Home & Garden - 23 August 2006

The pool house roof is inset and warm due to the heater and the previous owners used to feed them. I've been told that animal control won't remove them. They are quite bold, but tame - I even caught one swimming in the pool one evening! But I do have two cats, and am afraid to let them out at night. I am afraid the racoons are damaging the roof, and they send little "presents" down into the pool house. Any suggestions?

It is round with a chord that you pull to draw out the air from the kitchen to the outside. I can't find any place that still sells them.

I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem with Pantry Pests, those ugly tan colored moths that usually hang out in your kitchen, and what can you do to get rid of them? I guess they are also known as Indian Meal Moths. I don't know where they are coming from (there are a few of them flying in each of the rooms in the house) but they are really annoying.

Here is a pic of what they look like:

Thank you.

Our living room is in the back of the house and we have french doors that open inside that lead to our patio. I make all of my own drapes and am just stumped as to what options I have with these new doors. I want a lined curtain of some sort and nothing swaggy. I've already chosen my fabrics, just looking for style ideas.

Should I use a paint brush or edger?

If so, have you encountered any problems with it? Do the kids pull it down? Tear it? Get scared of it? Or would you get one again?

It takes a lot of strength to slide my door open and shut. Have cleaned the bottom track and spray WD 40, which helps a little. Is there an adjustment I can do?

I washed and dried a cotton blouse before I realized it had dried blood on it. Can it be removed or at least mostly removed?
