My parents live in a century home that has a root cellar (dirt floor & all) instead of a basement. Recently, their cats have begun to urinate in the basement. (The cats are healthy and have never used a litter box, so please don't post answers regarding that) My question is how do we eradicate the urine smell in the root cellar? It's nearly impossible to locate the area where the cats are urinating, and if/when we do, how do we go about cleaning it so it doesn't reek? It's beginning to make the entire house smell bad.

...Especially in the southeastern US?

By "old", I guess I mean built before the 1960s.

I went away for 2 days - no food out, no dirty dishes in the sink, no trash in the trash can. I returned to a kitchen full of houseflies -- dozens! How do you get rid of them?

They appear to be eating the wood banister because we keep seeing saw dust appear each time we clean it. What is this and can we get rid of it?

I'd rather not call anyone to have them out, they will just haunt me. So, my home was built in the 1930's. It is 2,008 sq. ft. and has an old heating system (wish I knew what it was called), but my vents are very random (just small squares out of the walls, not floor) and some rooms don't even have heat vents. So what would I be looking at? Thanks for any help, just wanted an idea. :)

i am very allergic to insect bites, especially mosquitos. awhile back i got a catalog that was selling a safari type hat that was screened and attached to screen like material pants to protect you from the insects, now i can't find them anywhere and can't remember the catalog name, any help would be greatly appreciated :) i love to grill on my deck but it's not very safe due to all the insects flying around, i don't want to end up in the emergency room again looking like a blow fish...lol.

thanks!

It's in my bedroom. Should I have it facing my bed to blow air on me or facing out the doorway so it blows the hot air out? The air conditioner (which isn't doing a great job either!) is in the living room.

I have a large pond with no fish in it and there's always gross things growing floating. I heard that if you put certain fish in it, they'll eat this stuff and help keep it clean.

Anyone know if there's any truth to this? If so, what kind of fish should I put in it? I heard small mouth bass.

Besides, or in addition to, buying expensive home protection systems, what kind of things are legal inside your home to trip up/capture/ intruders. Are there non-lethal booby-traps that are legal?

I live in Florida and saw a roach "Palmetto bug" on my kitchen floor for the first time and am ready to blow the place up. It was huge. Consider I have a Maltese dog too and don't want to harm her in the process of waging WW3 on these bugs. Could it have been just a stray? Or is there more? Like I said lived in the house for 5 years and this is the first one I have ever seen. Help!

I have a house ant problem. Yesterday, I came home and found that a burger had apparently fallen out of my freezer when I opened it last--and it was covered in hundreds of ants! Through the use of Fantastik! and cleaning the kitchen really well, there's much fewer now. . . but how to get rid of them without hurting my cat? Many of the remedies I've seen say you have to find the source--this is not an option. There is no window in this room. I just want to get rid of the little buggers. Advice? Thanks.
