Getting Rid of Bugs in Dog Biscuits
I had brown hard bugs for several months now. They are in the den where my dog's Milk Bones are. They have eaten holes all through the bones and are all over our ceiling, floor, and tables. They don't live long and I vacuum them up. I've seen them fly a little ways.

Mice Don't Like Potpourri Toilet Deodorizers. I have accidently stumbled on a way to keep those 4 legged kritters out from under your cupboards.

Tiny Red Ants in Packages of Food
I have these itty bitty red ants. I don't know what kind they are or how to get rid of them. They have actually gotten into packages of food that haven't even been opened yet. I can't afford to throw away groceries so if any one knows how to get rid of them I sure would appreciate it.
