Need Some Help With Ant Problems In Your Home?

The weather is getting warmer here in Philadelphia and I noticed that one day recently - actually a few days ago - I noticed ants in my kitchen! So I was looking online for articles about how to get rid of ants in your kitchen and I found a great online blog post with comments from others who have various solutions.

Some of their solutions involve chemicals but some of them have more natural solutions and I'm definitely going to try some of them!

Since I work from home I HATE any kind of distractions or things going wrong!

I hope this blog post helps you because I surely hope that it will help me!

How To Get Rid Of Ants


Without Calling An Exterminator

Seeing How The Other Half Lives?

While I absolutely LOVE where I live and wouldn't trade it for a million dollars, I also like to look at the home of the rich and famous. I found a blog that posts picture of luxurious real estate - and they are luxurious-looking!

I always like to see homes like these and I was a frequent watcher of "The Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous".

Like I said before some of these homes are absolutely gorgeous!

Who knows? I may purchase one as my 2nd Home!

Here Is An Interesting Link.....

Found another one of those interesting articles on the Internet. This one lists 25 things that (in their opinion) will not be here much longer!

25 Things Vanishing From America

I won't give away everything that is on the list but there are a few things that I don't necessarily agree with.

Probably the most important one is that I LOVE my VCR and don't know what they could possibly have to replace it!

Even though there are millions of email being sent every day I still like to believe that there are still people out there that still do handwritten letters. I haven't done them myself in quite awhile but that doesn't mean that I am never going to!

So take a look at the list and let me know your thoughts!

Man Burns Down House Trying To Get Rid Of Bees!

I'm having this trouble with bees crawling around a certain bedroom window. I can't figure out how they are getting in! The window in this bedroom has a window air conditioner in it and I'm guessing that they are getting in through the (small!) open spaces around it.

While I was looking online for some information that would help me get rid of them I found this article about a man who accidently burnt his house down while trying to get rid of them. I also found some very interesting links relating to other people and how they are having the same kind of trouble - some even more worse than me!

• How To Get Bees Out Of House

10/15/07 Update - Well I found out that the bees seem to be getting inside the window between the top and bottom window panes (is that the right word?). You see there is an air conditioner in that window which means that the bottom window had to be pushed up in order to get the air conditioner in the window. Now the bees seem to be coming in between the top window and bottom window. Now there is some insulation foam in the window but it seems that the bees are pushing through it. It looks like the insulation foam has deteriorated some and the bees are getting in through it. I put some more foam-like material to close the gap and now I have to see how well that works.

Update - Saturday, October 27, 2007 - Well it looks like they are getting in some other kind of way via that area. I had a chance to do some observing and it kind of looks like they are coming from the bottom of the radiator area (the radiator that sits under the window). I could have sworn that I heard them "pushing" through something but that could just be my over-active imagination. I know not to shine a flashlight in the area because I read online that that isn't good. So I still have to wait and see where they are coming from and the sooner the better!

I Know That I'm Going To Love This Blog!

A Frugal Living Blog by a Frugal Guy! - I knew that I was going to like this blog when I saw the most latest post which was about "leaky faucets"! Oh boy can I identify with that!

I liked the blog so much that I went back in the archives so that I could start reading the blog posts from the very beginning. It turns out that the author was going through a tough time and I could so relate to that!

Even though at first I thought that I don't want to live frugally - I want to live regally - and didn't want to read a blog about frugal liveing I then thought about it some more. You can live frugally but still enjoy the living!

Home Inspector Nightmares!

Here's an interesting article that I found about "Home Inspector Nightmares". I know that people try to get away with a lot when they are trying to sell their homes but it made me think about all the things that we homeowners do to "temporarily" fix some problems. Goodness knows that there are some "shortcut" repairs that I have in my house that I wouldn't want anybody to see - LOL!
