TurnKey Grass Releases Bermuda Grass Dormancy Guide for Louisiana Homeowners Ahead of Spring Green-Up Season

NEW ORLEANS, LA - July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
TurnKey Grass, a sod installation and lawn care company serving southeastern Louisiana, has released a comprehensive guide addressing Bermuda grass dormancy in Louisiana winters, a topic that generates widespread concern among homeowners who watch their lawns turn straw-colored each December and struggle to determine whether the grass is resting or dead.
The publication, titled "Does Bermuda Grass Go Dormant in Louisiana Winters?", explains the seasonal biology of Bermuda grass in the Gulf Coast climate and provides practical guidance on winter lawn care, spring green-up preparation, and weed management during dormancy. It is the latest in a series of educational resources the company has produced for Louisiana homeowners managing warm-season turf across the greater New Orleans area and surrounding parishes.
"Every winter, we hear from homeowners who are convinced their lawn is dying," said a representative of TurnKey Grass. "Bermuda grass dormancy is normal and expected in Louisiana. The grass turns brown on the surface, but the crowns, rhizomes, and stolons stay alive underground and are ready to regrow when temperatures climb. Understanding this cycle helps homeowners avoid unnecessary fertilizer applications, overwinter weed problems, and costly re-sodding that simply is not needed."
The guide outlines the typical dormancy timeline for Louisiana, noting that most Bermuda lawns enter full dormancy after the first hard frost in late November or early December, remain dormant through February, and begin showing green growth again by mid-March in the greater New Orleans area. South Louisiana coastal properties tend to see green-up approximately one to two weeks earlier than north Louisiana, while a late freeze can delay the process by a similar margin. The full active growing season typically resumes by April.
The resource also includes a practical diagnostic method for distinguishing dormant Bermuda from dead grass. Homeowners are instructed to pull back surface blades and examine crown firmness and runner condition at the base of the turf. Dormant Bermuda retains firm, whitish-tan crowns and flexible runners, while dead grass exhibits brown, brittle crowns that crumble under pressure. A scratch test on a runner to reveal green, moist tissue underneath serves as an additional confirmation step.
Weed management receives dedicated coverage in the guide. Common Louisiana winter weeds identified include annual bluegrass, henbit, chickweed, and wild onion. A fall pre-emergent application in late September is recommended to prevent germination, and the guide advises that carefully timed low-rate glyphosate applications on fully dormant Bermuda can address escaped weeds without damaging the lawn. Spring green-up techniques are also covered, including scalp mowing to remove brown blades and allow sunlight to reach crowns, along with timing guidance for the season's first fertilizer application.
The guide also addresses cold hardiness for Bermuda grass varieties suited to Louisiana, noting that newer hybrid varieties such as Latitude 36 tolerate temperatures as low as approximately 10 degrees Fahrenheit without significant crown damage when properly hardened before the first freeze. Older hybrid varieties are more vulnerable to extended hard freezes, particularly when soil moisture is low heading into winter. The company recommends a final potassium-rich fertilizer application in early to mid-September to harden the turf and improve its tolerance of cooler temperatures through the dormant period.
TurnKey Grass serves residential and commercial clients throughout New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harahan, River Ridge, Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Slidell, Hammond, LaPlace, and Baton Rouge. The company installs Bermuda grass, Centipede grass, St. Augustine grass, and Zoysia grass, and provides seasonal lawn management consultations throughout southeastern Louisiana.


The dormancy guide is available at turnkeygrass.com. Homeowners seeking a free consultation on Bermuda grass installation or seasonal lawn care may contact TurnKey Grass at (504) 608-1540.

Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center Now Offers Aveli Cellulite Treatment in Mansfield, Texas

