Tip of the Day



Special Delivery (for Bugs)

Do you feel you are fighting a losing battle with ants and bugs in your kitchen? No matter what you do, nothing seems to faze them? No matter what you use -- from sprays and powders to home remedies -- they’re back again the very next day? It’s largely because the space behind the toekick and below base cabinets provides a safe haven that’s next to impossible to reach and treat. That is, unless you know how to give them a special delivery. Drill a 3/8-inch hole either through the baseboard or the cabinet floor. Then deliver a straight shot of insecticide. After spraying, plug the hole with a furniture dowel button painted to match your baseboard, or a wooden dowel plug in the cabinet floor. And that's On The House tip for today.
