Home Goods

(3 reviews)

I stopped by this location on my way to Madison and had a lovely shopping experience! Earlier in…read morethe day I was at another Home Goods in Illinois, so perhaps comparing the two, I really appreciated this store? It was not terribly busy and customers felt spaced enough apart. The markings on the floor are helpful, although people ignore them sometimes. The employees wear masks and require customers to do the same. It felt like a good and safe shopping experience. The store as clean and had great selection. They were stocked on some St. Patrick's and Easter goods for the holiday. They had a great pet selection! I was very happy to shop here and glad I came.

Alright y'all! Last year when I first moved here in September I was hella depressed. Within two…read moredays, the most important person in the world to me died, and then I moved away from all of my friends. This was one of the first stores I went to, and I bought a wine glass I still adore, and two candles that I really enjoyed. I'm still dealing with my regular depression, and still grieving deeply, I don't know if that part will ever stop (sorry to make this a bummer story about me, enough of that), but I'm back to writing Yelp reviews a bit more steadily again, and I'm trying to go out more again. I went back here, and decided it really did deserve a good review, and some pictures of their regular stuff, and how amazing their seasonal stuff can be!! I've always thought that Michael's had the best indoor Halloween stuff, but you have to wait until you have a coupon, or for that ONLY ONE WEEK where certain items of it are 30% off. Y'all, I was so very, very wrong. Home Goods KNOWS BETTER! Not only do they know better? They're also priced so, so much more affordably! Especially considering how much inflation is going on in the rest of the world! I was legit SHOCKED at how inexpensive and reasonable some of this stuff was! Jaw dropping good prices that you would not find anywhere else for this! I'm nigh broke until next month, but thanks to my caring shopping companion, and how surprised we were by the price on some things, I actually got home with two amazing items that were a combined $25! I got a giant hollowed out magnetic closure case with a beautiful image of two gorgeous skeletons on it (last one on the shelf, my hope for y'all that they stock more ) that was a mere $15!!! Listen, I love boxes that look like books. I've even wanted those plain looking ones from Michael's before that just have a map, or worse, a floral pattern on them, just because I think they're so neat. But at Michaels those are like $45-65 dollars, and god forbid you ever find a seasonal one, it'll be waaaay more. To get such a gorgeous, unique one for such a deal? I could hardly believe it! Then? Well, then they had the most beautiful appetizer plates I've ever seen, also available in full size, but I like using small plates, and four of them was only $10 for the app plates, and $20 for the full size. Amazing. I probably would have gone with both if my bank account was sitting pretty, but I might just have to come back next month and see if they're still there! Until then, I'm elated with what I got! I love that they have both sanitizing cart wipes, and hand sanitizer at the entrance, then available at all checkout locations as well! Super conscious, considerate, cool, and caring! Covid is again on the rise, and y'all don't want it. Not to mentions various other communicable diseases or just random cooties! I know I've gone on a lot about the spooky stuff here, but my mom got a tri panel wall art piece for her office from here earlier in the year. Whether you come for the seasonal, or for the year round goodies, this place is a good place to come for many different things for your home. Need a bookshelf? Rug? Chair? Desk? Pillow? Cookware? Decor? Candles? Something else? It's probably here! The employees were all very amicable and friendly as well! Delightful.

Kwik Kill Pest Control - Pest Control Madison

Kwik Kill Pest Control

Can you tell you how HAPPY I am to not wipe up mouse $h!t on a weekly basis anymore???…read more I'm a huge animal lover married to a vegetarian, so when hubs and I discovered mice in the house, we tried to deal with the problem the way us Madison tree-huggers do: by using live traps and some "alternative methods" we found online. Maybe they're called alternative methods because they're the alternative to effective methods? Hmmmm....maybe cedar shavings and peppermint-oil-soaked cotton balls aren't solid pest control? After literally YEARS with no luck whatsoever, hubs & I finally caved and got professional help. I wish I would've made this call about 4 years ago! I chose this company because it's a local family business, not a huge corporate chain. I also liked that they have a female technician. It means A LOT to me because I work in a male-dominated, very dirty job, and society needs to see more women in these roles. When I called Kwik Kill they were very polite offered to come out the very next day. Bonus points right there. They gave me a very accurate estimate over the phone (another bonus) and arrived in a normal looking hatchback vehicle (BIG bonus). I mention the car because I was a little worried that they'd pull up in a huge flashy van with either a big, bold logo on all the sides, or big mouse ears or 3-D bugs glued to the roof which would inform the entire neighborhood that we have a serious mouse problem. ;D Big sigh of relief there! Our dogs are notorious for catching rodents, plus we have a lot of hawks and owls in our neighborhood. Naturally I was very concerned when I learned that poison was going to be used. Kwik Kill explained that the dogs or other predators would have to eat a significant number of poisoned mice to cause any harm to them, which put me at ease. They explained how it works using SCIENCE & FACTS, not "Eh, don't worry about it." (More bonus points!) They also didn't use snap traps or glue traps, which are particularly cruel and inhumane. Our technician placed the bait boxes in areas where our dogs had zero chance of getting at them. (More bonus points.) Then the tech filled in all the holes around the foundation where a mouse could squeeze into the house. He gave us some info like what NOT to put in our bird feeders. Like I said, we love wild animals...when they're outside. A few days after setting up the bait boxes, we didn't see ANY sign of mice whatsoever. Not only do I not have to wipe up mouse $h!t on a weekly basis, but I also don't have to hide the butter in the toaster oven anymore! I feel THAT confident leaving it on the counter! The worst part of the experience was dealing with the smell that followed. I blame myself and hubs for waiting too long to get professional help. Like I said, we should've called Kwik Kill years ago. Before we called we were catching between 1-4 mice at a time in our live trap, so that's on US for allowing things to get out of hand. Thankfully the smell was kept in the basement, where we only go to do laundry. Hubs & I went through everything looking for the nest/bodies. We only found 2 dried-out dead mice. Just to be on the safe side, we threw them in the trash so that neighborhood hawks wouldn't eat them. Even after all that, the smell was still present a couple days later, even with the air purifier running. Then, like music to my ears, Kwik Kill called to schedule a follow up. I'd completely forgotten that they were going to do that! When Breanna came out to check the traps, I mentioned that we couldn't find any more mice but that the smell was so strong that the air purifier couldn't get rid of it 100%. She explained that the dead mice might be inside or behind our insulation and that's why we couldn't find more. She also said we shouldn't be tearing through fiberglass anyway. I completely agreed with her expert & professional opinion. I work in the building trades and fiberglass is NOT fun to deal with! The 2 mice we found were dried out, meaning no fluids oozing into woodwork, etc. If our issue was with rats, squirrels, or anything larger, I'd suit up and dig through the fiberglass to protect my home. Breanna assured me that the smell would start to go away soon, but in the meantime she set up odor neutralizers, which started to work immediately. I'm not exaggerating-it was like night and day difference! In hindsight I should've called them about this sooner. And because some people can be sensitive to smells, Breanna had the foresight to ask if I was okay with the smell before arranging the odor neutralizers. OMG!!! Could I rave any MORE about how wonderful this family-owned, female-empowering, local business is??? Probably, but I'm hungry and want to make some toast. I'm going to use butter on it...butter that's been sitting untouched on the counter.

Called them about a Yellow Jackets nest, where the little bastard's were getting into my basement…read morethrough the foundation. They killed them, and explained that some larvae may find its way into the house when it hatches. They were efficient, on-time, and pro-active (I would have called again had they not mentioned the larvae). My house is Yellow Jacket free, and the hole has been patched.
