Question by Matt: What are these Small Flying Brown Insects on my closet walls?
They are about 1/3 of an inch in length. No long antennas. They fly. When not flying they look like a long slim piece of rice, but light brown. They are a slim in length shape. Their color is close to a caramel color, but maybe light browner. Really close to the middle layer of this toffee: http://www.coraleecandies.com/marketplace/images/productphotos/toffee.jpg

There was one, then I killed it, then there two and I kill them, then there were 3 and I killed them. It seems to stay steady between 1-3 per day that I wake up too. They don’t get on my clothes, they are either on the ceiling or the walls and they seem to just migrate to my closet.

I’d really like to know what these are so that I can prevent a big breakout of them. I live in utah in the downtown area. I’ve never seen these bugs outside on the walls of the condominium building. I am really confused to what they are.

I have had cedar balls in my closet for a while now(months). Also a cedar block hanging. These don’t look like moths, their wings are much slimmer than a moth.

Question by shoppits: How can I get rid of the musty smell in my old house’s built in storage areas?
I have two nice linen closet type built ins that have drawers underneath them. They are on the floor right above the crawl space. The house was built in 1925. When I put my linens in the upper shelf area they absorb a musty smell and I can’t sleep on them, I’d have to wash them before using them.

The shelves and walls inside were painted over after I got the house but that didn’t help. Below the bottom drawer on one of them is sub floor which looks like it may have openings to the crawl space (?), I could close that off I guess. And on the other one the bottom drawer was taken out and that space is used as an air return for the heater and goes directly into the heating duct.

I’m not convinced that closing off the bottom will help since they both have the smell and also some furniture I bought at a swap meet did the same thing to my clothes.

Is there something to use to treat the wood? Is that the problem? I’ve bought some cedar to put in and see if that helps…

Anyone?

take all the stuff out and let it sort of air itself out.

Question by Lisa S: what should I be looking for when viewing a 90 yr old house?
I am going with a realtor to see a house built in 1928 tomorrow. The roof was replaced 7 yrs ago, the current owners are carpenters at heart and have added many nice touches such as trim, and closet doors made out of cedar. Remodeled bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms. It could still use a little tlc but only cosmetic. The house looks like the Walton’s house, it has 6 bedrooms, living rm, dining rm, 2 full baths, kitchen w/ dishwasher and a cellar. The property includes machinery barn, 2 car garage w/ woodstove, elec., and water, a small fishing pond (used to be a stock pond) all on 3.8 acres. The only problem listed on the paper work is the cellar gets wet every time it rains and a sump pump is essential. Asking price is 105,000. New homes on a lot are between 100 and 150,000 around here. What do you think? Oh and its about fifteen minutes away from shopping etc. I think it sounds great, but my boyfriend keeps saying but its an old house. And I can expect many problems with it.
Sorry I guess I should have added within last 13 years bathrooms and kitchen completely remodeled. Windows, electric, also updated. The owners are getting elderly and are moving out of state to be closer to family. Yes I would have a detailed inspection. Thanks for all the great tips I dont want to walk in there and not see any clues do to my inexperience.

Question by love to be a mommy of 2: Rotten Egg Smell in finished basement.?
Right now my husband, our two children and I are living at my mother in laws basement temporarily, However, since almost a week ago, I have been smelling a foul odor in the basement, and it hits you once you open the door, the problem is I can’t pin-point exactly where the smell is coming from. The smell is strong in the cedar closet, and the stairs, but it seems that the smell is everywhere. There is no bathroom downstairs, or sink, and I have the baby’s diaper pail empty. I have cleaned everything, almost obsessively to try to get rid of the smell. This really isn’t my house so I am not sure what else to do, can anyone help, or have any ideas as to what it could be?

Best answer:

Answer by Saul B
I had that experience with a house I recently bought. During the inspection we noticed that there was a rotten egg odor coming from one of the drains (the basement is unfinished). If you can find out whether or not there is a drain in the basement floor that may solve your question. Sometimes the seals underneath the drains wear out and that leads to sewer gas backing up into the pipe… generally there should be a water trap in the pipe that will prevent this but that’s not always the case. If the smell is coming from an area with a drain I would call a plumber to come take a look at it.
