So, I tossed some rat poison pellets under my house at this exact spot about 6 months ago. Got under there today and it looked like this grainy stuff, which was still stuck together and not loose. Also with it was this random standing liquid, part of it black and part of it with black larvae in...

The wall in both of these photos is the same wall separating both rooms in the photos. The black circled area is where the popping sounds come from. The sounds were completely absent in the spring and summer but have came about since it got cool out and our heat started to kick on. Any idea of...

Any idea what causes a tile to "pop" when you step on it? I have one tile in a bathroom that will pop when you step on it in the winter, in the summer it stops. Now, during summer, a separate tile in another part of the bathroom pops when stepped on, but that one stops in the winter. It is...

My water inlet valve has a slow drip leak where it connects to the dishwasher. The leak is not coming from the connector where the water supply connects. It is leaking when it is not running. Would a slight tighten up help this or do I need to replace it? I'm at work so can't tighten right now...

My shower floor is a fiberglass pan. In the spring and summer, or when it's warm outside, my shower floor creeks a bit at the drain when I step on it. After it creeks, the noise will cease until after I get out and get back in. Almost as if it gets pushed down, stays down, and comes back up when...
