My house backs into a wooded area & we are having a big problem with certain insects but do not have the money to call out an exterminator. We're having a problem with roaches & even more so with crickets!!!!!! I live in the basement & went to take a shower the other morning & there were 3 crickets in my shower & my parents are now finding them in their bedroom upstairs! Does ANYONE know of anything we can maybe use around the perimeter of the house outside to deter them?? We need something that has proven to work cause they are becoming quite a big problem & are really annoying us now. HELP!

I recycle old aluminum gas grill housings, and i was thinking of creating a bucket full of the old brass controls from the grills i pick up to recycle too. Is it really worth it?

They are not flying around and stay pretty much in the sink where the waste disposal is located.

We have only extremely short-pile carpets in our apartment, and our last vacuum (a dust devil) had difficulty cleaning them properly. Any advice as to a vacuum cleaner that would work well on these kinds of rugs?

I recently moved into an apartment that was not cleaned very well by the landlord, and the previous tenants had cats.

What is the best way to clean the walls that are covered in flat paint, short of repainting the walls? I'm sure the walls absorbed some of the cat odors because it just won't go away. Can you clean walls well that are covered in flat paint?

I can tell that the plastic venetian blinds have a filth on them, and I have a good technique for cleaning them in the bathtub and I think that will help a good deal.

Any USEFUL ideas you have would be appreciated. Thanks..!
