The Wonders of Vinegar!

Vinegar can be used for a lot of things. Vinegar is very useful actually and is an eco-friendly cleaner. Try these experiments and you will be amazed:

• Drains - Use 250 ml of vinegar once a week. Let it stand for 30 minutes and then flush it with cold water. This will deodorize your drain.
• Microwave ovens - Boil 60 ml of vinegar and 250 ml of water in a microwavable container. Let cool and then wipe the oven clean.

Vinegar was discovered over 10,000 year ago. Vinegar is a good cleaning fluid but it is also tasty on french fries!

Dangerous Fire Ants!

This is Nicholas reporting from South Carolina. I've discovered some new ants - they are called "fire ants". They can sting you and they can even be deadly!

How to prevent getting bitten by a fire ant:

1. Don't go near their nests. (Fire ant nests can be under bricks, logs or just a big hill that looks like a mound of sand up to 40 cm high.)
2. If you see a fire ant, don't touch it! They will bite you.
3. Don't let you pets near them.
