my bf puts out bread crumbs for the slugs to eat at night but i hate the sight of them and tip salt on them to kill them when hes not looking. he caught me and said i was mean...but slugs are yucky! why should i let them live just so they get in my way on the garden path or ooze their sluggy goo all over the kitchen floor when i leave the door open when cooking and they come in?

I haven't seen any pests as of yet..but I can hear them move under the floor and have absolutely no idea how to get rid of them.
Contacting the landlord is not going to easy..so I will have to solve this myself.

The flat is really clean and i cannot see any holes....how can I get under the floor boards? Or where should I put the poison/traps?

I have an intense phobia for rats, and a bunch of them have appeared in my backyard. The other night, I opened the outdoor grill to put on a steak and three rats jumped out of it, almost giving me a heart attack.

So I am looking for tips on getting rid of these things...FOR GOOD! and keeping them away as well. I especially would like to hear from people who have had experience with this type of stuff: Which method worked best for you? Which methods didn't work at all or as good?

Thanks!
Dave

I have a one shower in which the water pressure is so high it makes it unusable, but everywhere else in the house the water pressure is fine.
It's a closed vented system that requires 1 bar pressure which cannot be reduced, so I'm stumped as to how to reduce the pressure for this one shower.
Anyone out there have any idea's?

I have four castor bean plants and one is producing bright red spikey orbs that must be seed pods. Do I wait till first frost or should just forget about them. I live in SE Montana and people want seeds from me. I've told them to just order from a seed catalog but they want mine!!!

What should I do. I replaced my thermo coupler, and I guess I did something wrong because it's not working so great for me now. I've turned the water heater off. I'm assuming I should just get it over with and call a plumber eh?

I need to build a veranda but Stratco is very pricey even for the DIY kits. Am I better off getting a builder to build it or is their cheaper options on the market?

When I was little, at school during recess, I think in the spring.. The kids used to pick these little pea/bean pod-type plants off of these bushes. Except, instead of having two halves to the pod, like peas or string beans, they had 3 or 4. When you held them near the stem and squeezed them, the beans popped out, usually at a high rate of speed and fast enough to feel if you got hit by the beans. We used to aim them at eachother and shoot eachother with them. They were about an inch long and I think light green. We used to call them "popping beans". I have never seen anything like them since I left that school. Does anyone know of any plant like that or what it might be called?

I have a clog in my shower drain and I removed the metallic top but there's another part inside of it that is white in the shape of a cross. I believe it's the hair trapper but removing the hair didn't clear the clog. I want to get an auger that I bought in there but I have no clue how to remove this white plastic. Anyone knows how to do it?
