Does silk come from a silkworm?
Silkworms produce silk when they grow from worms, into their adult stage: a moth.
In between these stages, the silkworm spins a single thread of silk around itself, which eventually hardens into a cocoon to protect it during this transformation. This silk is excreted from the salivary glands.
The worm is boiled alive during this stage before the silk is removed. If it were allowed to grow and emerge from the cocoon, it would break the cocoon in the process, making it less valuable for silk production (and useless for high quality garment).
The silk itself can also be loosen by soaking water. which will loosen up the "gum". Labors use a brush to push the cocoon up and down until one of the loose end is attack to the brush.

Does the Bell plus Howell ultrasounic pest repeller really work?
Yes they do - I have one myself.
I'll tell you how they work. Mice, insects and other critters have extremely sensitive hearing and can hear sounds beyond 20,000 Hertz. Ultrasonic Pest Repellers exploit this biological characteristic and use this against the pests. This drives the pests crazy and they leave your home, or whatever place you want them to leave.
No dont use bug spray you use porocside. It heals bug bites try porocside not dum old bug spray.GOODLUCK.
What kind of insects do mice eat?
Generally, house mice are herbivores, and eat only fruits and grains. However, if their preferred foods aren't available, they'll eat other foods, including meat, dairy, and insects.
