The Komodo dragon uses its tongue to taste and smell like many other reptiles. They have a special part of the body called the Jacobson's organ for smelling. With the help of a good wind, they can smell dead animals from 4â9.5 kilometres (2.5â6 mi) away.
Do-it-yourself efforts might cost $10-$75 or more. A flange, ball or funnel-cup plunger costs $10-$25; a toilet auger (also called a closet auger or a water closet auger) can cost $8-$60 with an average price of $20-$30; and a new wax toilet ring can cost $2-$10.
1 An average sump pump (pedestal or submersible) for a typical home runs about $100-$300 depending on the horsepower, materials (plastic is less expensive than cast iron or stainless steel), flow rate and the height the water needs to be lifted to discharge it. A submersible sump pump costs more and only lasts 5-15 years, but is typically quieter and less obtrusive than a pedestal model. 2  Both types of sump pumps range in horsepower from a quarter to 1HP; a 1/3HP sump pump is standard for most homes.
