Article: Pour beer into a small container, such as an old tuna fish can. Bury the container in you garden or near the place where you saw the snails, but leave at least 1 inch (2.5cm) above the soil. The smell of the beer will attract the snails, which will drown in the container. Adding yeast will make the traps more enticing to the snails. You may need to put out multiple traps, as they will only be effective for snails that are close by. Other great options for your beer container include a plastic cup, yogurt cup, bowl, or pie dish. Don't bury your beer trap at soil level, as other beneficial bugs might accidentally die in it. Snails are most active in the early morning or at night, so this is the best time to go snail-picking. Put the snails in a bucket or container to move elsewhere. You might also decide to kill the snails. To make the process quicker, you can put an overturned pot or bowl in your garden or near the area where you've seen the snails. The snails will likely hide under the pot, which makes it easy for you to find them. The caffeine in coffee negatively affects snails, so they'll die if you spray them with coffee. However, you have to drench the snail for it to die, so make sure you spray it a lot. Make your own coffee spray by brewing a pot of coffee, then letting it cool. Put the coffee in a spray bottle to use around your garden or home. Spritz the garlic spray around your garden, yard, and home, as needed. If you spot a snail, you can drench it with the garlic spray. It may kill some snails, and it will also deter them away. To make your garlic spray, soak 3 crushed garlic cloves in 1 tablespoon (15mL) of vegetable oil overnight. Then, strain the liquid into 1 litre (4.2c) of water. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Add 1 teaspoon (4.9mL) of liquid soap to the solution, then shake the bottle before using. Iron phosphate is a molluscicide, which means it kills snails and slugs. Simply place the trap in your garden or near the location where you've noticed snails, and they'll be attracted to the bait on it. After they come into contact with the iron phosphate, the snails will die. You an find an iron phosphate bait at a local gardening store or online. This bait will make the snails stop eating, but they may take as long as a week to die. Iron phosphate is the safest bait to use because it's non-toxic to humans and pets. Distribute the product in the late afternoon or early evening so it will be fresh when the snails become active at night. Sprinkle a light layer of the molluscicide around the area where you've seen the snails. The snails will be attracted to the bait mixed into the molluscicide. After they ingest it, they will die within 3 days. This product is generally safe for use around your yard, but keep your children and pets away from the area. The molluscicide should be in a thin layer. Don't put out clumps, as other animals could eat it and get sick or die. Chickens enjoy munching on snails, so allowing one to roam around your yard or garden is a great natural solution for snail control. The chicken will find the snails for you, so you don't have to do any of the snail removal yourself. Ducks may also eat snails, but they prefer slugs over snails. Make sure your local laws and ordinances allow you to have a chicken in your yard. These include frogs, toads, turtles, birds, possums, and snakes. Which predator you choose will depend on your environment, so talk to your local agricultural extension office or gardening club for recommendations for biological controls that will work in your area. They'll recommend plants or shrubs to grow, as well as natural habitats you can build, like a rock garden. You might also search online for the best ways of encouraging natural predators in your area.

Problem: Article: It's different for every dye, so it's hard to be specific here but most carpet dyes require you to mix them with hot water and a chemical. Mix the dye according to manufacturer's suggestions. You won't want to wear your nice khakis or your favorite dress. The odds are pretty high that you will get some of the dye on your clothing. You'll also want to wear protective eyewear, and maybe gloves. The corner might be a good spot for this, or some part of the carpet that normally rests under the table. Test it and give it a few hours to dry, because the immediate color might not be the same color once it is no longer wet. The manufacturer should have a listed drying time. If you're happy with the result, you can continue dying your carpet. Proceed with your decision to dye your carpet only if there are no adverse effects to the look or feel of the carpet and you are happy with the color. Start the dye application in the furthest corner of the room and continue working your way towards your exit door so you do not have to step on the wet dye. Many manufacturers want you to spray the dye onto the carpet. This is easy enough, all you'll have to do is take an empty sprayer that you have lying around and pour the dye into it. Be careful not to spill the dye - pouring it into a cup first and then into the sprayer might work better. An empty Windex sprayer or something of that nature will work. Scrub the dye into the fibers of the carpet after spraying it on. Use a stiff bristled brush and work in a circular motion. Take your time to ensure that all carpet fibers are evenly covered when you look at them from all angles. If you scrub carpet - the fibers will untwist. Raking with a carpet rake in a single direction is the only way to agitate dyes and not harm the fibers. Keep children and animals out of the room and give your carpet ample time to dry. The dye manufacturer should have an estimated drying time, and it's always safe to wait a little longer after that. Hopefully your carpet will look great!
Summary: Follow the instructions on the dye package to prepare the dye. Wear the correct clothing. Test the dye on your carpet in an inconspicuous area before beginning the job. Apply the dye to the carpet. Let it dry.

If you know that you want a thick caramel sauce, cut down on the amount of milk that the recipe suggests. Leave out about 1/3 or 1/2 of the recommended milk. This will result in a caramel sauce that's thicker and that you won't have to spend extra time simmering. For example, if a recipe calls for 1.5 cups (360 mL) of milk, try only using 1 cup (250 mL). Most caramel sauces are made by caramelizing sugar and adding milk and a little salt. If you increase the amount of sugar in the recipe you'll end up with a thicker caramel. Try increasing the sugar by about 1/3. The amount of milk suggested by the recipe, then, will leave you with a thick caramel sauce. Be aware that this will also increase the sweet, caramel flavor of the sauce. If you want a caramel sauce with a milder flavor, avoid adding the extra sugar. If you want a thick caramel sauce but would rather avoid altering the amounts of ingredients given in a recipe, you can simply use heavy whipping cream instead of milk. The whipping cream will taste the same as milk in the final product, but will produce a thicker sauce. Switching out milk for cream will result in a rich, heavy caramel sauce.
