Any help is appreciated

I did not cut my lawn for 6 weeks, because we were on vacations and we could not find anybody to cut the grass for us. Now the grass is pale and very long and full of seeds.

Im having issues with my hummingbird feeder. I cant keep the ants out of it. I put ant killer all the way around the post it is hanging on. I tried putting cooking oil on the hanger. Someone said that would work. It still gets ants in it. How does everyone else keep ants out of theirs?

Is it true that moth's actually eat clothing and fabrics? What would the holes look like? And how would you get rid of them?

Do you think it's even possible to get a good vacuum for less than $100? Money is really tight for me these days, but I want to invest in a quality product. What do you suggest?

I use Miracid once a month and it has blooms and flowers. But, more and more leaves are turning yellow and falling off. Are they just old leaves?

so i have a family of sparrows living in my chimney. i first noticed peeping sounds about 2 weeks ago, and they have gotten progressively louder since then. now my house sounds like the aviary at the zoo. anyways, i figure that there is a nest with hatchlings in it and they are getting bigger. i realize that the quickest way to remove the birds would be to build a fire, however, i don't dig too much on killing baby birds. i was thinking about waiting until the birds are grown and leave the nest, however it is getting really noisy, and what if there are other nests as well? i am pretty sure that the birds are sparrows if that help with your advice any. thanks for the help!

We moved into a house and one of the toilets is awful. It has some kind of mineral or calcium build up or something. You actually have to take a screwdriver and a hammer and chip it off the inside of the bowl. Does anyone know what this could be and how do i get rid of it. Ive tried several things and nothing works. Please help.

In my backyard, there is a macademia tree next to the wall dividing my backyard with my neighbor's backyard. I have identified the tall juniper trees as the mice's hideout, and they come out at night to eat the nuts. This has been going on for at least an year...

I have tried lots of things, like sitting out there part of the night and throwing sticks at the mice, but they keep coming back, and I've even tried filling some of the macademia nuts with chili pepper. I've even read that mice could jump three feet, so I made sure that no part of the tree was touching the 6 1/2 feet wall. In addition, I surrounded the base of the tree with slippery aluminum foil so it can't climb up.


I've run out of ideas, any suggestions?

Is it common for a home builder to tie the airconditioner run off into a sink line?
I have been remodeling and removed my vanity and installed a pedistal sink. The sink works fine but there is a pipe that sticks about 6 inches out of the wall near all of the other pipes. We couldn't figure out what this pipe was for until we started running our airconditioner and found that the builder of our house tied the run off from the airconditioner into our sink. We now have a pipe that sticks out of the wall with a flowing stream of water while the air is on. Does anyone know how to tie the pipes back into the main pipe system. We can not cap it off for obvious reasons. I do not want a bucket sitting under my sink all summer long.
PLEASE HELP!

This sounds stupid, but where the heck on the plant do you find them? I cannot find the seed pods.

I just shampooed a very dirty carpet thoroughly, and used the enzyme deodorizer to go with the Rug Doctor, but it still stinks. Not pet odor, but just a general dirty smell. I am drying it out now with a dehumidifier, and want to try something that won't make it look dirty again, and will eliminate the odor, not mask it, if possible. I am leaning toward Febreze. Does anyone have experience with this? Or other solutions? Thanks!
