant bait things... bought one, no more kitchen counter ants in one area - bought two more as they seemed such a deal at about the same price as the ant hotels - now there's three in the kitchen and not an ant to be seen in several months.

You dont understand the truth behind this course. The Canadian TV recently misunderstood him with Aguero (i.e Toronto TV wrote "Happy birthday Ronaldo " but they included with this message the picture of Aguero) . So after this embarrassment they opened this course so the Canadian could know who is Ronaldo.Beside studying Ronaldo , they should open investigation the why Ronaldo got Ballon 'dor in 2013. I think this case involved corruption. Consider Ronaldo scored 8 goals (including Sweden matches) + 1 assist in WC qualifier and Ribery got 5 goals + 5 assists . That meant Ribery contributed to 10 goals total while Ronaldo contributed to 9 goals total.

And Ribery won the pentuble with Bayern and contributed to 2 goals in the final CL match against Dortmund. (while Ronaldo got no title that year)

There is no way a player contributed more to both national team and club 's titles could lose to Ronaldo. It doesn't make any sense
