I have a tree rat that comes on my porch quite regularly - I call him Frankie. Frankie doesn't bother me, but he sure bothers the dog! He likes to climb inside my BBQ grill (especially in inclement weather.) Since we have a lot of cats and other animals that wander around the complex, I really don't want to use poison, for fear of poisoning something that's not a rat. How can I convince them to go somewhere else?

My family and I live in a manufactured home which is really nice and larger that the last stick built house we had. We were able to get more value for our dollars.
Our last stick built house was a 3 bedroom 2 bath 1400 sq foot home.
Our manufactured home is a 4 bedroom 3 bath 2200 sq foot home. We live in a nice gated community that has several amenities which we use.
So why is that when we tell people that we live in a manufactured home they assume it is a mobile home and that we live in a trashy trail park?
I do understand were the idea of white trash and trailer parks comes from. I have seen some and I know they exist.
But come on we have a beautiful home with many amenities we could not have been able to afford in a stick built home.
And before you start calling me and my family white trash have you looked at a manufactured home lately? They are beautiful and have many options.
So why do people look down at us? At least until they see our home.
Thanks

I have several holes on my property. The are all exactly alike: 2-l/2 ft. deep, 1 foot in circumference. They just appeared this year, and I can't get anyone out to tell me what it is. It's not an animal because there is no dirt or grass scattered around.

A countertop dishwasher uses I think some 5 gal of water but only does 4 place settings.. I'm wondering if it would be worth the expense.. We live in a small 12x60 mobile home and a full size one will not fit in here.

what are some better brands or are they all the same?

I love it. I like it in winter because I feel cosy gathering into the home earlier in the evenings and Christmas is coming. I like it in Spring because with lighter evenings you get out more and summer is on the way. Anyone else????

I am thinking of planting a row of Kousa Dogwood trees along my property. I live in zone 6. I was just wondering if you are happy with your tree. Does it bloom well? How does it look in the fall? And most important, Does the fruit make a big mess? Also do birds and animals eat the fruit? I was considering Milky Way Select. Do you recommend another variety? Why? Thank you for all of your help!

I am trying to conserve gas this winter and would like to know, from someone who actually knows, how cold I can keep my house with any damage occuring to it. I know it has to be above 32 degrees F so that the pipes do not freeze, but does it have to be higher for other things I may not be thinking about? I have it at 55 right now, but we haven't seen a frost here yet...

I just saw a mouse run across my kitchen floor and I know that if there is one there will be another.

So I would like to know based on your exerience, what is the best rat poison on the market.

I have one problem however we have a toy poodle and I wouldnt want her eating the posion ( but I am pretty sure I can figure out a way to prevent that).

I really dont care about the humane way fo doing this. I just want them dead as fast as possible.

I have a woodstove and the flu pipe make a right angle to go out of the house and another right angle to the stainless steel chimney.
I cant get the draft going for the first 5 minutes no matter what I try. Smoke just fills the house, coming out the air intake and door until the heat convection starts working, then it's fine all day. Is there any technique or device that will make starting a fire less smokey? My old house had a straight flu and chimney and there was never a problem.

i own a house built in the late 1890's and am curious as to what kind of stove pipe, or posibly chimney, would have been used when the house was first built, and would there have been a kitchen, or would they have cooked on the stove?
