Drilling chemicals or baiting termites or commercial forms of removal are not ultimate solutions to termite problems. The presence of termites is mostly today due to human encroachment on insects and animal habitats. Do we have better ways of preventing their invasion of homes without having to pay for spraying or drilling with chemicals. Surely there must be some friendlier way of handling this. Bear in mind there is no home without papers or cellulose bearing materials!! ARE we stuck with the fumigators????!!!!

I am not a smoker, first off. I just purchased(from a person not a company), an oversized chair/ottoman set, it is suede or microsuede. I had it in my house for about an hour and now I smell cigarette smoke all over both items, and now my living room is starting to smell also. I have called a professional cleaner about the furniture but have yet to hear back from them. I need to know what I can do to rid my house of that smell, and what I can do to eliminate it on the chair/ottoman. I tried febreeze, a whole large bottle and it did nothing, then I tried odor cide and it took some away, made it fainter but it is still there. I have only had this chair in my house for a few hours and it is driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I dont want to have to get rid of these pieces.

I share a house with 11 other people and am the only one having problems. There are no pets in the house, there is no carpeting. Is it safe to set of a flea fogger in just my room? Will it affect electronics? How do I make sure my clothes, lines and upholstery will be flea clean?

I have small children 5 and under, and they just have no concept of keeping their clothes neatly organized. I kind of gave up on a system, as I find their drawers popped open with dirty and clean clothes alike, just tossed in. So my question is how do you handle your kid's behavior in this and most importantly, how do you organize your children's clothes? I am looking for a system, as much for me as them, as I HATE laundry and putting clothes away because of this. It is just getting out of hand, and it takes forever to get them dressed and I dread it. Please tell me your system, what you fold and what you hang, etc. Thanks!!!

I have a house built in the early 40s. The basement has old 8" tiles. I'm not sure what they are made of. Ceramic? Something else? Anyway, can I lay self-stick tiles on these if I clean them really really well? I'm trying to make the family room more homey. My new house has 12" self-stick tiles in a basement room and it looks nice. It feels like they just laid them right on the cement.

I have the laminate flooring installed and wood quarter round around my walls. I think some kind of quarter round or trim will look better up against the curves of my stairs. I just dont like the way the flooring looks where it ends with the stairs.
