Where can there be an infestation that they would be able to get into the clocks? I am horrified! I think they came in with some things that had been in a storage unit for a year. Bengel isn't helping. I'm having weekend overnight company and have been trying to 2 weeks to get rid of the bugs! Some are tiny with antenna. Any advise?

I am buying a flat and the seller wants to charge me for carpets (don't think I can call their bluff on this). Carpets were not in the place when they purcased [shared ownership]. I need a rough estimate for carpeting a 2 bed flat.

2 bed rooms approx 12x8ft
1 hall approx 3x18ft
1 lounge approx 12x18ft
Not the kitchen/bathroom

I need to know the re-carpeting costs before I offer somehting for the current carpet as I don't have much case available after the purcahse.

Any help with coming up with a rough cost for purchase and fitting (including underlay) would be really helpful.

We live in the country, and house backyard backs up to a farm, so there are lots of flies.
They get in the house and we find them hanging from the walls like they stuck themselves there to die. Why do they do this?

I didn't know where to put this question, so I stuck it here, lol.

Hi

After a heavy down pour, I have started to get a horrible smell in my dining room (which is under the bathroom) as well as the bathroom itself? Any ideas before I call out a plumber?

I have killed three PACK RATS in my kitchen within the past six months. I had to buy a very large rat trap after two of my mouse traps totally disappeared. The last rat was the size of small dog. No kidding! From end to end, not including the tail, it was aproximately 11 inches long. The steel trap kills them, but how can I make them ALL leave, or at least kill them at a faster rate. They don't seem to be biting on the Poison I put out.

We moved Jan. 06, going on 11 months here I do wish to plan a house warming. Due to uncontrolled circumstances throughout the year hindered us from planning something and being joyous. My husbands father had a heart attack the end of Jan., I moved off site (I manage apts.), a drunk driver drove thrue one of my buildings (stressful) in Feb., March a close freind from church, age 25 mother of 2 passed away from a severe stroke, the end of March my father in law has another heart attack, then just the simple task of unpacking thrue all this, making my kids feel secure in their new home and adjusting to school, the list goes on. It has truely been a stressful year and I'm looking for a better year in 2007. But I did not want to seem tacky in planning a house warming 1 year later.
