they are really bad when it comes to eating our turf which leaves one of our holes looking pretty ugly. obviously there is a man made lake next to the hole. we've tried simple techniques such as putting up a fake owl or a fake gator as well as even feeding them so they dont feed on our turf. any advice for us?(keep in mind all advice must meet california regulations especially with repellents.) thank you

I'm planning on starting a business making homemade stuff. First I will only be making candles, but would eventually like to include jellies, jams, and maybe some other home decor items. I would like a name that is at least somewhat original and easy to remember. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

After your feet have been outside in parking lots which have chewed gum, and many other similar things, so why is carpeting commonly used even though it remains unwashed for quite some time and it is often laid on or slept on when a bare floor which could be cleaned with cleaners and water much more frequently?

I buy ahead so that I never run out of things needed around the house. I always store these things at room temp in a dry place , I've been doing this for years and have never had a problem till recently. It seems that a good amount of the time I go to get a product out and all the propellant has disappeared leaving me with a can of stuff I can't use. This happens to multiple products....and it's driving me crazy...is their a way to "fix" them again so they are usable or should I just start saving my store receipts ?

I was wondering about it. Not to mention that I'm really scared and want to move out. I was washing these dishes from the closet where I had found the other two. I opened the drawer and there was another one. This one I saw closer and I sprayed it to death. It has a light brown round body with white/tannish circles around it. It's almost 2 a.m. I hope someone's up that know's!!! The region here is San Antonio, Texas.

The neighbors dog comes into our yard to poop. Usually right infront of my daughters swing set and it actually jumped our patio fence and came all the way into our house through doggie doors.
We informed the owner and she just says that the dog annoys her and she wants to get rid of it but hasnt and still lets the dog roam free around the town.
We want to stay civil since we live next door to each other but im tired of cleaning poo off my shoe everytime I walk through our back yard.

We talked the town cop and he says he can not do anything about it inless he catches the dog off the property.

Our area of town does not allow privacy fences to be built and the dog can jump over anything 3 feet tall.

We put up an electric wire around the patio for the winter so he would not jump over and enter our house but for safety reasons we removed it when summer came. (We have a 3 year old)

How do we keep this dog off our property? Without hurting the dog or making enemies.

My room is really blisteringly hot right now, and I can't turn up the A/C or open a window. I've already got one fan going, is there any way to quickly cool off the room? Maybe something using ice? I've gotten so desperate I have a frozen bottle of water in front of the fan in a futile attempt to cool things off in here.

I have a wooden post fence like this I==I==I==I==I in my front yard.I dont like it much and i want to cut it up and burn it as firewood (outdoors) in my new firepit. My one friend tells me it may be treated wood and the smoke may be harmfull. How can i tell. The fence is very old and is splitting alot. its almost that old grey wooden color.. If it was treated, is it possible it has worn out enough to burn?.. Although i dont think it is, how do i tell

I noticed recently that I have small blackish ants entering my upstairs bedroom window... They are staying near the window area. My mom seems to think they are coming in because its getting warm outside. I am looking to have an exterminator come and evaluate the situation, how much would that cost usually?

i live in a basement apt. and the ants are in full force already. I've been killing every ant i see. then i learned that if you leave a dead ant, they will come and take the body to eat. so now every time i see an ant i pick it up with my hands and drop it into liquid wax. immediately their bodies boil and pop and bubble. it's satisfying but it's not helping. they are attacking me while i sleep. today i have all these bug bites on me and i know the only bug i've been in contact with recently are ants. i didn't know they big and it leaves a bite that itches. so now i'm mad and i want to inflict as much harm and torture to their colony as possible. i don't want them to just leave and not come back, i want every ant that ever stepped foot into my house to die a horrible slow death. any suggestions?

The flowers of my sunrise cactus have been progressively shriveling up and dying. I'm not watering it daily, I know it doesn't need alot of it. It is in my window but the sun has not been beaming on it at all. It was recently transported from one city to another and it looked horrible for a while but got better and now this is happening. Just wanted to know if there was something I could do to keep it from dying.

I've got dafodils, and glads, and expect to dig them after they're done blooming and die back, and then replant them ???in the fall?
I guess I'm asking how you prepare them for an indeterminate storage time...like the stores that sell them do. Thanks

Oh my goodness gracious!!! My husband got his acceptance letter for BYU-Idaho on Monday. But instead of starting this fall, and giving me plenty of time to pack, he starts on April 16th!!!!!! We are supposed to move into student housing on April 13th!!!! That gives me just three weeks to get everything ready to go!

Oh, I feel just a bit overwhelmed.

Now, I need help please. Where in Salt Lake City are good places to get larger boxes for free?

And any tips on how to organize myself for all this mad dash packing?

And can I tell you how glad I am I'm not pregnant yet? My husband and I had been hoping we would be expecting our third by now, but oh, the Lord knows what he is doing and I am so grateful he decided I should wait a bit longer!!! LOL
