S ummer is a great time to be outdoors, lounging around a pool with barbeque cook-

ing. Flies, wasps and other pests seem to think so, too. These pests are attracted to the smells outside and often come inside as you open and close the door. This article will describe a few simple traps you can make to keep the pests at bay.

Many people seem to believe that putting a penny in a bag of water and hanging it up will repel flies. Unfortunately, this has not been scientifically proven.

A simple inexpensive bottle funnel trap does work on flies and other pests and is made with an empty 2-liter bottle. Cut the top of the bottle below the neck, invert into the body as a funnel (with no cap), and attach it with tape or glue.

Poke small holes at in the top sides so it can be hung up on a tree branch. Hang it about 4 to 5 feet above the ground.

Just toss the full buggy bottle out or clean it for reuse. Wait until the flies (or wasps) are dead before opening if cleaning it. Filling the bottle with water and some soap will kill them.

Bait the trap with various foods and liquids depending on what you want to trap. For houseflies, you can bait it with sugar water. If you see flies that have a shiny or metallic back, it is most likely blow or bottle flies. Those types of flies are attracted to protein baits, like hamburger in some water. Rest assured, the meat in the bottle won’t make the area smell.

A slice of ripe fruit like banana

in water, cider vinegar, beer, or wine is great for attracting tiny fruit flies. Add a drop of soap to the liquid to reduce the surface tension and drown small flies. For controlling fruit flies inside, I’ve made a mini version of this using a smaller bottle and placed it on the countertop. These baits also work on yellow jackets, hornets, and paper wasps at this time of year.

This trap can even work on mosquitoes and no-see-ums. Since these pests are attracted to us, or rather our CO2 that leads to us, you simulate this by baiting with a sugar solution made with non-chlorinated or pre-boiled water and brewer’s years (1 cup water, quarter-cup sugar, and 1 gram year per 2-liter bottle). It may take a few hours to start producing sufficient CO2 through the funnel. After it stops bub-bling, add more sugar and yeast to continue the flow. Since mosqui-toes are attracted to dark colors, paint the upper part of the trap black or add black tape to increase effectiveness.

For controlling deer flies, yellow flies and horse flies, you can make the “trolling deer fly

trap,” which was developed at the University of Florida.

Simply paint a 6-inch plastic nursery pot bright blue and cover it with sticky viscous material such as Tanglefoot, which is often available at garden stores.

These flies are attracted to movement, so place it on a slow moving vehicle, like a riding lawn mower.

An alternative is hanging a black ball with Tanglefoot on a lower branch of a tree in a windy spot.

This is just a few of the many traps that you can make at home. For photos of the traps described in this article or other traps for household and landscape pests, check out the EDIS article called “Do-It-Yourself Insect Pest Traps” at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in1103.

Enjoy your summer as pest-free as you can and start saving your bottles.

Professional cleaning is a “must do” expense for home selling. HANDOUT/TNS

By Cathy HobbsTribune News Service

Summer is typically a slower time of year when it comes to home sales, but for some home sellers, summer can also signal a season of opportunity. While the summer is often a time when sellers may see less activity because of summer travel plans, for those buyers looking to secure the perfect home before a new school year rolls around, the search is often in earnest. The result, a potential win-ning opportunity for both summer sellers and buyers. For sell-ers looking to separate themselves from the competition and stand-out from a crowd, there are a number of prepara-tion tips that they can incorporate in order to try to sell their home for

top dollar in the shortest amount of time.

Preparing your property

Preparing your prop-erty for sale should take place prior to the prop-erty being photographed or ever presented to market. In the days of the internet and digital photography, old pho-tographs can linger for years and hurt a sale. Beyond basic repairs, there are a number of approachable upgrades that a seller can imple-ment during the sale of their home.

■ Replace flooring or a countertop

■ Replace carpeting or steam clean carpeting

■ Repaint using neutral colors such as taupe or gray

■ Replace door knobs

Q: I have a painting titled “Lingering Shadows” painted by W.C. Emerson in 1931 and purchased by my grandfa-ther in Chicago. I wish to sell it. What would be my best method to obtain the highest price? I suspect it is probably worth around $4,000.

W.C. Emerson is not an artist with a whole lot of imagination, least wise every painting of his that I have seen, looks like mine with a tiny variation. It is still in the origi-nal frame and my grandfather purchased it directly from him for $500. Grandfather was a supporter of the arts during the Depression and bought a lot of artwork and commis-sioned several portraits of family members from various Chicago artists. I know it is authentic.

