I don't want to spend £100 by calling out Pest Control if the problem will keep recurring.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what treatments I can buy and where from?

I just bought and installed a new vinyl floor that I bought at Lowes
When I purchased it ahead of time they wrote my name on it. I figured it was wax crayon like they usually use, but I have tried "Goof Off" which usually takes anything off and it didn't touch it. HELP!!!! What can I use without damaging new flooring?

We just had a power bill of nearly a thousand dollars and the boys at my house think it's from the pool pump (it's on a total of eight hours a day, which apparently is standard) while I think it's from them using the dryer constantly, instead of hanging clothes on the line. I need some proof to back me up!

Currently it's trapped in our closet with some d-con (rat poison) but I can hear it scratching or biting away at something. If it gets house will it bite us in our sleep?? Our beds are on the floor.

The room is north facing, and doesnt get alot of light.
The furniture in the room includes dark wood units and 2 chocolate coloured leather sofas.
There is quite alot of green in the form of houseplants.

It's basically a square room with a window on the wall opposite the fireplace. The wall with the fireplace has two alcoves either side of the chimney breast.

I'm looking for a warm, rich, inviting room, and I have absolutely no idea.

I'm looking at a RoboMower for the lawn. We have about an acre, minus the footprint of the house. The front is level, but has a number of trees. The back has fewer trees, but about a forty-five, fifty-five degree slope to a creek, then a bridge across the creek to another section of lawn. Any suggestions?

What's the deal with armadillos? Do they get into the trash cans? Do they eat your vegetables from your garden? Do they torment your pets? Do they attack viciously when you step out for the paper?

Or do children chase them about, rolling them up into balls and throwing them hither and thither...?

Inquiring minds in California want to know.

Why does my dishwasher do such a crappy job? Leaving behind minute particles on dishes, even though I rinse them well before putting them in the dishwasher. And it's a fairly recent year Whirlpool.

I saw the other posting where they suggest a high concentration of bleach. I can't do that since I have a septic system. I've tried vinegar, normal amounts of biodegradable bleach, leaving the lid open in between washings... help! it always smells like sweaty gym socks.

I have a side by side refrigerator and it runs constantly. The food is still frozen in the freezer side but it's not quite as cold as it used to be on the fridge side. Any suggestions or experiences with a similar problem would be helpful.
