How To Check for Mechanic Liens

Posted: 19 Feb 2010 06:47 PM PST

If you are planning to buy a house or property, one of the first things that you should check is the existence of outstanding mechanic liens attached to the property title.

How To Make a Mousetrap

Posted: 19 Feb 2010 06:45 PM PST

Mice are usually difficult creatures to capture. They move quickly, and they have plenty of hiding places in your home or store. They don't only eat the food from your cupboard, and destroy your woodwork. A mouse can also prove to be a health hazard. Their urine is known to cause leptospirosis, when introduced into the bloodstream. Their feces can also be harmful if mixed up with food.

You can use commercially bought mouse and rat poisons. The problem with this, however, is that if the mouse dies somewhere unreachable, it will result in a very bad smell that will last for weeks. Clip-type mouse traps are menacing, but these can be messy, especially if the mouse's head, limbs or tail get cut off. Adhesive traps can also be messy, and might be expensive since they can only be used one time. Cage-type mouse traps are best, as they let you catch mice without mutilating them and making a mess of the room.
