Please help me find a way to get rid of bed bugs as fast as possible
I am losing my mind. I've had bedbugs in my house for a week and nothing seems to be getting rid of them. How do I kill them? Do I just need to bite the bullet and call an exterminator? Do I need to move???? I'm pulling my hair out as we speak. Help, please!
Roaches are ruining my life. How do I get rid of them?!
I recently moved into a new apartment and discovered there are roaches. We're pretty good about keeping tidy but we've gone into clean overdrive since discovering the roaches. But I'm not sure it's working. We see at least a few a week. We are pretty quick to spray them and have set traps up for them. At what point do I call a pro? What else can I do myself?
How to check for potential bed bug infestation in my house?
I truly, deeply hate to say it...but I'm afriad that I have bed bugs. I haven't found a beg bug YET, but I've been waking up itchy all week. I'm concerned there could be an infestation because I've heard if there's one there's usually many. How do I check for bed bugs? More importantly, what do I do?? Thank you so much!
How do I get rid of fleas for good?
I'm mortified to be here asking this but I'm desperate at this point: I have fleas in my house and I dont' know how to get rid of them. They seem to really like my dog (mostly indoor dog but we use flea and tick meds) and the couch. I wouldn't say it's an infestation just yet, but it's been like this for months and nothing I do is keeping them away! What should I do/what am I doing wrong?

How do I clean my stainless steel pan properly?
I don't even remember what I was cooking in this pan, but now there's a lot of burnt marks that I can't get off. I've put in so much elbow grease trying to scrub it with soapy water and it's not working at all. Any cleaning gurus have advice on what I should try next? All advice is welcome please!
How do you get rid of gnats in your house?
UGH! I've had it with all these pesky gnats flying around my home and I don't want to deal with them anymore. I feel like as soon as I squash one, I find a few more around the house and on my plants. Is there any way to get rid of them once and for all? I'd love to stick to easy natural methods, but I'm not afraid to try stronger chemicals if I have to.
How can I unscrew a stripped screw?
Hey there, friends. I’m not the handiest on the planet and I’ve got to undo this plank in my home that covers a threshold. The problem is the screws are all stripped like nobody’s business. I don’t really know how to get them out, so I’m turning to you fine folks. How can I get stripped screws out of wood?
How do I safely kill mold?
I think I found some mold in my bathroom recently and am a little worried. I know mold isn't good and stuff like black mold can be pretty dangerous, but I'm really not sure how to tell the difference. Either way, I want it gone sooner than later. Is there anything I can do by myself to clean it up and prevent it from coming back? I'd really love to save some money doing this DIY, but how do I know when it's time to contact a professional?
