Q: You may not see direct evidence of termite infestation, but that doesn't mean you should remain ignorant of it. Sagging floors, holes in woodwork and hollow parts of your foundation are all serious warning signs of termites. You may actually see the termites themselves, as well. Take a screwdriver and flashlight with you to your basement, and examine crawlspaces and foundation beams by tapping on the wood to check for hollowness and to push the screwdriver into the wood to test for strength. If the wood gives easily and falls apart, you may have a termite problem on your hands. When performing this examination, also be sure to keep an eye out for termite wastes. Termite droppings are wood colored or darker brown pellets of excrement. The presence of these droppings near weakened wood could indicate an infestation. You may also find a termite nest on your property; a subterranean termite infestation will build a system of tunnels and tubes of mud, while a drywood termite infestation will present itself in a nest inside the wood. There are two general types of termites that might infest your home: subterranean and drywood termites. The former are found in both the soil around your home and the wood of your home, while the latter thrive solely in wood. Drywood termites are found mostly in warm, coastal regions - primarily California, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia. Subterranean termites can be found anywhere in the states. Subterranean termites can be found in wood and compost piles around your home, in addition to the foundational wood. Subterranean termites typically do much more damage to a home than drywood, and may require different treatment methods.
A: Look for signs of an infestation. Determine the type of termites you have.

Q: This method is intended for plain sterling silver chains that do not contain gems or stones. Ensure the dish or bowl is heat-safe and that it is deep enough to hold a few inches of water. The aluminum foil is essential for the chemical reaction. Alternatively, you can use an aluminum pie plate. Fill a small pot with 1 cup (240ml) of water. Bring it to a rolling boil, then add 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) (14 g) of baking soda to the pot. The solution will bubble and froth. Adjust the amounts if necessary so you can completely cover the necklace in bottom of the dish: use 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) (14 g) of baking soda per 1 cup (240ml) of water. Take care not to burn yourself when pouring the boiling water into the dish. The amount of time you let it soak depends on how dirty or tarnished the silver is. Watch the change in the necklace itself due to the chemical reaction so you will know when it's clean. Letting the necklace soak longer than this can lead to tarnish, so remove the necklace after 10 minutes. Use tongs or a fork to remove the necklace so you don't burn your hands. You don't need to rinse the necklace, just lay it out on a soft cloth to dry. The dirt and tarnish should be gone and your necklace will look like new!
A: Line a heat-safe dish with aluminum foil and place the necklace on top. Add 1 tbsp (14 g) of baking soda to 1 cup (240ml) of boiling water. Pour the solution over the necklace and let it soak for 2 to 10 minutes. Remove the necklace and let it dry on a soft cloth.

Q: Start out with leaves that are vibrant, and newly fallen. Coating the leaves with paraffin wax will preserve them at the height of their brilliant color. Dry them off with paper towels before you begin. You can buy a a 16-oz (453 g) box of paraffin wax at your local craft or grocery store. Melt it in a disposable cake pan by heating the pan on your stove over low heat. To make the paraffin wax melt more quickly, slice it into thick chunks and spread them evenly along the bottom of the disposable pan. If you do not use a disposable pan, use a cake pan that you do not plan on using for cooking anymore. The wax can ruin the pan, so you should not use a pan that you frequently use for cooking and baking. Exercise caution, since melted wax is very hot. Transfer it carefully from the burner to your work table. Pay close attention to it to make sure that it does not get knocked over, especially if you have pets or small children. Hold a leaf at the tip of the stem and dunk it into the liquified wax several times. Make sure both sides of the leaf get coated in wax. Avoid getting your fingers too close to the wax. Repeat with the remaining leaves. Lay each wax-covered leaf out on wax paper until the wax hardens. Let the leaves dry in draft-free area for several hours. Once dried, they should lift off the wax paper easily. This method preserves the form and color of the leaves for a long time. To be extra safe, line the counters with newsprint before lining them with a layer of wax paper. The double-layer minimizes the risk of getting wax drippings on the counter. If they get on the counter, wax drippings can be extremely difficult to scrape off.
A: Choose fresh leaves. Melt paraffin wax in a disposable pan. Remove the melted wax from the stove. Dip each leaf into the melted wax. Lay the leaves out to dry.

Q: This should be the browser in which you want to disable the AdBlock extension on a specific website. Open the website on which you want to disable AdBlock. For example, if you want to disable AdBlock on Wikipedia, you'd go to www.wikipedia.com here. Most browsers have a section in which you can see the icons for the extensions that you've installed. To do so: Chrome - Click in the upper-right side of the window to prompt a drop-down menu. The AdBlock icon is at the top of the drop-down menu. Firefox - You should see the AdBlock icon in the upper-right side of the Firefox page. Edge - If AdBlock isn't in the upper-right corner of the page, click , click Extensions, click AdBlock, and click the "Show button next to address bar" switch to make it appear there. Safari - The AdBlock icon should be to the left of the address bar in the upper-left side of the Safari page. It resembles a red stop sign with a white hand on it. A drop-down menu will appear. This option is near the bottom of the drop-down menu. Doing so opens a pop-up window. Click and drag the "Site" slider right to increase the number of site variations that are ignored. Clicking and dragging the "Page" slider to the right will prompt AdBlock to ignore specific pages on the site (the level of specificity increases as you drag the slider right) rather than all pages on the site. Not all sites will require adjustment. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. Doing so will save your changes and turn off AdBlock for your selected site and/or pages.
