mine was leaking and i got a guy from the company to fix it, he asked what brand of tablets i use and he advised not to use the cheaper ones because they can damage the machine

he advises either Sun or Finish, but he kept repeating that, almost as if he was getting paid to say it!!!


is it true?

I am moving into an old farmhouse that has been vacant for a year. I have not yet moved in, but I can see the wasps in the house and flying around by the roof. I cant see any nests, so I am assuming they are getting in the cracks in the wood. The house is two stories high, so getting up there with a ladder and shooting blindly is not really an option. I know that the first frost will kill em, but from what I understand, the queen just lies dormant until spring. I am wondering if setting off a few bombs in the attic will get them. Will the bomb poison reach them from the attic if the bombs are placed near where I am seeing them go in and out from the outside? Any other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Just bought the house and don't have the hundreds available for an exterminator

I am talking about any containers that open with a 'pinch and twist' action. I am sure that many people with weak hands and wrists would be pleased to find a solution to this problem.

there are no feeders for rats in my district...only mouse feeders (which are much too small in size) .
i don't want the cats or mongoose to get a hold of the poison.
the rats are numerous and the traps and zappers are not working...... they are too smart for those killers so i must try baiting them.
any other ideas ?

I admit I have inherited my mother's trait so to speak, I am a pack rat. I have so many boxes in my home still unpacked since I moved in 2 yrs agp in my apartment. My closet is soo packed that you you literaly are standing on junk just to get into it. The rest of the apartment is clean but unless you open up cabinets or drawers, everything is crammed in them. I have 3 kids and me and my husband living in a 2 bedroom apt so I think maybe that is one reason why we have too much junk with too little space to work with. Are there any websites to help with disorganization? Any suggestions?

We had a small electrical fire at my house last night. An outdoor outlet became filled with water, short-circuited, and burned. I was never in contact with the outlet while it was on fire, yet the trace fumes I inhaled while removing it gave me a horrible headache; then I got dizzy and weak and felt really high for a few hours. This morning, I have a "hangover", still have a headache, and I feel very "fuzzy" and "out-of-it". Is it really possible that I damaged myself in some way from such a tiny exposure? It seems to me that it shouldn't be possible, but I still really feel like sh*t.

Yesterday I asked this question but I didn't include some facts. It is a uniform tie dark blue made of 55% polyester and 45% wool. I know they have to be dry cleaned but that doesn't always get those white sweat stains out. I thought about using scotchguard to repel the sweat. Any suggestions on that and a way to pre treat it before bringing it to the dry cleaner. Thanks.
