The solution I’ve found is a temporary one, but effective. Home Depot sells a power called “Rat Magic”. It doesn’t kills them, but it does repel them. I have to reapply it after rain, but they do disappear right after I sprinkle it around. And - it smells like cloves to me, so no bad odor. - S

Re: [LincolnTalk] Why hasn’t a call from the town or the water department been made town wide to talk about the drought restrictions?

Regarding using reverse 911, I would rather not risk crying wolf too often for what I would call a serious situation and not a public emergency. If used every time the drought conditions changed, people might stop checking their voice messages. For examples of more relevant reasons to use reverse

In many cases, native plants handle unusual temperature / moisture swings better than 'exotics'. After all, they evolved in local conditions. This is especially true for well established perennials.

Hi Susan, You buy minisplits through the contractor you hire. John is right about the general costs of installed minisplits. As John said, rebates are provided via MassSave and run up to a max of $10,000. Check out the Lincoln Green Energy Committee's guidance on heat pumps at https://www.lincolngr

Hey, Susan! Three of my friends got mini splits this year, in Lexington, Arlington, and Seattle. Each one of them paid between $4000 and $5000 per room. Mass Save rebates for mini splits fall under heat pumps, which you can find out about here. They’re based on “tons”, so it would depend on how

Re: [LincolnTalk] Why hasn’t a call from the town or the water department been made town wide to talk about the drought restrictions?

I don’t think that is enough. People who live in condos don’t get water bills, since the bills are folded into their condo fees. Sandwich Boards are hard to read. I really think in this case a reverse 911 call is the way to go! After all we are looking at a result of Global Warming ! Let’s make

Re: [LincolnTalk] Why are people in Weston still irrigating their lawns?

It seems to me that a natural counterpart to having a water ban would be to use water usage rates to control the amount of water people are using. Yes, I know about the tiers. But those rates are set for non-drought circumstances. Why not temporarily alter the rates in response to the drought? I fu
