Scott directed me to look for a possible frozen water tube, earlier I manually added water to the automatic ice tray and the tray was good. Thus it most likely was filling tray with water. We decided not to repair the ice maker. The cost would be about $150 (water control valves) and $150 labor. Our decision was to put the money $300 toward a new refrigerator. Ray was okay with that and made a few brand suggestions. I would not hesitate to call Ray's Appliance repair again. They were very helpful in helping us make the best solution. In the meantime we make ice the old fashion way.

Several calls had to be made before someone came. Another grub and chinch bug control was made. A receipt was not left for this visit. The lawn was clearly eaten up and the specialist that came said that we had not only grubs but also many chinch bugs. The manager said that he would take care of fixing the lawn.

Bird Control questions, answered by experts
When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.
The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.
If you’ve had a prior bat infestation or simply want to avoid having bats invade your home in the first place, there are a few steps you can take without the need for a pro.
Seal entry points, such as where your chimney meets your house, or other gaps or holes exist.
Use bat deterrents like bright lights or ultrasonic devices to force them away from your home.
Reduce bat attractions like standing water and bird nectar feeders inviting bats into your yard.
Costs depend on infestation severity, business size, treatment type, and frequency of service.
Keeping your pool cover clean is a good way to keep smaller animals from running across it or using it as shelter. Small animals may use leaf debris on top of the cover to hide. Cleaning also removes nuts that may fall from a nearby tree that could otherwise be a tempting snack for some animals, like squirrels.
No single deterrent will work 100 percent of the time, so we suggest combining deterrents to ensure your seed has the best possible chance to grow. Using bird netting over your seed, with physical deterrents like mylar tape coupled with hanging bird feeders at the edges of your growing area—and removing any bird’s nests, if possible—will give your seeds the best possible chance for success.
