Fall is often considered the most beautiful of seasons, especially in places where the turning of the leaves plays out slowly. In the Northeast and parts of the Midwest, people even go on color tours. Autumn is also the end of the lifecycle for many plants and animals. For others, it marks the start of a dormant period – bears get set for hibernation and trees become threadbare as they lose their foliage.

Unfortunately, autumn is also known as the height of allergy season, when ragweed pollen and other natural irritants float freely through the air and into unsuspecting noses. Those same allergens can follow people indoors, and in a small, enclosed space they can wreak havoc on the respiratory system. By setting up a Honeywell air purifier in your home, you can drastically reduce the chances of allergic reaction due to pollen and other airborne allergens.

To many people, moths remain a rather mysterious insect. Most of a moth’s actions – its flight through the dark night air, spurred on by the light of the moon or a distant star; its mating habits, etc. – go largely unnoticed by humans. Only when the bug infringes on our lives do we pay it much heed. Light a candle in a dark room and any moths in the vicinity will be drawn perilously close to the flame. Often, they will catch fire and die.

In some cases, moths can create a nuisance – although they do it in an indirect way. Clothes moths are attracted to wool and other organic fabrics. To them, these articles of clothing present a chance to tuck in for a hearty meal. A few decades ago, many organic fabrics were treated with an insecticide. These days most people handle their organic insect control in another way – combining effective repellent with dependable traps.