I just need to know the best method of getting it sold. I do not know how much interest there is in this particular artist or his work. I have attached a couple of photos, the flash makes it looks like a sun, but there is no sun in the picture. — K.L., Internet

A: W.C. Emerson, 1865–1937, was born in England. He spent his career in Connecticut and Chicago. Emerson’s spe-cialty was Tonalist landscapes often with children frolicking in wooded scenes. He was a

member of many artist associa-tions, the New York Watercolor Club, the Chicago Watercolor Association, and more. I think your painting would sell in the $1,000 to $2,000 range. It would be better to hold on to it for now. If you are determined to sell, contact Swann Auction Galleries at www.swanngaller-ies.com.

Q: I read your article every

day during the winter. I am sending you pictures of a lamp that was among the things my aunt left. It appears to be brass with a marble base and a round circle between the brass. It has a globe trim with gold. The four cherub face each way. It is quite tall, probably close to 2 feet. There is no writing on it. Can you, please give me any information on it. — M.P., Ocklawaha

A: The lamp you have was made in the 20th century but does not display Modern design. The overall style is taken from the Victorian

era. Therefore, there is no specific collector inter-est. Potential dollar value is catch-as-catch-can.

Q: I was wondering if you

could give me an idea of the value of this book “The Birds of America” by John James Audubon. It is in great shape except for the faded book cover. I really appreciate any information you can give me. — J.C., Internet

A: There is no specific collector interest in your Audubon book because it was published in 1942. The original edition was published in the early 19th century. Potential dollar value is catch-as-catch-can.

Q: I love your program

and your responsiveness as an invaluable resource to us Gainesville and Ocala folks who wonder about our antiques! I have two bubble glass pieces from 1920s photos and one frame. The glass pieces measure 13-¾ inches by 19-¾ as closely as I can measure. Both are in great condition.

The frame is not original to the glass but fits perfectly. Someone has painted it gold. It is also in great condition and measures 18-⅞ inches by 24-⅞ . We did not keep the

family photos that had been in them since they were dete-riorated and also for privacy issues. I would love to sell them to give my mom a bit of extra spending money, but if that doesn’t work out, I would be happy for someone who can use them for their family photos to have them.

How do you suggest I pro-ceed in finding them a new home? I have thought of selling on-line and contacting local frame or antique shops, but I am not sure about the possible success of any of these. Thanks

for your guidance! — M.B., Internet

A: I suggest you donate them to hospice or a charity of your choice.

Professional cleaningProfessional cleaning

should top the list as far as “must do” expenditure for home selling. The reality is most buyers are turned off by a home that does not appear to be well maintained or cared for, and some may consider an untidy or perceived dirty home as unattractive.

Professional cleaning

companies typically offer a “deep clean” type service which will help ensure that your property is spic and span and spar-kling “like a new penny” for potential buyers.

Home stagingHome staging is a key

tool when it comes to home selling. In fact, many savvy home sellers and real estate agents insist on always using home staging as a mar-keting tool. While many television shows and numerous articles have helped to educate home sellers on staging, there are some basic home staging elements that anyone can incorporate into their home selling process.

What is Staging?■ Neutralizing. When

it comes time to sell your home, neutral colors are best as opposed to per-sonal colors.

■ De-personalizing. Be sure to remove personal photos and mementos, so buyers focus on your space as opposed to your personal belongings.

■ Creating broad appeal. When it comes time to sell your home, you will want to appeal to the largest amount

of potential buyers as opposed to a narrow audience.

■ Highlighting the positives, downplaying the negatives.

■ Not decorating. Staging is performed in order to sell a home and appeal to potential buyers, while decorating is geared toward the per-sonal taste of a current home owner.

■ A key marketing tool.

Q: Hi Ed, We are plan-ning to install a separate shower and a large "bath-ing only" tub in our new bathroom. Like most jobs we are on a budget and I noticed that a bath filler faucet valve is a lot more money than a standard bathroom faucet. My question is can we just use a two handle bath-room faucet to fill the new bathtub in place of a pricey bath filler set up?

A: If you're looking to install a separate bath tub there is a very good reason why you should use a bath filler. Basi-cally, it all gets down to water flow, and bath

fillers provide increased water flow over stan-dard bathroom faucets. Bathroom faucets are designed to provide enough water flow into a sink for washing hands or brushing teeth. In many cases water-saving bathroom faucets can be installed on bathroom sinks because an even slower flow of water may still do the job while the faucet is running. There's no reason for unnecessary water to be wasted down the drain. However, the purpose of a bath tub filler is to fill a large vessel with water in a reasonable time frame, not to run the water into an open drain line. Plus, you want the hot water

to still be hot by the time the bathtub is full. Bottom line: An under-flow of water to your new tub can get you knee deep in trouble!

