Cats are not the biggest problem there. When buying tile from BaroBaro, buy only tiles they have in stock. If you place any order there it is guaranty that it will take 3 times longer to be delivered than originally promised. |

Hi You can use dryer wipes, the ones for the clothes dryer, as a mosquito repellent. I know it sounds silly but they really work. All you need is to put one hanging out a pocket, through a belt loop or your sock or shoe. J. |

| You are right friend. We are trying to decide whether to purchase an existing home or have a home built and we are educating ourselves about the pros and cons of each. As soon as we've made up our minds we'll get back in touch again. Ah, those 'difficult decisions and tough choices' again. Thank to ... |

Hi This is my own recipe that works well on ants. Boric Acid. It costs 4 pesos for 10 grams at the pharmacy. Mix it 50-50 with sugar and add water to create syrup. Mix it well - the less sugar grains, the better. Give a couple of days just to be sure. J. |