Mansfield, Texas - July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center, a cosmetic surgery center in Mansfield, Texas, now offers Aveli, a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared procedure for the long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs. The practice is led by Dr. Michael L. Thornton, a double board-certified cosmetic surgeon and Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, who personally performs the Aveli procedure. The treatment, detailed on his website's Aveli cellulite treatment page, addresses the structural cause of cellulite beneath the skin rather than its surface appearance.
Aveli is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thigh areas of adult women, and patients from Mansfield, Arlington, and Fort Worth, and the surrounding DFW Metroplex now have access to the procedure. Cellulite develops when fibrous connective bands beneath the skin, known as septa, tether the skin downward and create visible dimples, a process that affects women across body types regardless of weight or fitness level. Surface treatments such as creams and massage do not reach the septa that create the dimples, which is one reason deep structural approaches have become the main focus in cellulite reduction. The Aveli procedure uses a handheld device that identifies these septa with an illuminated guidance system, releases the targeted bands, and provides real-time confirmation that each band has been released before the provider moves to the next dimple.
The device received initial FDA clearance in 2021, with extended clearance in 2022 for long-term cellulite reduction. A multicenter pivotal study published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal by Stevens and colleagues in 2022 reported sustained results at twelve months following a single treatment, and Aveli was named "Best Minimally Invasive Cellulite Treatment" by NewBeauty. At Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center, Aveli is offered alongside the practice's body contouring procedures, including liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), Mommy Makeover, and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which are available to patients throughout Arlington, Midlothian, and Dallas.
Aveli is indicated for adult women seeking reduction in the appearance of cellulite dimples on the buttocks and thighs, and the treatment is intended to address the septa that cause dimpling rather than to remove fat or tighten skin. During a consultation, Dr. Thornton reviews each patient's medical history and examines the treatment areas to determine whether the procedure is appropriate. Because Aveli is performed under local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia, patients avoid the recovery associated with surgical body contouring. The most commonly reported effects following treatment are mild soreness within the first day, bruising, and tenderness in the treated areas, and patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity and prolonged pressure on those areas during initial healing. Individual results vary, and for patients also considering liposuction, a Brazilian Butt Lift, or a Mommy Makeover, Dr. Thornton can discuss whether Aveli fits into a broader body contouring plan.
"Aveli addresses the structural cause of cellulite rather than its surface," said Dr. Michael L Thornton, a double board-certified cosmetic surgeon with over 20 years of surgical experience at Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center. "The fibrous septa that create the dimples are released under direct visualization, and the device confirms each release before moving to the next area, which is what allows the procedure to be performed with that level of precision." Dr. Thornton completed a dedicated 12-month fellowship in cosmetic surgery accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and he has performed body contouring and revision cosmetic surgery at his Mansfield practice since founding it in 2008.
Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center is located at 550 N Walnut Creek Drive, Suite 120, in Mansfield, Texas, and can be reached at (817) 477-9000. The practice serves patients seeking Aveli and other body contouring procedures from Arlington, Fort Worth, Dallas, Grand Prairie, Midlothian, and Waxahachie, and driving directions are available through Google Maps. Aveli is performed in the office under local anesthesia, while procedures requiring general anesthesia are performed at Baylor Scott & White Surgicare at Mansfield, a Joint Commission (JCAHO) accredited and AAAHC certified outpatient surgical center located a few miles from the office.


Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center offers Aveli cellulite treatment in Mansfield, Texas, as part of its body contouring services for patients across North Texas. Additional information about Aveli and the practice's cosmetic surgery procedures is available at mansfieldcosmeticsurgery.com, and the practice maintains a Google Business Profile listing its location, hours, and contact details. The practice continues to offer physician-performed cosmetic surgery and aesthetic procedures at its Mansfield, Texas office.

