garland: Hello Spring ... Hello Insects - 03/05/11 03:18 AM

Bye-Bye Winter ... Spring is here! In case you haven't noticed, humans aren't the only ones who are glad to see winter go. ANTS & other INSECTS are also drawn to this warmer weather, especially in Texas, and are coming out in droves ... or at least it seems like they are.  For me, I've never been a big fan of using environmentally harmful chemicals or "over the counter" products like RAID to keep our house clear of unwanted insects, especially since our Lil'Dude blessed our lives almost 2 years ago. We searched high & low and finally found EcoStar Pest Control (http://www.ecostarpestcontrol.com/),an amazing company that … (2 comments)

Well if you're like me, and have driven past it but never stopped … (2 comments)

Okay, so we all know that it's a MUST to have clean fresh carpets if you're getting your house market-ready to sell and it's definetly something all buyers look for. Although I'm personally not doing either, I did like most people, survive the holiday invasion of family and friends ... however, our cream colored carpet wasn't so lucky! We found a few wine drops & chocolate spots along with the foot traffic that had built up. Now because I have a 20 mth old lil'dude, I'm quite picky about the chemicals used in our house.< Enter Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaners ... … (3 comments)
