I moved into an appt, and I have killed these long bug things a few times in the past month I've lived here. I have a dog too, so I need something that is pet-friendly. Any suggestions?

I recently moved into the house we bought and we noticed that our house is the home-based to a family of bees. We have gotten rid of three hives so far( within 2 months time) and we are afraid they will make another one. I have a four year old who always plays outside, and I'm starting to be afraid for her safety. Besides calling an exterminator,what are my options....well do I have any??

we think a rabbit has died under our deck because flies are nearby. Our kids play out there all the time. We've noticed this foul smell. Will ammonia do the job because it is totally impossible for us to reach the dead carcass to remove it, but to pour something through there just might work, right?
