I have what would be a really nice lawn, but I have these large nightcrawlers that multiply and dig up my yard. I would like to get rid of them, if there is an easy way to do so. I am hoping that you readers will have great anwers. I will try most anything that is legal and safe. I know that there is one with batteries and wire I think. However there must be other ways. Give it your best shot. Thanks to each and everyone that participates here.

What can I use to get rid of the hairspray buildup on my bathroom floor? I've tried Mr. Clean, Lysol, 409 and even Tilex. I've tried using a mop and a scrub sponge. But nothing seems to help.

Cleaning staff, especially in schools and other insitutions with hard floors, spread what's called "green dust" on the floor and it seems to help clean. What is "green dust" made from and how does it work?

I live in a detatched house next to some land which a property developer is going to build a very large number of flats on. They have approached me to ask if they can buy my house as well as they say it will enhance their scheme greatly. What shall I do, do you sell for the straight price of the property or can you name your price?

We just removed a wall to make one room out of our small dining and living room. It looks great as far as light goes. But I need help in color. I now have both area's painted light creamy yellow. I love the color. Our new taylored couch and side chair are camel color, the rug in the living room area is a medium mustard color and wood floors in the dining area. All new before we took the wall down so if possible I'd like to work around what we have.
I'd like to keep the walls light but would like some help in colors for the walls and maybe an accent color for a wall or more. We have a gas fire place that we can put any place but we decided the dining room wall is were it fits in the best with what we have and it does look nice in the dining room plus you can see it from the living area. I need help with style and color for window treatments, wall color, and any other help to make it look inviting and stylish. I do not want to go country. I like as much light as possible.
