How can I stop a cocker spaniel from peeing in the house?
Cocker spaniel keeps peeing in the house, I let him out and sometimes he comes right back in without going the pees when I'm not looking. Yes, he is neutered.
Try sprinkling cinnamon around the border of the rooms that they're sneaking into. Good luck!!

I'm not sure if it works on ants in general, but I used to get fire ants in my compost pile when it cooled down. To get rid of them, I dissolved 1 cup of molasses (black strap) in a gallon of water and poured it all over the pile. You could try watering your plants with the same mixture while they're still outside, just before you bring them in. I don't think you'd have to wait more than an hour or so bring them in as the molasses water works very quickly.
I believe that Borax works.
Gosh no not if you have a very precious grandchild around. Try to google it perhaps? Best of luck.
They do not like Rosemary. Soak Rosemary with warm water, or put Rosemary oil in water, and spray where they are coming into area. Or cotton balls with oil or grow Rosemary plants in areas outside where they are getting in. I grow them in pots in kitchen & put leaves in floor near door. Then vacuum up & smell freshens up bag.
Mice also do not like Rosemary!