All Pro Thornton Deck Builders Expands to Commerce City

THORNTON, CO - July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
All Pro Thornton Deck Builders has extended its residential deck design and construction services to homeowners in Commerce City, Colorado, broadening coverage beyond the company's established base in the northern Denver metropolitan area. The added coverage is now in effect and applies to new deck construction, deck replacement, and related outdoor living projects throughout the Commerce City area. The company has cited rising local interest in backyard renovation as the basis for the broadened coverage.
The expanded service set covers custom deck design, structural framing, railing installation, stair construction, and the repair and restoration of existing decks, including multi-level layouts. Each design accounts for load requirements, drainage, and the orientation of the home relative to sun and prevailing weather. Projects can be built with pressure-treated wood, capped composite boards, or uncapped composite boards, depending on the specifications selected for each site. Permit coordination with local authorities and compliance with current building codes are handled as part of every project.
Work in the newly covered area follows the sequence the company applies across its service region, beginning with an on-site consultation and measurement, followed by design, material selection, and construction. The consultation covers site grading, access, existing structures, and homeowner priorities for size, height, and intended use. Crews schedule construction in stages so that framing, decking, and railing each pass inspection where required before the next phase begins. Completion timelines vary with project scope, permitting, and seasonal weather, which can compress the building calendar in Colorado during colder months.
The expansion aligns with sustained homeowner investment in outdoor living space across the United States. Industry data indicated that 17.6 percent of newly built single-family homes included a deck in 2023, with an average new-deck size of roughly 309 square feet. Separate market analysis placed United States home remodeling spending near 485 billion dollars in 2025, with an estimated 12 percent of that activity directed toward outdoor projects. Analysts have attributed the resilience of remodeling in part to homeowners electing to upgrade existing properties rather than relocate, a pattern that tends to favor exterior additions such as decks and porches.
"The expansion responds to steady demand from Commerce City homeowners for functional outdoor living space," said David Miller, owner of All Pro Thornton Deck Builders. "Locating deck design and construction within the community supports closer attention to local permitting requirements and site conditions, and it shortens the distance between the crew and the project."
Material preferences in the decking sector have shifted over the past decade, with composite products overtaking treated wood by volume in several United States Census divisions as homeowners weigh maintenance and longevity against upfront cost. Manufacturers have also introduced fire-rated decking lines in response to wildfire-related building standards in some western states. Front porches and ground-level platforms have drawn renewed attention as homeowners look to expand usable exterior space, and both wood and composite options remain available for local projects so that specifications can be matched to budget and upkeep preferences.
Colorado has drawn broader building-products activity tied to outdoor construction, including a November 2025 transaction in which a national distributor expanded its footprint in Colorado and Texas by acquiring a regional supplier of decking and architectural materials. Against that backdrop, the company has framed the Commerce City expansion as a response to local project inquiries rather than a change in its core operations. The Thornton-based firm continues to serve its existing coverage area alongside the newly added Commerce City service.
Homeowners in Commerce City and the surrounding communities can learn more about the available deck services and the boundaries of the expanded coverage. Inquiries from the area are being scheduled alongside existing projects, and the company has indicated that capacity for the expanded territory will be reviewed as demand develops.

K L Contractor Plumbing Inc Releases New Guide on Common Plumbing Problems in Acworth, GA Homes

MARIETTA, GA - July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
K L Contractor Plumbing Inc has announced the publication of a new educational resource titled "Common Plumbing Problems in Acworth, GA Homes," which explains common plumbing issues affecting homes in Acworth and the factors that can contribute to them. The guide is now available on the company's website and was created to help homeowners better understand how the age, location, and construction of a home can influence plumbing performance over time.
The newly released resource explains that Acworth includes a mix of older neighborhoods, newer residential developments, and homes located near Lake Acworth and Lake Allatoona. According to the guide, these differences can lead to a range of plumbing concerns, including aging water supply pipes, sewer line problems, water heater issues, and fixture wear that vary from one property to another.

"Many homeowners experience plumbing problems without realizing that the age and location of their home can play a major role," said Alex Laldin, Marketing Director for K L Contractor Plumbing Inc. "This resource was published to explain why these issues develop and to help property owners understand when routine maintenance or a professional inspection may be appropriate."
According to the information released by the company, many homes built during the 1980s and 1990s may still contain plumbing materials that are approaching the end of their expected service life. The guide explains that galvanized water supply pipes can gradually corrode from the inside, reducing water pressure and eventually affecting water quality. It also notes that older sewer laterals can become vulnerable to tree root intrusion as mature landscaping continues to grow over several decades.
The published guidance also discusses conditions that may affect homes located near lakes or in areas with higher groundwater levels. The resource explains that elevated moisture conditions can place additional stress on underground plumbing systems and may increase the need for regular inspections when drainage or sewer concerns develop. It notes that these conditions can differ significantly from those found in neighborhoods located farther from the lakes.
In addition to older homes, the guide addresses plumbing issues that can develop in newer subdivisions. According to the company, builder-grade plumbing fixtures and water heaters may eventually require repair or replacement as they age through normal use. The resource explains that while newer homes often avoid some infrastructure concerns found in older properties, plumbing components still wear over time and benefit from routine maintenance.
The educational resource also identifies several plumbing issues that can affect homes regardless of their age. Running toilets, worn fixture parts, clogged drains, and water heater sediment buildup are discussed as common household problems that may increase water use or reduce plumbing system performance if left unaddressed. The guide encourages homeowners to monitor changes in water pressure, water discoloration, unusual noises, and recurring drain problems because these signs may indicate larger plumbing concerns.
Another section of the resource explains the difference between plumbing tasks that homeowners can often handle themselves and situations that typically require licensed plumbing work. Simple fixture adjustments and replacing basic toilet components may be manageable for some homeowners. However, work involving water supply lines, sewer repairs, water heaters, gas lines, or permits should generally be performed by qualified professionals. The guide notes that addressing plumbing problems early may help reduce the likelihood of more extensive repairs later.
The company also explains that sewer camera inspections can provide additional information when underground sewer line problems are suspected, particularly in neighborhoods where older piping materials remain in service. The resource states that identifying issues before they become emergencies can help homeowners make informed decisions about future repairs and maintenance.
The published guidance is part of K L Contractor Plumbing Inc's ongoing effort to provide educational information about residential plumbing systems and common maintenance topics. The company regularly publishes articles that explain plumbing conditions found in different communities throughout the metro Atlanta area and offers practical information to help property owners better understand their plumbing systems.
K L Contractor Plumbing Inc provides residential and commercial plumbing services throughout the metro Atlanta area. The company also publishes educational resources covering common plumbing topics, maintenance information, and plumbing conditions that affect homes in different communities.

