I live on the edge of a developed area, overlooking fields and cows etc.
For some time now, I have noticed a fair number of woodlice wandering about in the house. I don't have a woodpile just outside or anything like that.
I vacuum every day. I have a cat, but she is mainly a house cat.
I came in from work at 02.00 and there were 5 of the creatures wandering about in the hall.
What, if anything, can I do???
Thank-you.

I am literally living in one of the poorest neighborhoods. I have no kitchen cabinets b/c I couldn't afford a more expensve apartment. I am living on a very limited budget and cannot afford to buy cabinets. Freecycle Poster had metal cabinets to offer but refused to let me p/u because I wanted to use them in my kitchen, said they belong in basement or garage because she felt they weren't asthetically pleasing enough.She simply refused to let me make my own mind up. This is on freecycle where we're supposed to be keeping things out of the landfill. I have had to live with aesthetically unpleasant furniture, cabinets, etc. before. I knew what I was getting yet she insisting on making the decision on whether or not it was worth it to me - someone several levels beneath her tax bracket - to pick up these cabinets.

I need a fridge or fridge/freezer that can be kept in a garage and/or a cold kitchen. Most fridge/freezers seem to only operate between 10 - 30 degrees and stop working in cold conditions.
Can you help me track one down?

So my condo neighbors are smokers and the smell has started to recently drift into my spare room, bathroom and kitchen. How do I get rid of the smell? Febreeze only makes it smell like flowers and cigarettes. How can I politely tell them my problem? We've never talked. I would hate to bring it to the condo board and have them involved.

You use old handkerchiefs and paint the button for the face.

I live out in the country so I can't do anything about them running wild, as there is no law about that. I tried putting rocks in the bottom of the can, but this is a BIG dog! The dog knocks over the can and scatters my trash all over the road and the yard! I am so tired of cleaning up after someone else's dog getting in my trash!

I'm trying to sell my home in Massachusetts. I'm looking for as many ways as possible to advertise it without involving a realtor. If anyone knows the best and least expensive way to accomplish this, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

When I boot up my Dell PC, and the monitor kicks on, it pops an annoying "Resolution Notifier Optimal Resolution is 1280 x 1024" message. Every time I boot up. Is there a way to disable this message when restarting the PC?
Otherwise, I just have to tap the SELECT button each time, and it would be nice to find a way to disable this message.

Any ideas?

I have s strange toilet, and I'd appreciate some help.

When it's used for, ah, #1, the toilet will flush normally for the most part (since it's a problematice toilet, we avoid using it for #2). Anyhow.... after being used a few time, the bowl will fill with water and then more slowly drain, until eventually you get to the point that you flush, the bowl fills with water, and then sits. The tank completely refills, and you can listen and hear the slow drain of the bowl, until it eventually empties into an empty bowl (maybe about 10 minutes later.)

I've taken a plunger to this tank multiple times, and it's always the same: following the plunger, it works normally, then gradually, after more successive flushes, it goes back to the slow drain again.

I also tried taking a snake and working this down the toilet, trying to clear any blockage or anything substantial, but nothing. Same system. A normal flush and then gradually the flushes get weaker and weaker.

Any thoughts or ideas?

I have a new dishwasher, and keep it clean. To make it worth while to put dishwasher on, you have to fill it up. Sometimes it can take more than a day. Now if I have to clean the plates properly, I might as well hand wash them. The problem I have is, I was off the excess food so you can see it still needs a good wash, and I have a big problem with cockroaches now breeding in my dishwasher, obviously eating off the little bit they can get from the plates. What do I do? How do I get rid of them, without poisoning ourselves?

Just out of curiosity.
