Does your cat have accidents on your carpet?

Maybe they are not accidents at all. Cats can be upset or irritated, or older cats may simply have trouble with their bladders. Most times it is younger cats marking their territory or even offering up a little payback as a disgruntled pet.

What is important is to reclaim your home and keep it fresh and clean smelling so you can enjoy it rather than being mad at the perpetrator!

Oakville GE Light Bulb Plant Demolished

The notice went out in 2009 that the GE light bulb factory was closing down and along with it went about 150 local jobs. The reason was that with the popularity of new style light bulbs, there was less worldwide demand for the older type along with overproduction.



With the demolition came concerns of handling not only asbestos found in the rubble but also mercury as needed in light bulb production. The company hired to take care of the environmentally sensitive demolition and cleanup has taken necessary precautions to safeguard the surrounding buildings and area.
