Is there any sort of substance that deters them? Our kitchen floor is often infested with ants and not only is it extremely frustrating but it's also very unhygenic.

The annual cricket infestation will be here June-November, but it is worse August-October... How can I get the unpleasant managers at our apartments to exterminate before the eggs hatch? Our complex has a huge park and bright lights so there are a TON... millions! And last year some got into the apartment! I am freaked out. We have to pass by three bright lights to get into our aparment, and these huge swarms of huge crickets fly into you! It is horrible! It is seriously like a plague... Are there any poisons I can recommend? Any suggestions?

I t's over twenty years old and it doesn't stay in the groove anymore and therefore gets stuck when I try to open it. WD-40 doesn't seem to help and I've cleaned the track.

I have a backyard garden. Grow the typical tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, beans, and cukes.

My trick is to plant in rows going the same way our dog runs in the yard. That way he can run through it rather than across it. And, I have one crossways path in the middle just in case.

I was just wondering when you should have to get a new gas can... like after so many years? My gas can still looks okay but I keep hearing things about safety and the planet and I just want to stay on the safe side. When you no longer want your gas can, can you just throw it away or does it have to be recycled? Help! =)

In the past week we have killed 10 scorpions. I have a 17 month old daughter and don't want the two to mix. I don't want you simple call an exterminator answer, because I have been told that they don't do very good with scorpions (mostly just your roaches, silverfish, ants, spiders, and the such). I am using glue traps, and that helps, but I want them out all together! Some help please!
PS - No I don't have any piles of rocks or wood or any other attractants around my house. A simple yard with only 2 small flower beds.

there is a septic leach field where I want to put it. At first I wanted to level the spot with sand and lay stone pavers, the area would be about 12 X 15 feet. But now I am worried about damagin the leach field wit possibly too much weight. As an alternative I am considering making a ground level deck instead, which would look the same as the deck, but that would need to rest on concrete blocks anyway, and wherever I put the block there would be even more damaging pressure under that small area. Does anyone know what is the maximum pressure allowed on the leach field? Also, I heard that if it gets clogged, I would need to rip out the patio to get to it. Any thoughts or advice would be greately appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Problem: Gas Mileage

The problem I have is that when I take the mower to the gas station and ride back I can only mow for a few mintes because I only have enough gas to ride back to the station for more gas. I called John Deere and they don't sell a larger tank, I make sure the tires are filled up and the oil is changed to get the best mileage. I thought about putting in my truck but it's too big...it's 25 HP! Sometimes when I've over mowed I only make part way to the station before it runs out...so I have it down that I can mow for 7 minutes before I have to get more gas...it takes numerous trip just to cut my grass.

any suggestions

This is a phenomenon I've experienced in three different flats, so it's not a one off...

There is a 10cm high wooden skirting board, rather like a plank, which sits below the sink unit, cupboards etc, and rests on the floor. However in every flat I've lived in this plank isn't fixed, rather it wobbles if you brush a broom or vacuum against it, so that one end pops out and the other end goes inward. Very annoying to line it up straight again, plus it reveals all the 'crumbies' you missed last time...

My latest flat's a new build and has 'wobbly plank syndrome'! Why???

Me and my friends are renting a house in a neighborhood that enforces Housing Association rules. So far the housing association has had problems with our dying grass in the front yard and leaving Christmas lights up. I've heard these are general rules. But I've never heard of any rules about putting up aluminum foil on my windows. Its getting hot as we progress into summer. Yes, I am aware this is ghetto tint. I'm sure the rules of each association are independent but I just want to know if anyone has had their association nag them about this.
