For a long time, wiffy keeps on reminding me about fixing the faucets. But, I have this habit of doing things in later times. I am well-aware about that. So, keep her waiting until I find myself in the mood. Recently, whenever she does the laundry she wears a long face and ignores me. Not understanding her problems she got so mad at me.

My fault, I admit. I now have to rush to do what I said to her or she will hate me for months. Good thing she calm down after I helped her laundering the clothes. As we shop for our grocery, I grab the chance to buy the faucet. She picked the gorgeous Kohler faucet, which I disagree because its way beyond our budget. Plus, it doesn’t fit our old looking kitchen sink. It’s definitely a mismatch. Anyway she understands my point and opts for the most affordable one. Of course, I instantly changed the faucet after arriving home. I don’t want to be scolded again. Hehehe!

Ant Control:

• Spread some ground cinnamon where you think the ants are coming in to the house.
• Basil repels flies and mosquitoes. To deter ants, use catnip. Sprinkle it in their paths.
• Make a mixture of 2/3 cup water, 1/3 cup white vinegar, and 2-3 Tablespoons dish soap. Spray where the ants are marching.

Natural Mosquito Repellents:

• Splashing plain rubbing alcohol on yourself and allowing it to dry will deter mosquitoes from biting you.
• Rub Vick’s Vaporub® on your pants and legs to ward off ticks.
• Use half vanilla (has to be pure vanilla) and half water and for a mosquito and tick repellent.
• Dab lavender oil on your pulse points; it smells great on you but repels insects.

For Mouse Control:

• Place USED kitty litter from a litter box in small tubs in several places around the garage. Mice think… “it smells like a cat–must be a cat – I’m outta here!”.
• Buy a mesh/net laundry bag that you would use for washing nylons and 5 boxes of moth balls. Put the moth balls in the bag and hang it in your garage near the door to get rid of mice, birds, and bugs.
• To prevent mice from gaining entry to your garage, stop up any openings with steel wood pads. Mice will not chew through these!
• Sprinkle ground cayenne pepper around the garage (inside & out), and especially near entry holes. Pests don’t care for the smell of it.
• Mice hate the scent of peppermint extract. Simply sprinkle *pure* peppermint extract on the items in your garage you don’t want the mice in or on.
