If so, are they 'safe' to use on a wooden deck? Any suggestions on buying one, based on what you already know about yours?

Every year about this time my house is over run with ladybugs. Does anyone know of anything that will repel them?
I don't really want to kill them, just make them move on to somewhere else.

At work we have a miniture palm tree that consists of 3 seperate trees. Two of the look great and are very firm through the trunk, the third one has lost all of its palms. It is still firm towards the base of the trunk but the upper half feels softer to the touch in comparison and squishy in parts. Is the tree still alive or is it savable? Or do I just need to remove the third tree?

I have bought a chemical to pour down the drain but I hate to use that. They are really bad in our basement, but they are in the rooms upstairs, too. If you have had them, please, please tell me what to do. Thanks.

I always get nervous when I turn on switches while doing the dishes. But I do it anyway. Still I wonder if I could be electrocuted. My house is only 2 years old, so do newer outlets allow for a little water?

We have rats in our attic. I've tried glue traps in a variety of places and different setups; I've also tried poison, but they still seem to be having a party in our walls and above our ceiling at night.

I have a 3 foot lemon tree, given as a christmas present last year. After leaving it inside over the winter - all the leaves dropped off and the tree trunk bent over (Heat and lack of light i think).

We then placed it outside in the spring, currently the leaves have came back and it has even started to flower heavly. As it is getting colder I am concerned about bringing it in and all the flowers and leaves dropping off again..

Any advice in looking after it, including applying citrus plant food would be appreciated.
