I just spotted two false widow spiders in my home — and this surprising location attracts them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I've lost count of how many false widow spiders I've found in my tiny en-suite bathroom. The window in this room tends to be left open year-round to avoid mold and condensation build-up, and to let air flow through our bedroom, too. But with this hack comes a spider or two, especially come summer. And until last week, I thought these spiders were confined to this one room. Wrong. This was, of course, until I spotted an even bigger one in our living room the other night. The culprit? A dried flow

Fish owners, rejoice! That (rather pungent) tank clean you have to steel yourself for every so often can double up as a clever gardening hack. As rumour has it, fish tank water is a brilliant source of nutrients to pour over leafy green plants in your garden. So, next time you're cleaning and removing water from your aquarium, be mindful of the fact that this stuff is essentially liquid gold for gardeners. There are some dos and don'ts, of course, but the water from most freshwater fish tanks ca

It's officially de-weeding season. It's a job that nobody likes to do, but it's a necessity for a tidy backyard. Because there's no point in investing in high-quality patio furniture, choosing the perfect outdoor cushions, and even ensuring that you've got the best grill around, just to let your garden look untidy from weeds. Take it from me and tackle them now before it's too late. Don't let them grow wild, as it makes the job twice as hard. You should see my front patio — untameable is an unde
Don't pour boiling water down the drain — an expert says you should do this instead (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stinky drains, kitchen flies, sticky bins — the joys of the summer months! It’s not all bad, but these pesky household problems can easily destroy the look of an otherwise picture-perfect kitchen. I know what you’re thinking: boiling water solves everything! And I thought the same. I’d boil the kettle for a tea and sling the leftovers down my sink hole. But as it turns out, using this convenient ingredient to clean your pipes isn’t as clever as you might think. In some cases, particularly for th
