Home & Garden - 29 June 2006

My husband and I bought our house from a person who loved bamboo. We have been living here for 3 years and can't get rid of it. Our whole backyard is covered with it. we try to cut it down and it grows back bigger and stronger. Whenever it rains it grows faster. We can't let our dogs out for fear the'll be covered in bugs. We can't see any of our neighbors houses on all three sides. When we cut it we have to stack it for the garbage and it spreads everywhere we drag it. Will any place buy it from us? Does anyone know how to KILL IT?

we just moved into a new house, and the mosquitos are HORRIBLE, outside and in. i know there's nothing i can do about being outside other then using citronella candles and putting bug spray on, but how can i get them to stop coming into my house?

do they find secret holes in the wall and sneak through there, or is it when i open and close the door to the outside? anyone know if it's safe to burn citronella in your house?

i'm tired of them buzzing around my head when i'm sleeping and biting my feet when i'm watching tv!! help!

Plumber today informed me after an hour that a water pump in my basement that works in conjunction only with a bathroom in that area,needs to be replaced. The problem is that the original installer of that pump did not use piping that has sections and now, when the pump is removed water (exact quantity unknown) will spill onto the carpeted floor...the plumber mentioned placing plastic on the floor; however, I would like to know if there is a product that absorbs liquids that spill, similar to a sponge???I need to purchase same before any work is done...

I am trying to decide between a Goodman and Trane HVAC systems. The price for the Goodman is 70% of the Trane. The Goodman also has a far superior warranty. Is Trane that much better? Is it worth the cost?
