I seem to have some hornets in my bedroom and I am not sure how they got in there. When they get in, they seem to fly towards the single bedroom window and they don't go anywhere else. I believe my mother sprayed some flea and tick spray around some open places (cracks, openings, etc) and I'm not sure if that is helping much, there is a graveyard of bees at the base of the window in the bedroom which means something is killing them after they get in. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to control this? We currently have an out-of-control hornets nest out front of our house i will be spraying this evening. Is there anything I should look out for? Thanks :-)

since i saw a house centipede in my apartment a couple days ago, i've been obsessively spraying the insecticide Raid everywhere. But just now i saw one come out of the wall and crawl across my room. I killed it, but there are probably tons more and i need to get rid of these things! please help!

I can't find a hive, I don't know what kind of honeybee they are, I live in So. Calif in a beach community, pest control hasn't helped, kits at the hardware stores only catch other types of bees like wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets.

I live in the northeast, so I don't want to be cleaning up corn husk and frozen pumpkins in the cold of November.

I only just defrosted it and already there are long strands of frost coming from the top of it, and it feels damp. It is causing problems because eventually the freezer door won't close which in turn stops the fridge door from closing.

We just moved into a new house and they left the pool uncared for. It is flourescent green. The season is over and we want to close the pool but we know we have to clean it first. What do we do? We are going to head over to a pool store tomorrow but I just wanted to get a heads up.

should you be quiet and silent, hide in the closet, make noise to scare them....??? last night i heard very scary noises like someone was in the house and then my alarm system went off. i think it went off because of the bad weather but if there ever is a burglar what do you do?

About a week ago a spot in my yard began to get soft and sink. It's spreading and getting deeper! The water line isn't anywhere near there and our bill isn't sky high, so it's not that. It could be the sewer line, cuz it's pretty aligned...but if it's NOT THE SEWER, WHAT ELSE COULD CAUSE IT? We don't live near a big body of water...or cliff. It's Ohio...

I'm ready to put window blinds up, but I see cracks around almost every window. So I'm hesitating and am thinking whether or not I should have the cracks fixed before hanging up the blinds. Thank you for any and all inputs!

I guess they got a disease or something (definitely have black spots and are now just turning brown and becoming twigs!). ...oh and 4 my geraniums should i spray a regular liquid soap and water mix on them to get rid of whiteflies..i think they're whiteflies..the soap won't harm them? How much do i use and how often?

Alright so this is kind of disgusting but yeah lately there have been these small black worm/snake creatures in my sink and I didnt know where they were comming from but then I realized theres this drain thing right on top (at least thats what I assume it is because when you fill up the sink I imagine thats what that little hole is for?) but yeah anyway I poured water into that hole and tons of those things came out so I dont think that hole is a drainage thing.. unless its clogged. so 2 questions. 1 what is that hole for, and two what are the snake things and how are they forming?

Is there a general rule of thumb as to how far back a fence has to be from the property line?
When installing a fence, do you normally tell the neighboring property owners that the fence is set back?

Thanks for looking and helping!

I went by a store and the guy there said there are 3 different kinds, a catchers, regular and first base. Ryan plays first base but is this guy trying to jerk me around? I never heard of a first basemans mitt being different. Catcher yes, first base no

I don't have poison Ivy in the Yard. The previous owners planted the ground cover Ivy and it is growing up the side of my house. I suffer from a lung disorder so I can't keep up with the growth.
