I love camping and just returned from Mikumi. We use the generator and compact fluorescent bulbs but at night thousands of bugs get attracted to the bulb and ruin everything. What is the solution?

There are multiple ways to help (thank goodness) with all the bugs swarming your lighted area: 1. By using alternative lighting sources. 2. By using yellow tinted bulbs instead of clear. 3. By switched your bulb to a LED bulb. 4. Light a few aromatic candles. 5. Invest in a bug zapper. 6. Place pungent spices around the area. 7. Do away with still water.

Do all CFL and fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury?

No. Only some of the old models contain mercury. The latest models include fluorescent powder, which is a non-hazardous white powder.

There is an orphaned baby raccoon hanging around my yard. It's big enough to run and get away, but cried for its mum all night last night. How do I lure it to catch and care for it?

You could get animal control to do it. Raccoons can carry any dangerous diseases. If you really want to help it, animal control is the safest bet.

My light bulb high and low beam is out. I try to change it, but the piece that goes in the light bulb for connection is burned up so the bulb won't connect without a new connector. How do I do it?

You'll need to install a new light socket in order for anything to work or work properly. The socket may have failed or the wrong bulb may have been used....

How to secure the bottom? It installed as directed just fine, but the bottom leaves room for bugs; therefore, it's not entirely bug proof.

Remove the screen and reapply it to hang lower from the top of the door frame.

I have a 20A breaker (110V) which services one outlet (dart board game); I am thinking of splitting off of that line right before the outlet (in a junction box) to supply two 80W fluorescent fixtures. Will 14-2 Romex be OK to use?

No. 14-2 wire should be used for 15 amp circuits. Use 12ga copper wire for a 20 amp circuit.

Can I use a normal hammock that I use when I go camping?

Yes, I think you could. However, you would have to cut it quite a bit so it would be suitable for your cat to rest in.

I just love these natural remedies, and would love to use them, but there is absolutely no way my cats will allow themselves to be sprayed. Any ideas how else to apply these herbs?

You could spray the natural remedy onto your hands (wear disposable gloves) or a cloth towel and rub your hands or towel on your cat.

What if I have thousands of photos and don't want to tap each photo I want to merge?

Use a desktop or laptop for that. It lets you select all of them by pressing Shift and clicking on the first and last photo.

When I bought my lavender plants, I was told they were all perennials, but I thought all perennials had bulbs. I didn't see any bulbs when I transferred them to my own pots. Was I lied to?

You were not lied to. Some examples of perennials that do not have bulbs are aster, bee balm, hydrangea, and roses to name a few.
