I think the mites Lucky is referring to are
bed bugs.

Powder is diatomaceous earth, in English Diatomaceous earth
can be purchased at home improvement stores.

I have also purchased
this seems to work for mites.
However, mite allergy causes allergy to dead mites, and
I am also allergic to pollen, so the powder made my cough and sneeze worse, so please be careful if you try it.

I have never hired a professional to clean my air conditioner, but I do clean the filter once a week.

I'm commenting because when my second son was little, he had a tick allergy that was just awful and very annoying, so I thought it might be helpful to combine it with my own experience.

When I was staying with a homestay family in CA, I was bitten by insects every night while I slept and it itched like crazy, but that was because the fleas that were parasitic on my pets were breeding in my bed.
By the way, the bite was small, red and swollen, and the itch and the mark did not disappear for several weeks.
I have also been bitten by padworms （ and bed bugs ） but these are much larger than flea bites and are quite red and swollen and very itchy after a plumping sting.
Neither of these stings ever went away, the itching disappearing in half a day.

In my second son's case, the ticks did not itch （ but rather seemed to react by entering his body through his mouth or nose with the dead bodies ） rather than stinging him, and he suffered from extreme sneezing and congestion.
I bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter and carefully vacuumed the bed and carpets daily. I also covered the mattress with a waterproof ＆ tick prevention cover. This alone seems to make a big difference.
We also changed the pillows to plastic ones like buckwheat hulls （ and the pillows seem to be quite important ）, and we washed and sunbathed stuffed toys and other items in the room that might harbor ticks once before packing them in plastic bags for storage.

As for the air conditioner filter, I think you can do it yourself if you just wash it lightly （ My husband does it once every few months ）, if you want deep cleaning, it might be safer to ask a contractor.
When our family just recently got an estimate, I remember being told that it would be about $100-$150 ？ per machine.

I don't think you can have Balsan sent from Japan.
Even when I tried to bring it in personally
it was confiscated at the airport.

I didn't know you could use diatomaceous earth for insect control ！

＞ ddmm808
Thanks for sharing your experience. It was very helpful. I have a new mattress with an anti-allergy cover and a tarp over it, and I will consider a Dyson vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter ！
Regarding the air conditioner, if you don't mind, could you please tell me which company you contacted ？ I contacted two of them. I have also contacted two companies, but they replied that they are not doing it now and I am having trouble.


＞ Mr. Black
I see that you were right ！ I was thinking of a balusan darn sheet or something like that, so I will check if this is ok.

The air conditioner cleaning company I contacted is a regular electrician （ who also installs air conditioners and apparently offers cleaning services along the way ）. However, I asked this company to repair my air conditioner and they were so sloppy that I will never ask them again. If you must know, I will let you know via direct message. I just did a quick internet search and found a review of a company called Standard Cleaning who cleaned my air conditioner. I've never used them, so I don't know what kind of company they are, but their reviews on Yelp seem to be very good.

My son is 50 years old, but he was born and raised here.

He has friends in the construction industry, and when we wanted to fix a part of our house,

he would bring someone from that industry to help us.

Also, once when we needed a painter, the house next door had a total exterior paint job done and

the workmanship was so-so that we asked them to do it for us too.

After all, we are afraid to ask a stranger, including Japanese-American relations, if we do not have some kind of reference.

> It's probably because they have the power to advertise on TV.

Not necessarily.
I hear that if they advertise, they charge more for the work they do, and they charge more even if the work is not done properly.

If the quality is good without advertisement like Chateraise, it will be advertised by word of mouth of customers. The price is reasonable because they don't have to pay for advertisement.

I hear that if you pay for advertising, you get a fee on top of that, and even if you do a reasonable job, you get a fee as well.

Whether or not the work is done properly, any advertising costs are ultimately borne by the customer. If it's a huge advertising fee, like putting it on TV, they're probably unknowingly burdened with hundreds or thousands of dollars in advertising fees for remodeling-type jobs with high unit costs. There are a few people like Showa-era ototsuan who don't understand anything and are deceived.

