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!
Easiest methods to remove static from clothes?
I've heard dryer sheets aren't good for your clothes and I never liked using them in the first place, but gosh my clothes are just so staticky lately. I hate that feeling of how they stick to me and it's making my outfits look a bit awkward too. I'm just not sure what else to do. Please tell me there's an easy solution, I'm getting pretty desperate.
How do I unshrink clothes I accidentally shrunk?
Asking for a friend here....I accidentally put one of my favorite shirts through the dryer when it's supposed to air-dry, and it totally shrunk. I'd really love to wear it again, but it just doesn't fit right anymore. Do I have to give this shirt up and get a new one, or is there some way I can unshrink it again without it looking weird?
Mushrooms are taking over my yard! How do I get rid of them?
Hello all! To make a long story short, it rained heavily last week and I noticed a few white mushrooms in my yard. I didn’t think anything of it, really. I picked them with a plastic bag, threw them out, and went to bed. I woke up the next day and there were like…hundreds of mushrooms. I’m not kidding. It was nuts. I don’t really have anything against the mushrooms per se, but I have dogs and I worry about them eating the mushrooms if they’re poisonous. That’s also why I’d really prefer not to use fungicide. Can anyone explain why I suddenly have hundreds of mushrooms in my yard? Is there any way to get rid of them naturally without pouring chemicals all over my lawn?
How to get rid of weed smell from a room?
I smoke marijuana to help with sleep but my parents are coming to visit next week. They’d probably be cool with it, but I just don’t feel like answering their questions or dealing with it, ya know? I thought I did a good job getting rid of the smell by opening the windows for a few days, but two of my friends commented that they can still smell the weed. Does anyone have any hacks here? I really want to get rid of the smell of weed in my room and car before they show up.
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!
best way to clean glasses and keep them clean?
I’m new to team eyeglasses. What I’ve quickly learned is that I’m absolutely terrible at keeping the lenses clean. I just don’t get it, I don’t even feel like I’m touching my lenses that often but they get smudged up multiple times a day. It’s so irritating. What's the best way to clean them and what can I do so that the smudges and smears don’t show back up after I clean them off?
How do you stretch shoes without damaging them?
My wife bought me these shoes when she was on vacation and she really likes the way they look on me. The problem is that they’re like half a size too small. I can’t actually tell if it’s a length or a width thing, to be honest. In any case, I can’t go back to where she bought them in Costa Rica to exchange them for a better fit, so I’ve resorted to trying to stretch them out. Any tips here? I think the shoes are leather, but they could be some kind of synthetic material, I’m not sure.
Help! What's the best way to get rid of ants?
I’m going nuts here. Every morning I wake up and find dozens of ants wandering around in my kitchen and living room. It doesn’t seem to matter how many traps I set out or how deep I clean my home to get rid of food scraps or whatever the ants seem to be after. Does sugar water get rid of ants? I feel like I heard something like that somewhere but I have no clue if any of that stuff actually works. What will actually solve this problem? I don’t even hate ants like that, but leave my living space alone, ya know?
