I haven't watered them in about 3 weeks, and strangely enough, they seem to be much happier. Can someone explain?

I live in a small town in AZ. We are dealing with the fear of snakes... They keep showing-up around the house.
Is there any way that we can stay safe & make them go away!!!
some people told me we can use fresh mint - like a spray & others said there is a kind of grease that you can use around the house from outside.
many thanks for any help.

It's a somewhat large outdoor fireplace, you know, the one with the stove top and chimney. We're cooking out tomorrow and I suck at starting fires... no logs, just planks (junk wood) and plenty of tinder and kindling. Help.

When I use a spray to kill ants it only kill a few. And the next day there are more ants on the same spot. But the label says it works for months.

There is a peculiar insect or spider inside my home (at least, I'm assuming this could be what it is as I've never actually seen it) that leaves reddish-brown marks on my walls. It will make a grouping of them, perhaps in a circle or along an uneven horizontal line. The marks are very small. Does anyone know what could be the culprit? Thanks!

I think i have had a cockroach problem for a while..but what i don't understand is....i see one at a time....then i might not see any more for months? Does this makes sense? They have tried to put traps...and my whole apartment has the gel...its been done twice...i am not even sure they are cockroaches....they just look like one...i think i saw a female american cockroach today whom had an egg sack and appeared to be pregnant...i took her to the managment and they are calling exterminator?.....i keep my house immaculate in case you are wondering....i have been told by anyone who enters my house....they have never seen a cleaner house?

I live in a city with folks next door able to see right into our windows if the curtains are left open. Ideally I would like to apply some kind of film/coating to windows that don't impact sunlight coming into a room nor the view from inside-out, but do prevent people from outside the home to see inside...similar to 2-way glass I guess?

My neighbors have two hugh Oak trees which hang over into my backyard. The leaves, believe it or not have already started to fall, and every morning my pool is covered with them. How do I get rid of these branches. My neighbors are really great but they won't get rid of the trees. Come the fall I get over 80% of the leaves. It may sound crazy but I have no trees on my property (less than a 1/4 acre) but because of their trees I bag about 50 bags of leaves a year.
I've thought about hiring someone but the cost is unbelievably high, even to just trim the branches off my property line. Should I sneak over there at night and try to weaken the tree somehow.
I'm really at a loss what to do. Thanks for your help.

All set to leave for the weekend, went downstairs to feed the cats, heard water running, went to the utility room to find the contents of the water heater all over the floor! Only bright spot is that it's below the level of the rest of the house!

No, I'm not repairing it myself. Plumbers will be here soon. I hate losing all the stuff we had stored down there, though!

ok I saw this giant "ant" and i went to smack it with a shoe and he just kept on crawling. so I smashed him again a lil harder and it didnt even phase him. on my third attempt to kill it i stepped on it as hard as i could and even twisted my foot around to make sure he was dead and the only thing i succeeded in doing was tear his butt away from the rest of his body and he just kept on crawling. It looked like reddish ant but it was huge! like 1/4 an inch long and it was like his body was super hard or something. i couldnt squash him no matter how hard i tried. what in the hell was it? i read a few things that suggested it was an ant-mimic spider but i cant find any pics or facts about the kind i saw so i don't know. anyone who is knowledgeable about bugs please help me out or suggest where i might look to find out. by the way.... I live in louisiana in case that helps at all. thanks!

Twice now we have woken up to tiny bugs in our bed. They look like poppy seeds almost and they dont really move. When you look close it looks like a tick because its kind of flat then it has the little lets to the front of the body. There hasnt been any attached to myself, my husband or the dog either times. But its is disgusting to wake up in a bed full of bugs. They are not bed bugs and we wash our sheets every week. The dog must have ran into some nest of some sort. Anyone knwo what they could be? Iv tried looking up ticks and I cant find anything.
