my house has an unbelievably large amount of brown recluses. does anyone know a good way to get rid of them?

2007-09-07 13:32:55 · 10 answers · asked by Anonymous

I am at my wits end! We have tried EVERYTHING! Traps, extermination, poison, blocking and filling open holes and vents, those things that you plug in and they make a low noise that only mice can hear and they hate. NOTHING works.
I hate these creatures so much. And they are everywhere.
Well one is anyway. Don't know whether there are more or its the same one each time!
Anyways anyone got ANY help or tips at all how to get rid of them?
Thanks!

I will try to make this short - we just moved into our new house 2 months ago and constructed a fence. We jumped through the correct hoops and did as the HOA (homeowner's assoc.) requires (atleast 1 ft off the sides and 10 off the back). We ended up doing 5 feet off the property line all the way around (we got permission to go further in the back).

My neighbor started putting hers up two weeks ago. I was judging by the stakes in the ground from when we moved in (a brand new developement), and her fence cleary crosses that. Should I assume those stakes at correct in showing my the property lines, or do I need to inquire and make sure.

The HOA is supposed to be taking care if this, but the fence has finished construction an nothing has happened. I and the neighbor on the other side are going through the HOA to try and cause as little trouble possible, as we aren't trying to make her angry, just keep property that I am sure is mine. Any advice is appreciated.

What would you do?

I purchase the huge copper fire cauldron from Smith & Hawken - it is a really deep pit with a rack that sits about 6 inches below the top lip and a retractable screen, I wasn't sure if the logs go on top of the rack or at the bottom of the pit, if they go at the bottom of the pit then what is the rack for - it doesn't look like something to cook on? They didn't send instructions and I couldn't find the answer online - any feedback would be great, I want to blaze tonight!!!

I would like to refinish my oak floors and I seen on tv before someone that used a propane torch and burnt the wood after they sanded. It brings out the grain. I thought it looked really nice. Trouble is I can't find anything on the net about it. I would like to know proper techniques, perhaps some company or website that does it, and i would like to see more pictures of it done. Also I don't know if it has to be a certain wood, i have solid oak. Would I also have to do my oak trim to make it look all good. Please I need more info.

I'm looking for a set of kitchen knives that come with a set of knives and the block. I was very interested in the miracle blade 3 knives set but it didn't come with the block. I have no problem getting it but only if they are a good set of knives. Also it only has 10 things of knives where I've seen a set of 20 and they're cheaper but are they good? Let me know. Also something that washes easy and doesn't rust like maybe stainless steel would be good.

I am associated with a group of people who bought land East of Portland, OR. The 50 acres are on a dirt road, with no electricity or water. Mostly for personal camping and party use, the regulations from the government are that no permanent structures can be built. There are a couple geodesic domes. One of the people has brought in a thousand gallon water tank, with the idea of filling it with snow run off and rainwater, to help water the trees (Ponderosas) that live up there. ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET, how do we keep the filled tank from freezing and bursting during the extended 0c wintertime? Burying the tank is not a option (rocky soil, no backhoe). Electricity, if needed, would be solar panel/deep cell battery. We could enclose the tank in a simple structure if needed.

I've decided to take gardening as a new hobby, but I know nothing about it. Could anyone give me tips on what "beginner" plants to grow or perhaps what materials should I use. Thanks!

In the back garden we get grey squirrels who swing upside down on the washing-line and feed out of the peanuts that are hanging in a wire cage for the birds.
As it goes dark our hedgehogs come out and they head straight for the nuts that have fallen on the ground and also eat up all the cat-food that I put out (NON-FISHY!)
I also have moles on the front lawn!
But the less said about them, the better!
