I have a question:
There are lots of spiders in my basement, will they come upstairs or will they just stay where they are? I don't use the basement often so I don't care if they stay there.
Answer:
This is a difficult one, spiders will attempt to live wherever they can according to their species. They are almost always beneficial and most horror stories about hem are just that, stories.
The kindest and most effective way to stop them living in your house is to prevent them making webs or burrows. Take away their habitat and they will go somewhere else. Isn't that great?
No nasty chemicals and you've got rid of the pest. If you can live with them, then do so. If you can't, spray the areas where they make cobwebs with a citrus based cleaning solution. This is thought to prevent thyem attaching their webs so they just go away.

Termite Contract:
Question:
I have recently bought a house which had termites, the original owners said that I need to get an Annual inspection every year even though they had it treated 3 years ago. Do I need to have this?
Answer:
I strongly disagree with those contracts. They should stand by the treatment.
We don't charge for our guarantee. You will have to read the original contract. It usually makes you buy a guarantee.
It's a part of the revenue source for that type of company.

My dogs pee on my lawn
I have a question:
My dogs pee on the lawn and I am getting brown patches in several places. I let them go out on their own in the yard so I have no control of where he goes. I have one male and one female.
Answer:
The quickest answer to give is to train your dog to go somewhere else. That's easier to say than to do.
The cheapest and often most effective way to reduce and stop the stains is to apply a heavy watering to the area. This dilutes the nitrogen that's contained in the dogt urine. If this doesn't work one of the local hardware stroes should be able to supply you with a neutralizing product. It's best to try water and retraining first.
Female dogs usually get the blame, but it's more to do with the way they urinate (squatting) than their sex. The stain causing nitrogen is the same in both sexes.