It was your aver-age day at work when my phone pinged with a text from my friend Michelle: “Come over for the sunset!” On the spur of the moment, Michelle decided not to let the gorgeous summer eve-ning go uncelebrated. So she sent a quick text to a few friends inviting us over for a spontaneous get-together. A much-too-rare chance to stop everything and seize the moment. To laugh and gab as we melted into west-ward facing lawn chairs, watching the day wane in an explosion of colors.

That evening, I had an epiphany. How often do I toss aside my endless

to-do list and allow myself to just pause and be awestruck by nature? To be fully in the moment, relaxing with people I love? Not nearly enough. So I am turning over a new leaf. I want that sweet, simple eve-ning to be a touchstone, a reminder that life is fleeting and fabulous, and we need to embrace its simplest and most sublime moments every chance we get.

This Fourth of July holiday weekend was my first chance to be the one to say, “Come over for the sunset.” My sister Judy was flying in to stay with us at the cottage for the long weekend. I knew she would relish a sunset moment just as much as I had.

Michelle had kept our impromptu gathering simple, easy and achiev-able after a long day at work. When Dan and I dropped by around 7 p.m., we drank a glass of wine and ordered pizza. No fuss. No worries. But since I had a few days before Judy arrived, I decided to make our sunset celebra-tion special, spoiling my sis just a bit.

Normally when Judy comes, she’s lucky if I have any food in the fridge or toilet paper. So this time, I blew her away when I not only had plenty of toilet paper, I had also planned a lovely evening for us, catching up while we watched the sunset by the lake.

Seizing the moment: Come over for the sunset

SEE STYLE, 14


By Neal J. LeiteregLos Angeles Times (TNS)

LOS ANGELES — Readying the crib is a common task for most expectant parents, but in the case of Adam Levine, he’s put his up for sale. The singer-songwriter and his wife, model Behati Prinsloo, have listed their home in the Beverly Crest area for $17.5 million.

Reached by a winding and gated drive, the sin-gle-story house recently saw a top-to-bottom renovation that deviated from its original ranch design in favor of a more contemporary flavor.

Living spaces have been transformed into an open plan and feature vaulted ceilings, rows of skylights and exposed beams. Sliding walls of glass bring views of the grounds and the sur-rounding canyons inside.

A great room with a stone-clad fireplace, a media room, a den/library and a gym/spa lie within the 7,100 square feet of interiors. A chef’s kitchen draws the eye with vibrant zebrawood cabinetry. There are five bedrooms and seven bathrooms in all.

Elsewhere on the property is a custom two-story garage that has an elevator with a motorized car lift; Levine is an avid motorcyclist. A game/car room with a speakeasy-style bar also sits in the garage. A swimming pool, a spa, a lighted basketball court

and mature landscap-ing make up the nearly 4-acre setting. A motor court sits off the home’s entrance.

Levine bought the house four years ago for $4.83 million, records show. He and Prinsloo, who are expecting their first child later this year, married in 2014.

Levine, 37, is the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Grammy-winning band Maroon 5. He has appeared on “The Voice” since 2011.

‘Vampire’ actor is fl ipping the script

Paul Wesley of “The Vampire Diaries” fame has put his contempo-rary-style home in the Studio City hills up for sale at $2.245 million.

It was just a year ago that the actor bought the Jay Vanos-designed house from Charlie Gill-ingham of the Counting Crows. Since then, he’s paid great attention to the interiors, adding a Sonos system, new cabi-netry, custom drapes and an in-wall home theater. The grounds have also been redone with out-door lighting and a 1-ton stone fountain imported from Asia.

Built in 2010, the 3,240-square-foot house has a clean look, with gallery walls, vaulted truss ceilings and light bamboo floors through-out. Clerestories, walls of windows and multiple decks take in city and mountain views.

Open-plan living and

dining rooms, a chef’s kitchen with walnut cabinetry, a library/den and an office are among the common areas. The master suite features remote-controlled blinds and a fireplace, for a total of four bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Outdoors, hedged and fenced grounds are filled with mature trees, lawns and a private hiking trail. A three-car garage sits off the gated entrance.

Wesley, 33, has appeared on “The Vam-pire Diaries” since 2009. His other television credits include “Ever-wood,” “24” and “Army Wives.”

He will appear in the upcoming Kevin Pollak comedy “The Late Bloomer.”

Diplo brings the party to the hills

Grammy-winning disc jockey, producer and songwriter Thomas Pentz, known by his stage name Diplo, has bought a Hollywood Hills house for $2.425 million.

The four-story contemporary in the Beachwood Canyon area makes the most of its site, with walls of glass and outdoor terraces taking in city, canyon and ocean views.

