I have an arachnophobic husband, he screams like a girly when he sees one and will sprint out of the house, knocking anything in his way over.

Its autumn here in the UK and is house-spider mating season so they are prowling all over the place looking for a good time.

My cat is useless, she just bats them about with her paw but doesnt kill them.

Is there anything available I can spray round, or a powder I can dust round the house to repel them?

We're totally confused. All my wife did was turn off the hot and cold water under the sink, cleaned the handle of the faucet, put the handle back on, turned the hot and cold water back on under the faucet and now the water is barely coming out.

We moved into a new building that is next to a soy bean field. In the past week, crickets have become a real problem in the building. The windows are air tight and the doors are used very seldom. Just early morning and late afternoon. How are the crickets getting in and how can we get them out?

Do you make your bed in the morning, knowing that you're going to lie in it at night? Do you hang up your clothes, knowing that you're going to wear them again?

They look like ladybugs and every year around this time they swarm around and get in my house. Last year we had them for nearly 8 months. Can't figure out how they're getting in. Anyone know of any traps or effective ways to get rid of them in your house?

I have a very sad begonia - it is droopy and the soil seems to stay wet no matter what. The foliage stays curled up and unhappy. This plant is in a hanging basket on my front porch. Do I need to flush the soil out and replace it? Please help me help this poor plant before it's too late.

There is a bush I have been fighting in my garden that has powdery mildew - I have finally gotten all of the roots out of the ground and want to know what do I do to prevent any recurrence of powdery mildew in that area of the garden? The shrublike plant is finally completely gone from the garden (yeay!! it's taken 2 years to get rid of it!) but I am concerned about planting anything there w/o treating it or doing SOMETHING. Dont want to murder some innocent plant... ;)
