Be sure the bottle fresh. <br /><br />Also Bay Leaves, again frexh bottle, kills weevils, and even stops ants in their tracks. I learned this overseas in Morocco where weevils were prolific and persistant.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-30808478694860793282011-08-29T12:39:17.284-05:002011-08-29T12:39:17.284-05:00Some good hints here!

I Googled and found a recipe that used hydrogen peroxide and a few other household ingredients (wish I could remember what!) The wine came out completely--not even the faintest hint of where it was.<br /><br /> Alas, there is another stain on the rug that has defied every cleaning product we and the professionals have tried.<br /><br />Cat vomit is forever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-62236266478368412602011-08-26T09:31:59.537-05:002011-08-26T09:31:59.537-05:00Thanks for the tip about the Epsom Salts!

We keep learning!!!!!! Right???<br /><br />I had never heard of using Hydrogen Peroxide for stain removal. How neat!!!! I will remember that.<br /><br />No problem with fleas here since we don't have any pets right now. But--hubby has a problem with chiggers when working outside. What is your best choice of keeping bug bites from itching? George uses vinegar--and it is okay, but doesn't seem as good now as it used to be.<br /><br />Great idea for cabbage. You are just so smart.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-13280956267558231682011-08-26T08:27:51.674-05:002011-08-26T08:27:51.674-05:00INTERESTING post not in the usual way. All blogger...INTERESTING post not in the usual way. All blogger shows me are the photos. But when I get ready to comment and click "Show Original Post thetext appears.<br /><br />That's blogger for you....<br /><br />We've had a major flea problem too. With a larger dog, my options were more expensive. But I will tell my groomer your home made solution, but hope my dog doesn't drink the wash water; I would have a major different problem.<br /><br />We paid an exterminator in the spring blanket spray the yard, and carefully treat indoors. Luckie will lick anything she perceives might be food or a treat.<br /><br />In July she went or her grooming and I was told she was COVERED W/fleas. I switched from Frontline Plus to a once a month tablet. THen we did our own flea treatment. I cannot stand "bombs" with my COPD/Asthma.<br /><br />A friend with similar maladies had discovered RAID RUG AND CARPET TREATMENT FOR FLEAS Spray which had little odor. I personally donned a mask and blanket sprayed the entire house: carpets, vinly upsholstery, bedding, comforter on bed and even front deck.Took 4.5 cans at $7.17 a piece WM.<br /> <br />We left the house (all fans & AC off) for 30 minutes. Amazingly there was only a very faint odor.<br /><br />Husband spread and watered in some kind of granulated mix in the backyard. I have blanket sprayed with a multipurpose spray about a third of the distance from front of house to street and not through yet. Still too hot to do much for me outdoors.<br /><br />What we endure for our pets!NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.com
