I bought one of those mops with the disposable cloths today and on the box it reads "keep out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental ingestion." This brings up some strange mental imagery. There are no chemicals included; it's just a mop handle with disposable cloths. Any idea how one could ingest a mop?

I have found small bugs in my house. Usually under funiture that I moved, in my spare bedroom, and in spare blankets.

They are approx 1/8 inch long. Brown head. Brown and beige striped body, 4 legs, and white underneath.

They move very slowly, and the dead ones I have found seem to be stretched out like a worm and turn a darker colour.

I do have cats, but they have no bugs on them.

I have had a few itchy red bite marks on my body, but I'm not sure if they are related.

Please help!!!! Thank you.

Our yard has dark green spots all over it. The feces left behind fertilizes the yard (yea!) however, the rest of the yard is not nearly as fertilized, Which leaves polka-dots all over are yard. Not very good curba appeal. First, I know I need to take him to a certain area to avoid the scattered patches. However, how can I repair what's already been done? Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased a few hibiscus trees on sale at Lowes and I know pretty much how to care for them, but I am unsure of two things. What are you supposed to do with the old flowers the day after? Do you pull them off or do you let them fall off themselves? Also, i read that it is better to keep them outside in the beginning of the winter, let them die off, trim them back, then store them in the garage for a couple of months. Then you bring them inside with a lot of sun until it is warm outside. Is that true? I live in Va, so the length of time that it is cold is not that long, but I don't want them to die, they are so pretty. Thanks for answering my questions.

I have white leather couches that are about 8 years old. There aren't any cracks or anything, but there are grayish spots from storage. It looks kindof like mildew or mold or something, but it is very stubborn to come out. I've tried using typical leather cleaners and conditioners, but it only works moderately well. Is there any way to bring them back to a nice white?
