At my house we have a dog door, and just saw a story on the news about a cat burgular who went inside the dog door and stole a famlies possessions. What could my family do to prevent that from happening? (We can't take the dog door off. we need it.) PLEASE NO RUDE ANSWERS.

We have a light, goose down comforter that is very light and comfy but has a terrible smell. I've washed it twice and put it in the dryer with multiple dryer sheets but it still has a nasty smell. What can I do to get rid of the stench?

we have something in the garden eating the bottom of our tomatoes, we know what the terapin (?) turtle bite looks like because we have had some of those, we also know what it is when a raccoon eats from the garden, because we are dealing with that too, we would like to know if there is an insect of some kind that can eat what would be about a 2 lb tomato and what to do to rid ourselves of the problem. any help at all would be very appreciated. --- if it helps at all, the ones that are half eaten, are always around the bottom of the plant. no higher up than mid schin.

I noticed the other day when my husband pulled up the old carpet layed new that we all of sudden had a flea problem in one and only one of our rooms. This room doesnt come into contact with any of our pets. I keep the doors shut so I have no idea why they are in that room and where they came from. Do you guys have any tips on how to get rid of them. I just vacuumed and sprayed a reptile flea, tick, and mite killer in the room. I was just curious if there was anything else I could do. Thanks for your answers and I can do without the harsh comments as well.

I have several plants like Dracaena (lucky bamboo), Venus Fly Trap, and an Orchid all of which require distilled water because they are sensitive to chlorine in tap water. I also Have several fish tanks that require me to use a water conditioner to remove the chlorine and chemicals so I was wondering if I can use conditioned water (not tank water) instead of distilled water to water these plants. I'm kind of tired of buying special water just for a few plants. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried this.
Anyone have any opinions or facts about this idea?

I found a bug tonight that, other than the color scheme, I would have mistken for a lady bug. I know its a beetle, but its color scheme is black with white dots instead of the ladybug's read and black. Bug lovers, any ideas?

In just the last few days the floors running from the kitchen, through the dinning room, and into the family room have warped like crazy. A few weeks ago, we started using our roof-top swamp cooler again, but would that cause such a serious problem? Anyway, I need to get them fixed FAST. We are scheduled for a home inspection on the 31st to get our Fostering License, and these roller-coaster floors are not going to cut it! I know from previous floor repairs in other parts of the home that the walls are built on top of the floor boards, so I don't think I can just pull up the boards that are warped without having to take walls down - which is impossible! Please help! Any ideas for a quick and easy cheap repair would be helpful. Other than running away screaming, I just don't see what can be done!

We recently bought a new house trailer, and on the window was a piece of white colored tape. It had been there for months I assume, because now, I can't get the tape residue off the window! Its like baked on from the sun always shining on it. Anyway, I've tried lighter fluid, and nail polish remover, and nothing seems to even slightly get it off. Any ideas?! Thanks in advance...

Is there an online picture gallery of weeds so that I can look at the plant in my garden and compare it with the pictures? I think I know what some weeds look like, but I don't want to pull a good plant accidentally. Yes, I forgot what I planted in my garden.
