they are about 2mm long and come out mid afternoon for a few hours. they seem harmless but are so numerous they make sitting in the garden impossible and invade the house if windows are open.

can they be got rid of?

We moved into this house last fall. The people who had owned it for 3 yrs did not take very good care of the yard. Late this spring we started working on bringing back the yard , planting flowers , grass and so on. One day I was edging the yard and up came a ton of earwigs. Now I am starting to find the darn things in my house! started in the Basement and now I am even finding them on the second floor! I have a pet, so I am not much into using pesticides as I fear she may ingest or inhale them somehow. Anybody know of some old fashioned tricks or non-chemical ways of ridding us of these creatures?

It is for bass, but just as important, for the beauty of the scenery. I would really appreciate tips on species of trees for shade and scenery, grass, plants, and anything to help the pond become a small haven with a very natural presentation. Lengthy answers are very welcome. Thanks

I have a Silver Queen Maple that I planted a year ago in June. After I planted it, I noticed a damaged spot on the bark. I wrapped it over the winter (like I do all my maples until they deveop a hard bark) and this spring, it budded out and blossomed just fine. Now the leaves look a bit different...the stems of the leaves are reddish and the bark on the bottom has deveoped a few large splits! I can't seem to keep trees alive back there! It is dying? Is there a way I can save it? Should I wrap the bark? Help!

The bees swarm all around the feeder and the birds can even get close to it to feed.

Seems that a dog is coming to my backyard at night and trying to dig or bury something. What can I do to keep it away?

Motion-sensor light? Anything Ultrasonic?

I didn't want to mess with anything so dug up the area, sprayed it with Round Up and filled it with river rock. It looked good the first year. Now every year I spray the weeds and watch them die. The rest of my lawn is bright green and well kept and then there is my dead weed rock bed. I pull out the dead ones and start all over with the Round Up.
WHAT else can I do with it? It looks so terrible. I don't have the money to hire anyone. My daughter and I would have to do it with some family help. Thanks for any suggestions!!

Basically, a neighbour has come round and said that they want to get tree surgeons round to cut branches off a tree in my garden. Apparently the leaves are causing a slip hazard to another of the neighbours, who is 82. They have had a quote of £250 +VAT and want me to contribute/pay in full. There's 3 main issues:
I like the trees - there's more than 1 tree anyway and how do they know it's my tree's leaves causing the problem? Should I pay anything at all? Should I be concerned about this older lady and her ability to live on her own independently - is this tree problem just the tip of the iceberg? Do I take legal advice? Do I ignore it completely? My house is currently up for sale with the sale hopefully completing in the next few weeks so I really don't need this stress! Do I have to tell my solicitor? Advice please!!

We have a little olive tree. It's about 40-50cm high, and was doing very well indoors, we moved it outside and it has slowly been dying- any advice as to what to do with it, should it still be indoors. I think it was in need of repotting- could that be the reason>
