My dog got fleas and sleeps in our room...now it seems that the fleas have invaded our bed. This happened a couple of years ago but I don't remember how to get rid of them except for a bug bomb and I would like to avoid doing that. We have hardwood floors...I have washed all of the bedding, the rugs on the floor, and her pet bed in hot water. Any other recommendations?

My mum always nagged at me for leaving the switch on. I just want to know if it's dangerous or not. Is any electricity being consumed even though the appliances are not being used?

This is actually some additional info from my previous question a few weeks ago regarding my York central AC in the house we just bought. I went up into the attic and flipped the two switches on the side of the unit there. Sorry, I do not know what it is called, the furnace I believe. Now the light goes on on the thermostat when I move the switch to EM Heat so I know there is power to it. When I move the switch to cool and the fan to on, there is a clicking noise in the unit outside and in the box on the wall of the house. There are two boxes, one with a bunch of wires and another which has a pull-out switch you pull out and turn over to off or on. It is set to on. The box of wires also makes a low humming noise when the AC is switched on. The fan is still not turning on. Could there be a problem with the motor? I know nothing about AC so I am sorry I do not know the part names.

I have a uniform shirt it's a regualr polo style pullover- and i have a small grease stain on the front of it where i had dropped something while cooking dinner. I almost immediately put Oxyclean on it, but it barely lightened it. Is there any way to get that stain out or am I just down 1 uniform shirt?

Is there anyway of calculating based on water temperature or pressure? I have no info from the original home owner or no knowledge of what company drilled the well. I'm curious about it's depth. The last owner says 60 feet but that simply can't be because I live on a hill much higher than 60 feet. If it were only 60 feet deep there should be water running out the side of my hill. Any ideas?

The woman says that it's been sitting for about a year, but that it's a contractor's heavy duty model. We'll be using it for about a week out at Burning Man, just at night for the most part, but ALL night. Should I be looking for anything in particular that says it's in bad shape?

My kids say that the science teacher told them the roots on a plant are as long as the plant is tall. Assuming that is correct, if you cut the top of the plant, do the roots shrink?

I am sick of the pool. How much of the bottom do I need to bust out so water will not collect? I was planning on renting a jack hammer to tear out the deck and throw all this into the pool. The bottom is gunite, sides are fiberglass.
My buddy has a Bobcat so we can fill in the balance of pool with gravel and dirt.
I will probably plant a few trees and landscape over the filled in area.
I live in Dallas so freezing weather in not a problem.

i purchased a 2 family home with a basement. The basement has a funky smell in general there is no real source from where it is coming from. the smell has gone upstairs to my 2nd floor apartment. i have wash all the wall and painted all walls. i mopped with ammonia and bleach ( not at the same time) i did the air freshner, but the smell is still there. and the smell gets worse in the summer time. in the winter time the house smells nice n pretty, but once the temp reaches over 80 degrees is nothing but funk. I clean my house evryday and take trash out. can some please send me some good ideas, and no i'm not selling the house. the smell is not foul is just funky.
