  • Ants lying in Windex. 3

ANTS? Easy, Safe Solution!

An exterminator told my friend that when you begin to see ants, they are the scouts. Stop these and you won't have ants. My son discovered that if you spray them with Windex (or any other glass cleaner), they are exterminated. Keep after it for a while and you won't have ants. We have used this for years. 2 days ago our humming bird feeder leaked onto the concrete front porch...the liquid got down in the crack between brick and concrete so there was not way to flush it out. Ants ...»
appeared quickly, I sprayed them with Windex. Watched through the day and kept spraying them. Now ant free! Safe for kids, pets and environment! It is worth a try before you spend hundreds.

  • These are the knobs I created, I think they would be fun to use on a Child's Coat Rack or a Dresser!
  • Step 1 - Print the printable and cut out the images.
  • This is the product that I used. It's Mod Podge Transfer Medium.
  • Step 2: Apply a thick coat of Mod Podge to the cut out image. About 1/16" thick.
  • Step 3: Put the wet image face down, onto the knob, and pat, until it adheres nicely. Then allow to dry for 24 Hours.
  • Step 4: After 24 hrs, wet with a sponge and let it sit for about 2 mins.
  • Step 5: Using a damp sponge, rub lightly in a circular motion to remove the paper. When done, you can seal it, if desired.

Lombardy Poplars

This is a "warning" post. I had planted a row of these about 4 years ago, with the intention of blocking out the neighbor behind us. Our 6 foot privacy fence, on a slope, was only about 5 feet in reality. True to their information, they do grow extremely fast and provide excellent privacy. Within 3 years they were about 15 feet tall.

Unfortunately, we spent last summer trying to exterminate them. The roots are VERY invasive. I found a ...»

root up against our above ground pool, and my pool means much more to me than privacy. I didn't need roots poking up through the vinyl liner.

The way we got rid of them was to cut them down, and then spend the entire summer applying TORDON stump killer to the shoots. There were shoots everywhere, even 15 feet up into the yard, in every direction. The drought we had last year was a blessing in disguise for us, because it helped in preventing more roots, since they like water. Tordon works fantastically in immediately killing the shoot.

So, if you like these and want to plant, I would suggest you do it out on the back 40 where it won't bother anything.
