Tick and Mosquito Protection

For years I've protected my family from ticks and mosquitoes using a natural solution which is safe for people, pets, and wildlife.

The solution is called Mosquito Barrier and I recommend applying it with a gas-powered backpack sprayer (hand-pump sprayers generally get clogged with the solution and require stopping several times - in the midst of an application - to clean their filters).

Apply at least every three weeks and you'll be working towards mitigating the numbers of ticks and mosquitoes on your property!

Vacuuming

solution: Roomba price: $150 - 600 I know you've seen the Roomba in action by now. It's been around for years (I don't mean to offend you if you haven't, so click here to see mine in action in our kitchen ). But I'm here to tell you this: Make the investment. Do it for even a used Roomba if you like saving time, if you like clean floors, and especially if you have a pet (my wife and I have a cat). Meet "Roombie". This is the name I've given our Roomba Pro, the original floor-vacuuming iRobot creation. Now I'll tell you straight-up my Father-in-Law gave this to my wife and I, after buying it for $5.00 at a tag sale. It had a weak battery, so I purchased a new one from iRobot for about $65. So our investment was less than yours will be, but I would definitely pay at least $300 to buy a new unit, knowing what I know about how much it has helped us keep our home clean and saved me time. Part of my excitement about the Roomba has to d...

Pet Care

solution: pet door price: $10 - 100 Meet Milo. Milo is our three-year-old Domestic Shorthair (I usually call him our "cat"). While Milo looks pretty calm in that photo and spends most of his day doing this ... ... the truth with Milo is that he loves to run around. And he loves to be mischievous: Case in point: My wife and I often need to run down to the basement of our home, for laundry and house supplies. Milo, would immediately sprint down the stairs each and every time we went down there. Why? We don't really know (we think he just liked going down there because he usually couldn't, since the door was always closed). The trouble with that for us is that the door leading to our cold basement is located directly across the hallway from our thermostat, which would set off the boiler, even if the rest of the house was warm enough. This means that each cold day Milo ran down into the basement we had to chase him back upstairs or bribe him with a cat...