Pool Troopers Highlights Seasonal Pool Maintenance Considerations Through Its West Palm Beach Location

July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Residential pool maintenance remains an ongoing consideration for homeowners across South Florida as warm temperatures and year-round pool use continue to influence routine care. Pool Troopers is highlighting its West Palm Beach location while providing information about the seasonal factors that affect residential pools throughout the region.
South Florida's climate presents maintenance conditions that differ from many other parts of the country. Extended periods of warm weather, frequent rainfall, humidity, and regular pool use can all influence water quality, equipment performance, and the amount of routine maintenance required throughout the year. Because these environmental conditions change with the seasons, maintenance schedules often reflect weather patterns as well as normal pool use.
The West Palm Beach location serves homeowners throughout the surrounding communities by providing residential pool maintenance services that include water testing, chemical balancing, debris removal, equipment inspections, and routine pool cleaning. These maintenance activities address the changing environmental conditions that pools experience throughout the year.
Unlike regions where pools may remain closed during colder months, South Florida homeowners often continue using their pools across multiple seasons. This extended period of operation means that pumps, filtration systems, and other equipment remain in regular use while weather conditions continue to influence water chemistry and maintenance needs.
According to Dennis Ely, seasonal changes throughout the year can affect residential pools in different ways, making routine observation an important part of ongoing maintenance.
"Pool conditions can change as weather patterns shift throughout the year," Ely said. "Regular maintenance provides an opportunity to monitor water quality, remove debris, and observe equipment as environmental conditions change."
Rainfall represents one of the more noticeable environmental factors affecting residential pools in the West Palm Beach area. Heavy rain may dilute sanitizing chemicals while introducing leaves, dirt, and other organic material into the water. Seasonal pollen, wind, and landscaping surrounding individual properties can also contribute to changing maintenance requirements.
Routine maintenance commonly includes skimming surface debris, brushing pool walls, vacuuming, monitoring water chemistry, and inspecting visible equipment components. These activities help address normal conditions that develop as pools remain in regular use throughout the year.
Environmental conditions can vary from one property to another. Pools located beneath mature trees may collect more leaves and organic debris, while pools receiving extended sunlight may experience different water chemistry changes than those located in more shaded environments. Frequency of use, weather patterns, and surrounding landscaping all contribute to the maintenance needs of individual pools.
Equipment inspections are also performed as part of routine residential pool maintenance. Pumps, filters, timers, and circulation systems experience normal wear during regular operation, and visual observations made during scheduled maintenance visits can help identify changes that may require additional attention.
"Every residential pool is influenced by its surroundings," Ely said. "Weather, landscaping, and regular use all contribute to changing maintenance conditions over time."
West Palm Beach's coastal environment also presents conditions that may influence pool care throughout the year. Wind, humidity, seasonal storms, and changing temperatures can all affect water clarity and routine maintenance activities. These factors reinforce the importance of adjusting maintenance practices to reflect current environmental conditions rather than relying on a single approach year-round.
Routine residential pool maintenance includes several interconnected activities, including water testing, chemical balancing, cleaning, and equipment observation. Together, these services address the environmental conditions that influence residential pools across South Florida throughout the year.


