Other - Home & Garden - October 2007

I've been spotting these nasty little bugs usually late at night, in the kitchen or in the bathroom, they are silverfish and I don't know how to get rid of them! I've killed about 5 of them in the past couple weeks but I'm having family over next weekend for my sons bday party and I don't want any of my family seeing them! I read something about putting tape around a small jar and the silverfish can climb up the jar with the tape on it but once in the jar they can't climb out bc the surface inside is smooth. I hadn't noticed any of these bugs until I started putting new wall paper up in the bathroom! I hate creepy little bugs, just thinking about them makes me itch and tingle like something crawling on me!

These equipments could have saved houses where wild fires are possible. Developers should be required to install these equipments or at least backyard fire hydrants where necessary.

I went into the kitchen to clean up the cupboards inside and out.
I have way to many dishes, glasses, and cups. (one can not have enough bowls lol)
I want to down size but not so much that I feel I need to buy more later.
So, for a household of one adult and one teen living at home what do I need to keep?
My older two sons do visit. and I do have holiday dishes that I will keep.
But 34 glasses is nuts.
Major pack rat...HELP!!!!!!

The windows in my apartment are vertical sliding and it seems that most ac's are for horizontal windows. We are only allowed to have window ac's, not portable or wall units. Does anyone know what's out there for vertical sliding windows? I've searched a little but I'm confused!

Our house was built in early 70s and my dad installed a brand new wardrobe only 2years ago. But I've been mnoticing since last summer that any clothes in there have a mouldy smell and some have mildew on them. I don't think it's a damp problem coz I had a coat dry cleaned and hung it back in its bag and lately took it out to wear and it wa sruined. Any ideas or suggestions on how to prevent this? please

On many kinds of windows, there are these little "eyelashes" for lack of a better term. They're permanent, flexible, and they insulate a small area. I think they'd work very well around my doors (I can see some daylight), but I can't just go up to the hardware store guy and say, "Hey man, got any window lashes?" Well, I could, but I'm trying not to sound like an idiot if it's at all possible. If you know what these are called, the least you'll get is a thumbs up, probably best answer status. Thanks.

I plan to make some home improvements by installing the house siding. My contractor suggested to use Royal Crest which is 0.040" under one of Royal Building Products. Is this brand name good and reliable? Is 0.040" good enough in New York City? What is the most common color for people to choose for house siding?

Thanks in advance.

OK so today i got this pond kit from Bamco? im not sure if that the brand but that might have been it. Anyways, my brother took the little "filter" thing (it was kind of a spongy material like a filter but it may not have been one) and he cut it up and now its ruined. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could buy another one of these. PLEASE HELP! This pond kit it a present for my dad, who may not be around for very much longer. The spongy "filter" was square and had a slit for a cord in it and a cube shape cut out of it in the middle. if anyone knows where i can buy another please tell me.

They are teeny tiny and not really bothering me but it's weird to see little black ants all over the kitchen counter. I just moved in to this apartment and would like to know if this is common, what caused them to show up and how easy it is to get rid of them. I live in NC and am currently pregnant and have a 3 year old son, if that helps influence anyone's answer.
