What is the best way to get latex paint out of carpet? We recently had some painters paint our house and we later found they had dripped a little paint in one room. Some is white ceiling paint and some is the blue wall paint. I believe it is berber carpet.

How can I best get squirrels out of my attic and repair their hole? We recently moved into a house and have a problem with squirrels in the attic. They have access to the full attic and I can tell they have been through it but they seem to be doing a lot of traveling down the eaves. From all of the noise I get the feeling there are a number of them. We saw them going in and out of the hole in the photo I attached. I know I have some trees around the house to trim back to cut down on their access to the roof. Have you found any methods that work best to get them out of the attic? Also I am wondering what the best materials or methods would be to repair their hole?

I would start with making sure your attic has adequate ventilation.