By highlighting its West Palm Beach location, Pool Troopers is providing information about residential pool maintenance within the context of South Florida's climate and the seasonal factors that affect pool ownership. The company continues to provide residential pool maintenance services throughout the West Palm Beach area while emphasizing the ongoing maintenance considerations associated with year-round pool ownership.

Invisalign Clear Aligners Kidbrooke Teeth Straightening Dentist Providing Consultations for Discreet Smile Alignment at Kidbrooke Village Dentist (Smile 4 U)

London, England - July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Kidbrooke Village Dentist (Smile 4 U) has announced the availability of consultation appointments for patients interested in Invisalign clear aligners as a discreet teeth straightening option. The practice reports continued interest from adults seeking orthodontic treatment that fits comfortably around professional and personal commitments while offering an alternative to conventional fixed braces. The consultations are intended to help patients understand whether Invisalign treatment is suitable for their individual orthodontic needs and smile goals.
According to the practice, misaligned teeth can affect more than appearance alone. Crowding, spacing and certain bite concerns may make oral hygiene more challenging while also influencing confidence when smiling or speaking. Through detailed consultations, the dental team aims to assess each patient's oral health, discuss treatment objectives and recommend an appropriate teeth straightening approach based on individual clinical findings.

The practice explains that Invisalign clear aligners use a series of transparent, custom-made aligners that gradually guide teeth into improved positions over time. Each aligner is worn for a prescribed period before progressing to the next in the sequence, allowing controlled tooth movement without the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces. Because the aligners are removable, patients can continue eating their normal diet while maintaining their usual brushing and flossing routines throughout treatment.
Consultation appointments generally include a comprehensive examination of the teeth, gums and bite, together with a review of dental and medical history. Patients also receive information about the expected treatment process, likely timescales, aligner wear requirements, retention after treatment and the importance of regular review appointments. Where appropriate, alternative orthodontic treatments may also be discussed to ensure recommendations reflect each patient's specific circumstances.
Professional insights regarding Invisalign clear aligners in Kidbrooke and how they can discreetly straighten teeth can be found at: https://smile4u.co.uk/dentist-kidbrooke-london/teeth-straightening/invisalign-invisible-braces/.
The practice notes that Invisalign treatment is suitable for many common orthodontic concerns, although every case requires careful assessment before treatment begins. Digital treatment planning enables anticipated tooth movement to be mapped in advance, allowing patients to gain a clearer understanding of the expected progression and anticipated outcome. Recommendations are always tailored according to clinical findings, ensuring that treatment decisions support both smile aesthetics and long-term oral health. Evidence published in BMC Oral Health also supports the effectiveness of clear aligner treatment. A 2019 study conducted in Beijing, China by Ke Y, Zhu Y and Zhu M found that both clear aligners and conventional fixed braces can successfully straighten teeth and correct bite problems. The researchers also reported that clear aligners may provide advantages such as more targeted tooth movement and, in some cases, shorter treatment times, while emphasising that the most appropriate orthodontic option should always be selected according to each patient's individual clinical needs.
Alongside Invisalign clear aligners, Kidbrooke Village Dentist (Smile 4 U) provides a comprehensive selection of teeth straightening treatments for patients with varying orthodontic requirements. These include fixed braces and other orthodontic options that may be recommended where different approaches are considered more appropriate. By offering several treatment choices, the practice is able to develop personalised treatment plans that reflect each patient's needs, lifestyle and treatment objectives.
The consultations are designed to provide patients with clear, practical information before treatment begins. Discussions commonly include expected treatment duration, oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment, retention following tooth movement and realistic expectations regarding the final result. Patients are encouraged to ask questions throughout the consultation so they can make informed decisions with confidence.
The broader range of teeth straightening treatments available at the practice can be found at: https://smile4u.co.uk/dentist-kidbrooke-london/teeth-straightening/.
The practice explains that successful orthodontic treatment relies upon careful planning together with consistent patient participation. Wearing aligners as instructed, maintaining good oral hygiene and attending scheduled review appointments all contribute to achieving predictable outcomes and supporting long-term stability after treatment has been completed.
Kidbrooke Village Dentist (Smile 4 U) provides comprehensive dental care for patients across Kidbrooke and the surrounding areas. Alongside orthodontic treatments, the practice offers preventive, restorative and cosmetic dentistry tailored to patients of different ages. The dental team places emphasis on personalised care, detailed treatment planning and open communication, ensuring that every patient receives recommendations based on individual clinical needs and personal expectations.

