Other - Home & Garden - February 2007

We live in a tropical climate and we have those teeny sugar ants year-round. I have two cats and a toddler, so chemical sprays or poisons are right out. We've tried the bait traps, but the ants don't seem to notice them. We called an exterminator, but he wanted to spray poison all over the house. I've tried to eliminate everything they would be attracted to, but they still keep coming in. I even bought a $100 sealed trash bin and put all my cereals, sugar, pasta, etc. in airtight containers. I keep the house very clean, but the ants are everywhere. I've even noticed them marching around in the bathrooms and the laundry room-- places where there is absolutely nothing edible. What do I do?

It is needed to store and protect a full size futon mattress. I need both the protection and size reduction a space bag or pak bag offers. I saw such a product made in China for ordering in bulk by other companies but could find no other connection.

I have 2 propane tanks that hold 80 lbs each and said to hold 375 letres each of propane. Yesterday I had them filled by my propane supplier. The tanks had 33 and 34 lbs in them before fill up. After fill up the tanks showed over the 80 lbs and I was charged for 485.6ltrs. In Dec. I had 31 and 35 lbs before fill-up and was charged for 448ltrs. Yesterdays fill-up is an additional 37.6 ltrs when I had 1 lb. more in the tanks. I called the company and they said this was due to the cold weather they could get more Propane in the tanks. Does this sound out of whack? With what a tank holds, I figure a lb of propane should equal 4.687ltrs and maybe a slight adjustment for the cold. On their ticket is says correction 17 degrees. Therefore, I feel overcharged for about 40 ltrs. Am I wrong?

My insurance states that only the contents are covered, but my friend reckons that she will get a payout if her shed is demolished in a storm. Does anyone else have this covered on their insurance, if so, who are you insured with??

Details:

I am able to keep my own room very neat. It's every other room that is a mess.

I want to tidy up the 'store' rooms, where everyone's 'everyday' stuff is kept.

But I can't - because I don't have permission to move everyone else's stuff.

F.y.i. it's not a simple mess. It would take a strong man a few hours to cut through the mess.

Thanks.
