    Mold removal

    I have read a bit more about this. No one has tested for mold, so I can not say for sure, but my body tells me, when I am in the area, I have itchy eyes, runny nose, skin irritations, and I had a very nasty influenza.

    Mold removal

    Thank you for your replies. We have already been exposed to the air blown from the affected area, but did not experience serious side effects so far, so I hope it was not as dangerous as we got scared.

    Ants problem in wood frame building

    The ants are small in size and dark in color. I did not see a cluster of discarded wings, just a saw dust like residue on the floor. After being disturbed, they have disappeared into the wall. I did not see a queen or any ants with wings. They may have been there all time, and if there is a...

    Ants problem in wood frame building

    We live in a wood frame building on main floor. We have ants and maybe even more serious problem. Can someone advise on how serious it may be and what should we do? I noticed ants first summer when we moved in and used a store bought ant killer. That did not completely exterminate them and we...