As AI Search Echoes Reviews, Reputation Work Gains Urgency

July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
As more people open an AI assistant instead of a search box, the reviews and articles those tools summarize are taking on a longer life. The Reputation.org, a national brand and crisis reputation firm operated by Aurawave Inc., says the shift raises the stakes for online reputation management, because content an AI model has absorbed can keep surfacing in answers even after the original page is edited or taken down.

Search engines once let older material fade over time. AI systems work differently. They read what is published, summarize it, and repeat the gist to anyone who asks about a brand or a person. When a negative review or a dated news story is part of that mix, it can shape the answer a customer, employer, or investor receives, often without a clear link back to the source.

The firm argues that timing is the part most businesses underestimate. The window to address damaging content is widest before it is repeated across multiple AI answers and secondary pages. Its AI answer cleanup work focuses on removing or correcting the underlying sources so the models have less to draw from, then watching how the answers shift.

"Once something is in the AI, it does not simply fade the way a search result used to. That is why speed matters. The sooner the source is handled, the less an answer has to repeat," said Joshua Albanese, spokesperson for The Reputation.org and owner of Spearleaf.com, a marketing agency.
Removal is only half of the approach. Once a damaging source is addressed, the firm's reputation management work, detailed at thereputation.org/reputation-management, concentrates on shaping what people and AI engines find next, so the strongest and most accurate material is what the tools have to draw from. The firm limits removal work to content that violates a platform's published policies and does not use impersonation or false flagging.
Online reputation management in this setting works on the sources rather than the answers themselves. An AI engine cannot be edited directly, but it can only summarize what already exists online. When a page that violates a platform's policies is removed or de-indexed, and when weaker results are suppressed beneath stronger and more accurate ones, the pool of material an engine draws from changes. Over time, the firm says, the answers tend to follow the sources.
The timing concern is specific. Once a model has absorbed a claim, the same phrasing can reappear across different tools and secondary pages that copy from one another. Addressing the original source early, while it exists in only a few places, leaves fewer copies for an engine to encounter later. The firm describes this as ordinary maintenance rather than a crisis, though it notes that the cost of waiting is measured in how widely the content has already been repeated.
Reviews sit close to the center of the problem because they are structured, plentiful, and easy for an engine to quote. A single unresolved complaint can be summarized as a pattern when nothing accurate surrounds it. The firm's reputation work pairs source-level cleanup with continuous monitoring, so a business learns when a new review or article enters the pool early enough to weigh a measured response, a policy-based removal request, or added material that gives an engine a fuller picture to summarize.
The company frames the change as a practical one rather than a dramatic one. AI answers are becoming a common first impression, and that impression is assembled from whatever is already online. The firm's position is that acting early, while the source material is still limited, gives a business more room to influence what those answers say. More information about the firm's approach to AI answers and reputation is available at https://thereputation.org/.


About The Reputation.org The Reputation.org (operated by Aurawave Inc.) is a national brand and crisis reputation firm that removes damaging content, reviews, articles, and records before they become permanent in search and AI answers, then shapes what people and AI find instead. Services span reputation management, crisis management, review and content removal, and reputation monitoring for businesses and high-stakes individuals. Performance-based pricing applies to qualified removals: scope, eligibility, and timing are confirmed during a case review, and some content is legally or technically constrained.

