Bait Stations for Rats only work if you’re actually using them right, and honestly most people aren’t. Here’s what goes wrong, and how to fix it before you waste more time (and money) on a problem that isn’t getting better. Placing Bait Stations in the Wrong Spots Okay so this is the big one, and I see it constantly. People put bait stations wherever’s easy for them — middle of the garage, open floor space, whatever. Rats don’t work that way though. They hug walls. They move in shadows, along edges, through tight gaps where they feel hidden. A station sitting out in open space? Rats will just... avoid it. Put it against walls instead, near entry points, behind the fridge, wherever they’re actually traveling. Your convenience doesn’t matter to a rodent, unfortunately. Not Checking the Stations Often Enough I’ve genuinely walked into situations where someone set up stations three weeks ago and never looked at them again. That’s a problem. Bait goes bad — gets moldy, stale, sometimes ant...

A bathroom is small, which tricks people into thinking hiring someone for it is easy. It isn’t. Plumbing, waterproofing, tile, electrical, ventilation, all packed into about forty square feet. Get one layer wrong and you won’t know for a year, when the stain shows up. Before you call any bathroom remodel contractors Los Angeles has to offer, skim this bathroom remodel checklist for homeowners . It’ll help you decide what you actually want. Here’s how I’d sort through the options. Know What You’re Asking For Contractors can only price what you describe. “Redo the bathroom” gets you three wildly different quotes, because each person guessed a different job. So I’d spend an evening writing it down. Keep the tub or swap it for a walk-in shower? Move the vanity? New floor, or just new tile on the walls? Add a second sink? Even rough answers make quotes comparable, and they make you sound like someone who’s done homework. Check the License First This takes ten minutes and prevents a lot of ...

Most people who book a luxury Kilimanjaro trek worry about the wrong thing. They ask about the tents, the food and whether there’ll be hot water. Those are all fine. What they should be asking about is summit night, because no amount of comfort changes how it feels to walk uphill at 5,000 metres in the dark. So this post is an honest tour of what the trip is like, from the first coffee to the last night on the mountain, including the hard parts. Before the mountain: the lodge and the waterfall The trip doesn’t start on the mountain. You spend two nights at Airport Planet Lodge, a four-star place set in landscaped gardens between Kilimanjaro International Airport and the southern side of the mountain. It has standalone cottages with ensuite bathrooms, a pool and a restaurant. Staying here instead of in Arusha cuts the driving at both ends, which matters more than you’d think after a long flight. On the first full day you walk to Materuni Waterfall, about 90 metres high, through farmlan...

  Just ten years ago if you mentioned having a metal roof installed your neighbour would have thought you were going to turn your house into a barn! Now they’re all over subdivisions and honestly they look great. Home owners are becoming tired of having to change their shingles every 12-15 years, especially in areas with intense sun exposure and unexpected hail storms. Metal roofs can last 40-50 years, some even 70 years if installed correctly. This is an important factor to consider and we’ll talk about this below. Choosing a reliable metal roof company is equally important because even the best roofing materials need proper installation to deliver long-term performance. They also save you money on your energy bills as they reflect the heat rather than absorbing it meaning your air conditioning doesn’t have to work as hard in August. Some insurance companies also offer reduced premiums for impact resistant roofing. There is definitely a lot of interest in metal roofs however if y...

  Most of the time people will book their tent, caterers and DJ. Portable toilets are the last thing on their mind. This means that they will call around 3 days before the event and wonder why there are no portable toilets left. When arranging Portable Toilet Solutions In Woodbridge NJ , it is important to book in advance. It is not difficult to book in advance but it can easily be forgotten. If booked earlier the more control you have over your portable toilets, the type you get, when they arrive and the cost. The Rule of Thumb For a small garden party you can generally book 2 weeks in advance. If you have a wedding, school fundraiser or large block party, aim to book 4-6 weeks in advance. If you have a large public event such as a festival, fair or race, aim to book 2-3 months in advance. This may seem excessive but it is very important as there is only a certain amount of portable toilets each rental company will have. During busy weekends they will be fully booked and there is ...
