Q: Look for signs of chipmunk around your property. See if you can find a chipmunk hole. If you have a patio you should look on the border of it. If you have a deck, you should check under it. If you can't find any signs of chipmunks, this method works just as well on squirrels. Find a spot free from grass and under a tree. The tree needs to have a branch that's at least somewhat horizontal and close enough to hang something from it. Find a box at least 12in x 12in. Cut all closing flaps off with scissors. Cut two holes in the center of the top of the box about 2in apart. Then get a long piece of weed wacker wire or twine, at least long enough to go over a low branch in the tree and still have plenty to spare. Thread it through the holes and tie a knot to about 1 1/2in above the box. Move the excess string around so that when you hold it from about a foot up the string the box is decently flat. Throw the box over a tree branch that hovers over the spot free from grass. Give out 16 feet (4.9m) more of string (still attached to the original piece) starting from where it's touching the tree branch. Go to the spot where the very tip of the string is. Tie the string to a medium-sized, thick stick. You need to tie enough of the string so that the box hovers at least a foot above the ground. Drive the stick into the ground. Release the stick from the ground thus letting the box fall. Mark where the box fell. You can do this by tracing a slight indention in the dirt with a stick. Pull the box back up and drive the stick back in to secure it. Inside the border of where the box fell, dig a hole 7in deep. Make sure it's to the shape of the box. Place the box over the hole to make sure it's the same size. Then pull the box back up and dig an extra inch each way so the box falls in when you lower it. Keep testing your trap and enlarging the hole until the box falls straight in every time you release the stick. Fill the bottom with about 3in of some kind of seed like pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. Wait patiently and quietly for a chipmunk to come jump in the trap to have a feast. Then release the box. What will happen is he will probably try to jump out of the hole and escape, but because of all the bird food under him, he won't be able to jump because there is no support, and he'll be trapped. Chipmunks can chew through cardboard, so if you don't want it to escape the trap, you'll need an extra layer of protection. Get a large plastic box, one large enough to fit over the hole. Place it over the hole and place rocks or books on top of it to secure it.
A: Locate your trapping spot. Prepare the box. Put the trap on the tree. Prepare the other end of the trap. Mark where you'll make the hole. Dig the hole. Prepare the bait and then wait. Secure the trap.

Article: Each marker comes with a letter that tells you which color family it belongs to and a number code that represents the color saturation. An example of the color family codes is the letter "B" - any codes that begin with a "B" belong to the blue family. The number code representing saturation is a 2-digit number code. The first digit represents the vibrancy, and the second digit represents lightness. A marker with a "05" code would be a vibrant mid-tone, while a marker with a "99" code would be very dull and dark. Luckily, these markers are simple to store and are not easily ruined. Keep the caps on them when they are not in use, store them either vertically or horizontally, and try to keep them in a cool, dry place. If you accidentally leave your markers on a really hot window ledge or in a cold car, it is okay. The caps on each marker are airtight, so they are not easily destroyed by extreme temperatures. Both ends of the marker get ink from the same reservoir, so it is only necessary to add the ink to one end. The broad end is a larger surface for the ink to seep into, and this angle will help the ink drip down into the marker more efficiently. Be sure to refill your markers over a protected area. Cover the surface with paper towels, newspaper, or any other thick, disposable paper. Allow each ink drop to absorb into the marker before adding the next drop. The ink will run down the tip and into the marker. Be sure to add the correct color of ink to your marker. If you accidentally overfill the marker and the ink begins to run over, absorb the excess with a tissue or paper towel.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose the right Copic marker for your needs. Store Copic markers correctly to ensure quality and longevity. Refill the Copic marker by uncapping the broad end and holding it at a 45 degree angle. Add 15-20 drops of Copic ink onto the nib of your marker.

Problem: Article: Usually, it takes about half a year for pineapples to fully develop after the plant blooms. Start looking for ripeness at about 5 1/2 months. Keep in mind that the "bloom" becomes the pineapple. The pineapple will be covered in small blue flowers. If you're growing your plant from a pineapple top, it can take up to 2 years before a pineapple starts growing. Unripe pineapples are green in color. When they begin to ripen, you'll notice a change near the base of the pineapple. It will start to turn yellow-orange, indicating its ready or almost ready for picking. Pay attention when the fruit is at least 2/3 yellow. The fruit won't be ready to ripen until the majority of the fruit has turned yellow-orange. At this point, the pineapple is considered mature, though not necessarily ripe. An overripe fruit will be turning brown or moldy. It may have soft spots on it, too. When a pineapple is ready to harvest, it will start to have a strong pineapple scent. You'll know it's ripe when you catch whiffs of it even when you don't have your nose right next to the pineapple. Lean down a bit to smell your pineapple. The smell will be strongest at the base. If the fruit is overripe, it will start to have an alcohol-like or fermented fruit smell. Firmly but gently tap the side of your pineapple your hand while listening closely to the sound it makes. If it sounds solid when you tap it, it's not quite ready for harvest yet. Pineapples do not ripen too much more after they are picked. Therefore, if you want a tasty pineapple, you must wait until it is fully ripened to harvest it. A pineapple may ripen a little after it is harvested if you keep it at room temperature. However, you should not count on this is as the primary method to ripen your pineapple. Let most of the maturing happen on the plant.
Summary: Wait 6 months after the plant blooms. Look for a color change from green to yellow-orange at the base. Give the pineapple a good sniff to test for the pineapple scent. Tap the side of the pineapple and listen to how it sounds. Wait until the pineapple is ripe to harvest it.

Q: The best way to maintain your epoxy floor is to run a soft dust mop over it once a week. This removes dirt and dust gently, which prevents scratches and protects your floor. For floors with an anti-slip aggregate coating--such as aluminum oxide--a soft bristle push broom may be more effective than a standard dust mop. If you have visible construction joints or saw cuts, you should use a vacuum to clean these out. For best results, use your vacuum attachment hose with a crevice tool. Vacuum these joints about once per month. If you do not have a vacuum, you can try to clean any joints/cuts with a stiff bristle broom. Oil, chemicals, or even just water left to sit for too long can damage your epoxy floors. Clean any spills as soon as you see them using a soft towel or cloth. You can use a gentle cleanser--such as Windex--if a spill is sticky or leaves a film.
A:
Dust mop once a week. Vacuum any joints once a month. Clean spills immediately with a soft cloth.