Get Em Out Wildlife Control Encourages Ottawa Homeowners to Begin Fall Pest Prevention Planning Early

OTTAWA, ON - July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Get Em Out Wildlife Control is encouraging Ottawa homeowners to begin planning for fall pest prevention now, before the seasonal shift drives insects and wildlife toward residential structures in search of warmth and shelter. The company notes that fall pest pressure in the Ottawa region follows a predictable pattern each year, and that homeowners who address structural vulnerabilities and active pest conditions before September have significantly more options than those who wait until an infestation is already established indoors.
Fall pest activity in Eastern Ontario is shaped by temperature. As overnight temperatures drop through August and September, insects, including ants, hornets, and stink bugs, shift their behaviour toward overwintering, seeking enclosed spaces that maintain warmth through the colder months. Wildlife species, including mice, squirrels, and raccoons, intensify their search for protected entry points into attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities during the same window. The overlap of insect and wildlife pressure during the early fall period makes it the most consequential time of year for residential pest prevention.
Hornets present a particular consideration during late summer and early fall, when colonies reach their peak population before the seasonal decline that kills off worker hornets with the first hard frost. A hornet colony that has gone undetected through the summer months reaches its most aggressive phase in late August and September, when foraging activity increases and worker hornets respond to perceived threats near the nest site more intensely than at any other point in the season. Homeowners who discover an active nest during that window face a more difficult removal situation than those who identified and addressed the colony earlier in the season.
"Fall is when we see the volume of calls increase sharply, and most of the situations we respond to were preventable," said Sean Robertson, Owner of Get Em Out Wildlife Control. "The homeowners who come to us in October with a mouse problem inside the wall had entry points that were open all summer. The ones who call us in August for an inspection before the season turns allow us to close those entry points before anything moves in. That timing difference determines whether you spend the fall managing a problem or avoiding one."
Get Em Out Wildlife Control provides pest control services for residential and commercial properties in Ottawa, Ontario, covering wildlife exclusion, insect control, and integrated pest management across Ottawa and surrounding communities. The company's fall prevention program includes a property inspection that evaluates exterior entry points, roofline conditions, foundation gaps, and vegetation contact with the structure, identifying the access paths that mice, squirrels, and overwintering insects exploit during the seasonal transition. Each identified vulnerability is documented and addressed through exclusion materials suited to the specific condition.
The company also provides hornet's nest removal services in Ottawa for properties with active colonies, using protective equipment and species-appropriate treatment methods to eliminate nests safely, regardless of their location on the structure. Hornet nests are found in a range of locations, including eaves, soffits, wall voids, and underground, with each location presenting different access and treatment considerations. Get Em Out Wildlife Control's experience with the full range of nest-site configurations in the Ottawa region enables the company to manage removals at locations that pose challenges for general pest operators without species-specific training.
For homeowners dealing with ant activity that has persisted through the summer, fall represents a critical window to hire a professional ant exterminator in Ottawa for effective ant removal before colonies establish overwintering sites inside the structure. Carpenter ants, which are among the most structurally damaging ant species in Eastern Ontario, move into wall voids and insulated spaces as temperatures drop, creating satellite colonies inside the home that can be difficult and costly to address once established. Early fall treatment targeting carpenter ant activity reduces the likelihood that summer exterior populations transition into interior overwintering infestations.


About Get Em Out Wildlife Control: Get Em Out Wildlife Control is an Ottawa-based wildlife removal and pest control company providing humane exclusion and integrated pest management services for residential and commercial clients across Ottawa, Orleans, Kemptville, and surrounding communities. Founded by Sean Robertson, the company is a three-time Top Choice Award recipient and provides wildlife removal, hornet nest removal, ant control, and seasonal pest prevention services across the Ottawa region.

PNW Fence & Gate Announces Gate Fabrication, Automation and Repair

CHEHALIS, WA - July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
PNW Fence & Gate today announced that it now handles every stage of an automated driveway gate project in-house, from custom fabrication in its Chehalis shop to operator installation and repair on systems the company did not originally build. The company serves residential, agricultural and small commercial properties across Lewis and Thurston counties and neighboring communities in western Washington.
A motorized gate that stops working creates an immediate access problem. Depending on where the gate sits and how it failed, a property owner can be blocked from driving onto the property or stuck on the wrong side of it until a technician arrives to release or repair the system. PNW Fence & Gate repairs and replaces gate operators, the drive units that physically open and close a gate, including LiftMaster and HySecurity equipment already installed on customer properties. Reviews on the company's Google profile describe same-day and next-day response on failed gates.