A top-floor master suite and adjoining balcony center on the Hollywood sign and ocean.

The 2,500 square feet of white-walled interi-ors include a first-floor studio and two additional

master suites on the second level. Open-plan living and dining rooms and a modern kitchen fill the third floor.

A courtyard with a succulents wall and a cedar hot tub extends off the second level.

There’s also a two-car garage.

The house was listed for sale at $2.449 million or for lease at $12,500 a month, records show. It previously changed hands five years ago for $560,000.

Diplo, 37, and his col-laborative partner Skrillex won a pair of Grammy Awards this year for their dance/electronic album “Jack U” and the single “Where Are U Now,” which featured Justin Bieber. He co-founded electronic music group Major Lazer in 2008.

Reining in his real estate portfolio

Screenwriter and producer Alan Ball, who put his compound in Hollywood Hills up for sale earlier this year, is looking to pare down his portfolio even further. He’s put his equestrian estate in Ojai’s East End neighborhood on the market for $5.89 million.

Set across a cresting hilltop, the Mediter-ranean retreat takes in sprawling views of the Ojai Valley floor, sur-rounding vistas and a nearby reservoir.

Forty acres of grounds include horse facilities, a two-room office/studio, a covered dog run, an

aviary, native landscap-ing and trails.

In the main house, built in 1960 and since updated, there’s a living room with vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace, a family/media room and a chef’s kitchen with a long island.

Saltillo tile, rustic fix-tures and warming hues lend a pastoral note to the 4,336 square feet of interior space.

An upstairs master suite has a separate dressing room, for a total of three bedrooms and four full bathrooms.

French doors off the master bedroom open to a balcony overlooking the grounds.

Outdoors, a cobble-stone patio sits off the family room and kitchen areas.

Lawns, drought-tol-erant flora, citrus groves and mature oaks com-plete the scenic setting.

The house last changed hands five years ago for $3.34 million, property records show.

Ball, 59, is known for writing “American Beauty.”

The Oscar and Emmy winner created and pro-duced the series “True Blood” and “Six Feet Under.”

His other producer credits include the TV show “Banshee” (2013-15).

His Hollywood Hills home is currently listed for sale at $8.25 million.

Teeny house yields a sizable profi t

French film director Louis Leterrier, whose credits include “Trans-porter” (2002) and “The Incredible Hulk” (2008), has sold his quaint home in Venice for $4.95 million.

At just 784 square feet in size, that works out to about $6,314 per square foot (or $2.475 million per bedroom) for the two-bedroom bungalow built in the early 1920s.

It was undoubtedly the potential for future development that sold the buyer.

The red-painted home on a walk street occupies a coveted double lot of slightly less than 7,000 square feet.

On the Westside of Los Angeles, particularly in the Venice area, that kind of room to move usually will command a higher price than the structure itself.

As for Leterrier, he nearly doubled his money on the sale. Prop-erty records show that the filmmaker bought the home three years ago from actor Harris Yulin for $2.7 million.

Leterrier, 43, directed the recently released comedy “The Brothers Grimsby,” which stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Rebel Wilson and Mark Strong.

Among his other screencredits is “Unleashed” (2005) and “Clash of the Titans” (2010).

He reportedly will direct an adaptation of “The Fireman,” a novel by Stephen King’s son Joe Hill.

HOT PROPERTY

Baby-bumped out of their crib?


Like most big sisters, Judy has opened my eyes to a lot of things. She’s the one who gave me my first sip of Champagne. So I had to get a bottle of our favorite bubbly to pop open while we relaxed and dined on the dock.

Judy and I are always officially on a diet. But just in case our resolve

waned just a bit after a glass or two of Cham-pagne, I wanted to have a delightful dessert on hand. So I ordered petite cakes from The French Bee, my favorite neigh-borhood purveyor of all things mouth-watering. These melt-in-your-mouth delicacies were worth every single calorie.

I have resolved to do more sunsets. I hope you will too. Your sunset

celebration can be as effortless as a last-min-ute invite to a few dear friends, no worries about having to cook a meal or clean your house.

Or, you can plan a light summer snack, like fresh fruit and an assortment of cheese. Even the simplest of fare looks fantastic when you serve it in lovely bowls, like we did here at Innisfree. Dan and I like to keep Sancerre, a light French wine, chilled

and ready for summer evenings outside. If wine isn’t your thing, toss some cucumbers and fresh basil in a pitcher and top it with chilled water for a wonderfully refresh-ing summer drink.

But don’t let the food or beverages or table treat-ment be the main thing. The main thing is this: stopping in the moment, reveling in nature’s daily miracle, drinking in the joy of friendship.
