Excuse me for entering sideways.
I live in the same area as Koji.
Smart TV.

You can watch
KIKU without paying Spectrum for TV ？ ！
I only pay Spectrum for modem and wifi every month.

Is the indoor antenna ok for a condo ？

I would be very happy if you could tell me what brand and where you bought it.
Please let me know.

I enjoy Japanese movies and dramas on Amazon Prime.
There is not a wide variety, but there are Amazon originals
so it is fresh. I also enjoy original American movies.
I get an extra 10% off sale items at Whole Foods, and
Prime offers free shipping for online shopping, so
I pay my annual membership fee once a year.
It is more economical than paying monthly membership fees.
I hope this helps.

Maki, miki,

KIKU's transmitting base station is on the west side of the island, on top of the mountain in Kapolei.
So near the town, the receiving antenna is basically facing west.

My antenna is about 10 years old and made by Amazon.
The point is that it is a USB powered type to enhance the signal.
This increases the possibility of picking up a weak signal.

I live on the third floor of an apartment building with a window facing west and no tall buildings in the direction of the antenna.


One idea is to try various indoor spots with a low-cost indoor antenna （ $ 20 ） like the above.

Thank you. Amazon Prime looks good too. Even if there is an annual fee, it won't be a loss if I can enjoy a lot.

My indoor antenna is not designed to be turned on, so I thought it was weak to get signals from outside, but
I just changed the position of the antenna to right next to the window and scanned the channels again, and now I have more channels and can watch NHK news NHK news is available.
A little progress and a little hope. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the guidance ！

It would be a great deal if I could watch Amazon's $20 antenna all the time.

I regret the past of paying monthly for Spectrum.

Excuse me.
The scary part of this story is that you went in to clean the room for work
and brought back bedbugs from there.
That means that the bedbugs are in many places from this room.
That's scary.

I wonder if your work company covered the cost of the treatment ？
I was actually thinking about
cleaning work as a second job ？ toward the end of the year.
Are you still working, Mr. Vampire Insect ？?

I think Hawaii is a good place for bed bugs to occur.
Not only because of the year-round warm weather, but also because we have visitors from all over the world,
so it is easy to imagine that it can propagate through their behavior.
You mentioned an older room this time, but it is possible to get
bed bugs regardless of how new or well cared for the room is.
Sometimes the news says it happens in movie theaters, etc.
Once you are affected, you don't feel like a stranger anymore.

To prevent bed bugs, when traveling, once you enter your room, put your luggage in the bathtub
and check around the bed （ under the mattress and headboard ） and open your luggage if it looks safe.
When you go to clean the room, you should also check in this way first, and
if there are bed bugs, you should immediately contact the owner, and the employer should be notified that the room is contaminated with bed bugs, and therefore cannot be cleaned.

Vampire Insect,

Even if you hire a contractor, I believe you will be instructed to wrap the mattress in a bed bug cover.
First, why not buy a mattress cover or base cover from Walmart or Home Depot?

The vendor told us that if the bed is directly on the floor, we should pull a carpet under the bed that has about 20-30 cm more room than the bed, and
sprinkle diatomaceous earth powder on top of it. If bedbugs come in contact with the diatomaceous earth powder when they crawl on it, they will die of dehydration.
The contractor used their own diatomaceous earth powder, which is probably of better quality, but HomeDepot and others also sell diatomaceous earth powder for bed bugs.

I think it was about a week from discovery until the contractor came
I wrapped double-sided tape around the sides of the mattress to catch the bed bugs that were crawling up. I think it reduces the number that come up to the bed.

Some people on the internet are trying to get rid of them themselves.
If the breeding is still in the early stages and the damage is minor, you may be able to handle it yourself.

Poor Busybody,

I haven't told my employer, so I'm not getting any money for treatment
because I can't prove that the bed bug got on my clothes at work.
I still belong to the company I work for.


Thank you, Koji,
for teaching me so much.
I immediately bought cedar oil spray.
I'll wait and see about hiring a contractor, it costs quite a bit of money.



I've been watching a lot of videos on Youtube about killing bed bugs ！
one bug lays 5 eggs every day and they keep growing.
I'm scared.