Thank you all. As Baikinman said, I have seen houses nearby that have been constructed and thought they were nice. There was a house in my neighborhood that had been completely renovated, outside and inside, almost everything except the frame.

Even in the middle of construction, until the curtains went in, you could somewhat see the inside from the outside （ and the entrance ＆ from the street side and the living room with kitchen was visible just by walking around normally. ）
Every time I walked past there （ I thought, "The construction company here might be polite. ） I thought to myself.　
Before → After was surprisingly different. （ Including the exterior ）

However, it was a private contractor, or they spent a lot of time.　
It seemed to be a freshly purchased renovation or had a separate residence, so I am sure the long term would not have been a problem.

I sometimes wondered if it would be easy to visit the house and inquire about the construction company if the need arose.
I thought it would be very rude and did not take action.　　I probably won't do it in the future.　

I wish my neighbors would do it ＝.　） I am hoping that the neighbors who have been in contact with us will be able to do it .

According to the City of Honolulu's information,
you must first take a provisional （ paper test ） which will allow you to drive conditionally.
It appears that you can then bring your moped to the Pearl City license center for the test.
So you don't have to push it and take it with you.

There is also an exemption from the practical test.

Moped 50CC and under, or Class 1, doesn't require a license. However, under 50CC, I think you had to take a practical training course.

https://hawaiimoped.com/hawaii-moped-laws/

Is it under 50CC ？ or over 50CC ？ It depends on that.

According to the following, 50cc and under is Class A and does not require a motor cycle license, but does require a driver's license.
https://www.scooterrentalhawaii.com/hawaiian-moped-laws/#:~:text=Class%20A%20Mopeds,need%20a%20valid%20driver's%20license.
Also, #4 quoted that you need a Class 1 license if you just want to get on moped.
If you don't have a license and desire only to drive a moped, a Class 1 license will meet your need.

Overall, to drive a moped only requires a car I think it means that you don't need to get a car license or a motorcycle license to drive a moped, but you do need a Class 1 license.

Mitsui, Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, Meiko, Black Cat, Nittsu,
I believe they are all Bonded Warehouse, so when you get out of the trunk of your car
I would check, call and ask
if you don't believe me.
I think you can buy them cheap here and sell them for more here ？
My mother got the same amount from a second generation guy who used to work for Kleenex, an American company, and he would split the money with her.
Now the paper is so thin that one sniff is not enough. LOL.

This is a case of taking stored goods out of the company's warehouse without permission and reselling them
.
Nowadays, as in the past, there is no such thing.
Employees check the trunk of their cars every day when they leave.
Lunch is also checked 100% of the time when leaving the parking lot. I worked in a logistics
warehouse. I worked in a warehouse in a logistics company, and we had to deal with all sorts of things: SONY, TORAY, Morinaga snacks, Otafuku
and if we were found out, we would be fired.

I am preparing to return home.
I am doing my best with private sales, but can I ask a moving company
to take care of my large household goods ？
for a fee ？ free? Which is it ？
I don't want to get into trouble by asking them, so which moving company do you recommend
that is reliable ？?

I live in Hawaii and am involved with the Hawaiian community. Considering the fact that the US is taking over this beautiful island from the natives, over tourists are polluting the environment, etc., I feel that I should be allowed to enjoy this beautiful island and spend my money in a respectful manner to the Hawaiians and be tolerant 😊.

I need to inflate my car tires more often.

This still leaves several places in Kalakaua and Kapiolani that have been repaired from large holes. Is someone reporting this somewhere?　It would be nice if the government would notice and act quickly.

I have heard from people who have lived in Hawaii for a long time that the land is weak
because there is a lot of reclaimed land in Hawaii.
Also, the material used for paving ！ ？ is different between
Kahala and other areas.
