Westlake Ace Hardware launches Zombie Preparedness Center.
(LENEXA, Kan., October 3, 2011) – There has been a rise of the undead across the country, but this doesn’t have to put a damper on the daily lives of our citizens. As the zombie awakening spreads across the country, Westlake Ace Hardware is the Zombie Preparedness Headquarters.
Westlake Hardware’s online Zombie Preparedness Center (wesklakehardware.com/zombies) is the first stop for identifying and handling any zombie-related need, from getting rid of the smell of rot and decay to safely removing zombie limbs from your yard.
Westlake Hardware’s Zombie Preparedness Experts can help you find the best protective gear for your individual needs. These experts advise residents in adopting best practices for dealing with zombies.
Recommended zombie-proofing includes fortified fencing to prevent wandering stragglers, which can lead to trampled gardens, unpleasant smells of rotting flesh and unexpected undead visitors in your home. It is also recommended that residents ensure locks are in good working order. If not, they should install replacement locks. Residents should check windows and screens for cracks and tears, and consider door alarms, which are noisy deterrents and great for early warning of zombie intrusions.
Many traditional tools used for routine home maintenance, such as cordless drills, chainsaws, hammers and nail guns, can also offer valuable protection against zombies. Westlake also has the supplies to handle zombie-related home maintenance needs, including lawn re-seeding, cleaners and detergents and window and screen repairs. Westlake also offers in-store services for window and screen repair for those who are less inclined to tackle the job themselves.
For more tips and suggestions, residents can refer to the Frequently Asked Questions located throughout the Westlake Hardware website. These answer customers’ most pressing zombie-related inquiries, including zombie-trampled yards, zombie-filled pools and zombie-specific pesticides.
Westlake’s focus is on small projects and offering its customers access to big know-how. It is committed to providing help for all your home maintenance needs.
