Fleas A Common Resident In Every House
They are one of the greatest bloodsucking parasites which can cause lot of damage. These different types of fleas live by sucking blood from mammals and birds. Some of the very common fleas are the cat flea, dog flea, human flea, northern rat flea and oriental rat flea. You may suffer from an allergic reaction and may also get transmitted with severe diseases due to these fleas. Because of the warm, humid and readily available environment in your home, these fleas easily survive without much hindrance.
They procreate in huge numbers which makes them next to - indestructible. Many a times these fleas just become a nuisance other than anything else. Their small fish like structure goes unnoticed which makes it difficult to detect. Presence of pets in your house is another reason for fleas to attack humans. Having a spick and span environment keeps them off from your mattresses. The growth rate is so high that it becomes next to impossible to end the reign of terror. Some of the common affects fleabites have on us is loss of hair, severe allergic reaction - rashes, itchy skin and severe diseases.

Fitted on the balcony perfectly - looks neat and comfortable. Pack away really nicely but could do with a cover

On the whole pleased with the sofa set. But it states that it is a 4 seater set - the ‘foot stool’ is not really strong enough for an adult to sit on. The service was excellent

I absolutely LOVE these. Target is selling them for 80. They are a bit confusing to hang box doesn’t come with any instruction... I used a small drill bit to drill the hole then tapped the plastic anchors into the wall screwed the stylish brass screws into the anchors by hand. The screws don’t have any notches to use a screwdriver or drill on.

This was really difficult to put together, but once we finally figured it out (after three hours) is it beautiful and sturdy.

Bench itself is ok, delivery was chaotic, missed original day, then failed redelivery, then lost in warehouse, when finally arrived had slight damage . Could not be bothered with return and reorder, so rubbed it down where wood was broken off on front of seat and stained it. It’s ok

Great chairs! Much less expensive than on Serena and lily and I can’t tell the difference.

Unfortunately the product was faulty on arrival, the grey laminate was blown/bobbled on 4 out of the 6 shelf sections, this also caused them to be darker than the rest of the laminate surrounding it. Can't really comment on the finished article as it's tainted but www.boisecloggers.com customer service was very good and made resolving the issue very simple.

Swing is a bit small. Not very sturdy or elegant /but does the job. Color a bit drab. It’s what i expected for the price and reviews though.

Great space saving greenhouse for a budget. With covid 19 and the children being home schooled this was just the ticket to do some work in the garden.

I'm pleased with our chairs - did a good search online and these are definitely good value for the better quality type 'Adirondack' chairs. The colour is great (we chose teal) and the wide flat arms are good for holding your drink/book/phone. They're lighter than I expected (easily moved around) but as they're hardwood not treated softwood I guess that's OK. Also the seat is very low to the ground (may not suit everyone) but the main thing is very comfortable to sit in - much more so that I expected. I probably wouldn't leave them out in an exposed location through winter. Overall, for the price, I'd say good value.

Really comfy bench. Looks great. Is a bit more orange in colour than the picture and one slat is slightly warped hence 4 stars

Love my swing. Directions were a pain bc none of the parts are labeled to match the directions so it was hard to tell which leg was which. I had to take it apart on step 5 bc I had put it together wrong and used the wrong screws twice. However all of that was worth it in the end bc it was exactly what I wanted. Goes together well and seems to be well made. I hope to get many years use out of it. It is a little on the smaller side but definitely comfortable for 2 people.

Below is my original review before I realised that the item sent to me isn't exactly the one described on the website - www.boisecloggers.com are selling something that is not as described, which is in breach of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. I've emailed www.boisecloggers.com a number of times explaining in detail the differences between the two items and they respond like they haven't read the emails. Basically, be aware that the shape of the item is slightly different for the walnut and oak than shown in the pics - it is the shape as shown in grey option. The weight capacity they have listed on website as 110kg, is actually on the supplied instructions as 100kg - which is a difference of 1.5st (but neither of these options are particularly great for what also claims to be a 2 seater). The pdf instructions on the website are also different and state that there's an included wall strap to prevent from toppling, but this isn't the case in the item being sent. As mentioned in my original review, the finish is worse than the photos and the walnut colour is also a darker brown - but then it is a different item to the one shown so I guess that's the reason - although www.boisecloggers.com don't want to admit it is a different item. "Disappointing with how cheap this looks, was aware it was laminated chipboard but it looks worse than in pictures online. Ordered walnut colour but it's more a warmer, chocolate brown than shown online - the pictures look lighter (yes I'm comparing the walnut pictures, not the other colours) and may have matched with our floor a bit better. Every edge where two strips of laminate meet there is a line of a lighter colour, so on a dark brown unit there's all these light lines highlighting every edge - not a look i find appealing either. Also in a few places the edge of the laminate was quite jagged and rough looking, and in some places there was clearly a chip that had been filled in during the manufacturing process with some brown filler, but luckily they occurred on sides we could hide. The whole unit was fairly straightforward to put together with every part fitting together well enough - but not perfectly; however, the instruction's pages were printed in an odd order, so check the page numbers as you go. Once constructed it seems sturdy enough, but the instructions say it should only support 100kg in weight (just over 15 stone), but due to its width it looks like it could fit 2 people, so it's a bit feeble it can barely hold one large adult - going to have to potentially insult guests when they go to use it and you're only allowing certain people on it. The cushion is also quite disappointing, but other reviews had mentioned that, so I was prepared; it is wipe clean though."