Service calls commonly involve worn hinges and rollers, failed electronics, storm-damaged motors or safety sensors that no longer read correctly and refuse to let the gate close. The company keeps replacement motors in stock rather than special-ordering each unit, which shortens the time a gate sits broken. It also takes on gates that another contractor installed and later stopped supporting. Crews build and automate both swing gates, which pivot open like a door, and slide gates, which roll along the fence line where a driveway is too steep or too short for a swinging panel.
Fabrication happens in the company's own shop, not through an outside supplier. Owner Tallon Ball, a welder by trade, builds custom steel gates to fit sloped entrances, uneven driveways and nonstandard openings instead of forcing a pre-built panel onto the site. Ball works on job sites daily rather than managing from an office. The same crew that welds the gate hangs it, wires the motor and programs the keypads and remotes, which leaves one contractor responsible for the finished system.
Gate motors installed by the company come with a seven-year warranty on the motor itself. A two-year workmanship warranty covers the labor on every job, from a hinge repair to a full fabrication and automation project. The company holds a 5.0 rating across 52 Google reviews, and 32 of those reviews describe gate installations, operator replacements or gate repairs. Its service area covers 13 cities, running from Chehalis and Centralia north through Tumwater, Olympia and Lacey to Lakewood. Gated driveways have become a regular request in the company's recent work, showing up most often on rural parcels and newer acreage properties.
"A gate is the one part of the property that has to work every single day," said Tallon Ball, owner of PNW Fence & Gate. "When it quits, you are either stuck behind it or stuck outside it, and waiting weeks for an out-of-area company is not a real answer. We build them, wire them and fix them ourselves because quality over quantity only counts if you stand behind the whole system."
Property owners can request a free on-site estimate for a new gate, an automation retrofit on an existing gate or a repair visit by calling (360) 996-4250 or through the company's website. Completed gate and fencing projects are available for review on the company's business profile.

What FDA Data Reveals About Breast Implant Safety in 2026

July 22, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, Michelle Hardaway M.D., a board-certified plastic surgery practice offering breast augmentation in Farmington Hills, is helping patients cut through the noise on one of the most-searched questions in cosmetic surgery this year: how safe breast implants are in 2026, and what the current FDA data actually shows.
Public interest in implant safety has climbed alongside broader awareness of breast implant illness (BII) and rare implant-associated cancers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration continues to monitor these risks through post-market surveillance and, since 2021, has required a boxed warning and a patient decision checklist that surgeons review and sign with every patient before surgery. That checklist covers implant lifespan, the possibility of future surgery, and conditions such as BIA-ALCL, a rare and treatable cancer of the immune system that is distinct from breast cancer and has been linked primarily to certain textured implants. For patients across Oakland County and the greater Metro Detroit area, understanding those distinctions is the starting point of an informed decision.
"Patients in 2026 are more informed than ever, and that is a good thing. Our approach focuses on a thorough, honest consultation, reviewing the FDA checklist, the real risks and the alternatives, so each patient can decide what is right for her body," said Dr. Michelle Hardaway, M.D., F.A.C.S., board-certified plastic surgeon.
Dr. Hardaway brings over 20 years of experience and dual board certification in plastic and general surgery to that safety conversation. As a former Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Director of the Burn Center at Detroit Receiving Hospital, and an Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery at Wayne State University, she approaches cosmetic work with a reconstructive surgeon's respect for tissue healing and long-term outcomes. Procedures are performed at the practice's QUAD A-accredited surgical center, staffed by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. The practice does not accept insurance and offers financing options for qualified patients through CareCredit.
According to the FDA and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, implants are not lifetime devices, meaning some patients may need additional surgery over time, and long-term monitoring is part of responsible care. Both organizations emphasize that informed consent and consistent follow-up help identify rare complications early. Modern advances, including highly cohesive silicone gel and no-touch insertion techniques, are designed to reduce risks such as gel migration and infection, though no procedure is without risk.
Hardaway notes that patient selection and education drive safe outcomes. "The safest result starts with honesty. I walk every patient through the benefits, the risks and the follow-up that implants require, the same standard I have brought to every procedure for over 20 years," she said.
Women in Farmington Hills and throughout Michigan who want to understand breast implant safety, review their options, or discuss monitoring after a prior augmentation can learn about Dr. Hardaway's approach and request a paid, appointment-based consultation at https://michellehardawaymd.com/. All consultations are paid and appointment-based to ensure dedicated time and a personalized plan.
