Find where they are coming in, and put down some fresh mint leaves. Carpenter ants hate mint leaves. Vacuum the up as you see them with a vacuum cleaner hose…emptying out the bag often of course. Once you suck up all of the one’s currently in your house, the mint leaves will definitely keep them away.

This is Millar, back in the days when someone that he did not know could walk up to him and pet him.
Alas, those days are gone. Now all one can do is watch as the Food Man pets him, and as he growls at passers by.

Q&A: How do you get a cat to eat cat food, when they will only eat people food?
Question by shandylds: How do you get a cat to eat cat food, when they will only eat people food?
My cat would rather starve himself to death than eat cat food. He has lost about 3 pounds over the past week and a half since he stopped eating cat food. I took him to the vet and they say nothing is wrong with him. Is there any great tasting cat food that I could try to get my cat to eat?

What Are BHA and BHT and Why Are They in My Pet’s Food?
What Are BHA and BHT and Why Are They in My Pet’s Food?
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are preservatives added to a wide variety of processed foods to keep them from going rancid or changing flavor, odor, and color, especially those foods containing oil or shortening. Though widely used by food manufacturers, despite the fact that safe alternatives are available, many research studies indicate BHA and BHT are carcinogens. The FDA considers these additives safe, but the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer considers BHA to be a possible carcinogen and it is listed as such by California State.
Studies dating back to 1974 have shown that BHA and BHT increase the risk of cancer, accumulate in body tissue, cause liver enlargement, and can retard the rate of DNA synthesis and cell development. The fact that BHA and BHT accumulate in body tissue is of special significance to the health of our pets since they tend to eat the same diet day after day.
Dr. Janet Starr Hull believes that BHA and BHT are unnecessary additives to our food and should be avoided because they may cause cancer.
In addition to the physical health risks, many animal behaviorists, veterinarians and animal trainers believe there is a direct link between diet and dietary additives and behavioral problems (John Fisher 2003). Though no research studies have been done in this area there is significant anecdotal evidence that this is true in many cases. Writing for MSN Health & Fitness, Jean Weiss includes BHA & BHT as food additives to avoid.
There are several food manufacturers supported by nutritional experts that also believe that pet food should be free of BHA and BHT.
As a pet parent it is worth taking a few minutes to educate yourself on what should be in, and what should not be in your pet food. That way you can purchase the most appropriate pet food for you four legged friend.

Q&A: What are some dog breeds that you believe are best to purchase from the country they originated from?
Question by : What are some dog breeds that you believe are best to purchase from the country they originated from?
Just wondering.
Also, do you think that for some breeds, the country they originated from try and stay more true to the breed than other countries that sell/breed the same breed?
If you could purchase any dog breed from another country-what breed would it be?
Also I apologize if some wording for this question seems off, I couldn’t think of how to word some of it better. Thank you in advance to anyone to responds!
Thank you all for your input, it was interesting to read and many gave good points.

Answer by Gia
As long as you can trace the lineage to your country and that it’s been documented, there should be no problem.
I am in love with the wirehaired german pointer who has been mixed up so much in the the USA. Read about them, they are the most loving, calm and yet true to their hunting/pointing abilities, they are my favorite breed.
Many of the lines have been mixed in the US so this is a breed I would be more apt to go to the country of origin to purchase.

How old are puppies when they open their eyes?
Question by Cathy: How old are puppies when they open their eyes?
I’m doing a project in my biology class and have to raise a viritual puppy litter. I tried looking up how old puppies are when they open their eyes, but I have found answers ranging from 8 – 21 days. This seemed like a pretty big range, so I decided to come here. Is it also true that a puppy’s ears usually open a few days after their eyes?
Best answer:
Answer by Ashley D
7-8 days old. Yep, ears will open around day 9.

Do geriatrics have to prove that they own pets when buying pet food in bulk?
Question by : Do geriatrics have to prove that they own pets when buying pet food in bulk?
One of my co-workers told me, that because dog/cat food is so cheap to buy in bulk, it’s common for old people to eat it. For that reason, he said, it’s common grocer policy to ask elderly people to prove they own pets when buying pet food in bulk.
Please, someone tell me this isn’t true.
