Article: Check for mouse droppings near common problem areas, such as kitchen cabinets or in your pantry. Inspect the area for dark droppings that look like grains of rice and are about 3⁄16–1⁄4 in (0.5–0.6 cm) long. Droppings that are wet and black are fresh while older ones are dry and have a lighter gray color. The presence of droppings can also indicate that there's a crack or hole in the room through which mice can enter. Mice are the most active 30 minutes after sunset and 30 minutes before sunrise since they’re nocturnal. Listen for light scratching or scampering sounds near your walls or in areas where you suspect mice. If you hear multiple squeaks or noises, you may have more than 1 mouse in your home. Common areas where you may hear mice include basements, attics, and kitchens. If mice are living in your walls, they may have chewed through the drywall to get into your home. Inspect corners in your home or underneath cabinets to see if you there small holes with smooth edges. If you notice any holes, then mice can easily get in and out of your home. Don’t forget to inspect outside your home as well since mice may be coming in from the wild. Mice usually follow the same pathways while they run through your home, so you may be able to see common problem areas. Usually, the runs are along interior walls or on ledges surrounding your home. Look for oily rub marks on the wall to see if mice have been in the area.  You may also notice droppings or urine stains along the pathways as well. Look for any small, sudden movements you notice in your home since they could be mice. Mice will build nests when they breed so they have a comfortable space for their young. Check for round nests made of cardboard, fabric, and other scrap materials in your attic, basement, and underneath your cabinets. If you find a nest, contact a professional exterminator immediately so they can get rid of it properly.  Mice chew through cardboard boxes and items of clothing to use as materials for their nests. Look for tiny holes in the pile of clothes you've left sitting in the back of your closet. A musty smell might also indicate the presence of a mouse nest.

Problem: Article: Blepharitis is the inflammation of the eyelids on one or both eyes. This inflammation can cause watery, red, itchy, swollen eyes, accompanied by crusted eyelashes when you wake up, sensitivity to light, and more frequent blinking. Apply a warm washcloth over your eyes for about 5 minutes to loosen the crust in your eyelashes. Then, use a warm washcloth and mild cleanser to gently wipe away any oil and debris from your eyelids. Lay down on your back with your eyes open. Apply 1 to 2 drops of eye drops in each eye, and then blink your eyes until your vision clears. You can use the eye drops to reduce the amount of itchiness and irritation in your eyes. Look for lubricating eye drops at any drug store. If you deal with dandruff, it may be contributing to your blepharitis. Pick up an anti-dandruff shampoo to use on your hair to make your blepharitis go away quickly. Dandruff is linked to blepharitis because dandruff on your scalp can lead to dandruff on your eyebrows, which can clog the glands in your eyelids. Try taking fish oil supplements or eating more salmon, tuna, flaxseed, and walnuts in your daily diet. Omega-3s may help to decrease the symptoms that surround blepharitis, especially if you have rosacea.
Summary: Look for watery, red eyes that are more sensitive to light. Wash your eyelids every day. Use lubricating eye drops. Control your dandruff with anti-dandruff shampoo. Increase your intake of omega-3 to prevent blepharitis in the future.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get a hand vacuum for the pool at your local pool supply store or online. The vacuum attaches to your skimmer box to create suction. You then push the vacuum around the surface of the pool with a pole to suck up dirt and debris. A good hand vacuum of the pool will take 1 to 1.5 hours. Get in the habit of cleaning the pool at least 2 times a week, especially if your pool is outdoors and uncovered. You can also buy a mechanical pool cleaner that works on its own to suck up debris and dirt. Look for a suction pool cleaner at your local pool supply store or online. Run the mechanical pool cleaner at least twice a week to keep the pool clean. You can also invest in a pressure cleaner or a robot cleaner for the pool, though they will be more expensive. Your salt water pool should have a pump, skimmer, and filter in it to help keep it clean. Make sure you run these components in the pool at all times to help suck up dirt and debris. Check the pump, filter, and skimmer once a week to ensure they are not blocked or clogged by debris. Use a hose to blast away any dirt or debris. You can also put the pool components under running water to clean them. Clean the pump, filter, and skimmer after a big storm or a large party in the pool, as there will likely be more debris in the pool that can clog these components. The salt in the pool water can build up in the generator cell, causing scaling or crystallizing. Get in the habit of cleaning the generator cell in the pool so it is not clogged and can work properly. Use a high pressure hose to blast off the build up on the cell.  You can also scrape off salt build up with a wooden or plastic tool. If the build up is really stubborn and hard to get off, you can soak the cell in 4 parts water and 1 part muriatic acid. Allow the cell to soak for a few minutes and then rinse it off with water.

SUMMARY: Remove surface dirt and debris with a hand vacuum twice a week. Get a mechanical pool cleaner. Run the pump, skimmer, and filter in the pool at all times. Clean the pump, filter, and skimmer once a week with water. Clean the generator cell every 3 months.

Physically unplug the phone and the cord from the wall. Go to one of your other phones and check that it has a dial tone. If none of the phones in your house have a dial tone, see the next section. Remove the working phone and it's cord from the jack. Plug the phone that wasn't working into the same jack that the working phone was using. Use the same cord that the non-working phone used. If the phone has a dial tone after being plugged in, then the original wall jack is the culprit. If the phone still doesn't have a dial tone, then the phone itself is likely broken, or the cord isn't working. Before writing off the phone, try the working cord from the phone that did have a dial tone. If this gets your original phone working, then the problem was a faulty cord, which can easily be replaced. If this doesn't work, then you'll need a new phone. If the phone works on the other jack, then the original phone jack is likely faulty. Most carriers will not pay to repair this, which means you'll need to either fix it yourself or pay for a technician to come and check the wiring. See Install a Residential Telephone Jack for a comprehensive guide on replacing and rewiring a phone jack.
