Problem: Article: This substance is completely natural and safe for use around humans and pets, but it kills ants and other crawling critters. It's composed of ground up fossil pieces that cut into insects' exoskeletons when they walk over it. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth in corners, under the sink, in windowsills, and anywhere else you often see ants. Every week or two, vacuum up the diatomaceous earth and replace it with fresh powder. This substance doesn't work as well in humid areas, since it loses its sharpness when it becomes wet. If you have a lot of black ants on your carpeting, cover it in a fine layer of baking soda, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it up. You can also apply cornstarch to a surface and vacuum it up immediately before you try to vacuum up the black ants. The added cornstarch in the vacuum will suffocate the animal. Certain natural sprays act as insect repellents. You can easily make your own by adding 10 drops of essential oil to a cup of water, then pouring it into a spray bottle. Spray the mixture all over your house to keep ants away. Here are a few essential oils to try: Eucalyptus oil (don't use this one if you have a cat) Tea tree oil Lavender Peppermint Lemon Windex You might already have a box in your laundry room. This household substance doubles as a very effective insecticide. Simply sprinkle boric acid in corner and around room perimeters. Ants and other critters will die after crawling over the powder. If you don't have any other repellent on hand, try sprinkling some cinnamon in the room where the ants are gathering. Ants are repelled by the fine powder and strong smell. While sprinkling cinnamon won't kill the ants, it might keep them from coming back.
Summary: Use diatomaceous earth. Use baking soda to clean carpets. Try an essential oil spray. Use boric acid. Try cinnamon powder.

Problem: Article: Just as with any other wart treatment, you will want to soak the thick, hardened skin around the wart in hot water for up to fifteen minutes. Allow the tissue to soften so that it is more readily removed with the pumice stone. Towel dry the wart before using the stone. Use a pumice stone immediately after soaking to gently remove the softened layers of dead skin near the wart. Do not press too hard, as this could cause cracking and infection. Instead, use a gentle back-and-forth motion over the area around the wart, and stop when you notice healthy, live skin. After pumicing, use petroleum jelly or another moisturizing cream to cover the wart overnight and allow it to soften. In the morning, wash off any residual jelly or cream and towel dry the site. There is no medical proof that duct tape is an effective treatment for warts, but many claim to have great success with this home remedy. After pumicing the wart, cover it with a small piece of duct tape. Change out the tape every six or so days to peel away the wart a few layers at a time. Repeat the soaking and pumicing process every time you change out the duct tape. Continue this process for no more than two months. If the treatment is not working, try another over the counter treatment, or contact your doctor for further care instructions.
Summary: Soak your skin for ten to fifteen minutes. Pumice the wart gently. Cover the wart overnight. Cover the wart with duct tape.

Problem: Article: " Smoking one cigarette will reintroduce nicotine into your system and may lead to smoking another, and then another and then another. You will be better off if you just don't smoke at all. When you find yourself about to give in to the common rationalization that just one cigarette isn't going to hurt, turn back to your reason for quitting. Are you quitting for your child? Smoking just one cigarette will hurt her. Your own health? One cigarette is going to set you back. Just one cigarette could make you wind up going back to your pack a day habit, and then you'll have to start all over. Don't throw away everything you've accomplished so far. If you do give in? Don't beat yourself up, but don't use it as an excuse to indulge further. You'll probably have worse cravings than before, but you have the strength to overcome them. You quit once, and you can do it again. Having a positive attitude is very important when you're quitting cigarettes. Your mind may constantly pull you down with negative thoughts about everything you're giving up, like having a good time with your friends or feeling the sweet rush of smoke after a long day. Focus not on what you're losing, but what you're gaining and have already gained. For example: Your health Your family's respect Money Whiter teeth and fresher breath A cleaner space Clothes that don't smell Time to spend on anything you want to do besides smoking Freedom from the incessant need to drop whatever you're doing and have a smoke During the times when quitting feels impossible, and you just don't think you can handle going without cigarettes anymore, go back to your calendar. Look at the date you quit. Every day you successfully avoided smoking since then is an accomplishment. You obviously have amazing willpower. You have physical strength. You've put your mind and body to the test in a way that no one who hasn't done it could ever understand. Take pride in what you've done, and stay motivated to keep going.
Summary:
Don't give in to "just one cigarette. Focus on what you're gaining instead of what you're losing. Keep believing you can do it.
