I think the previous cemomnt was about Sunil’s great post on dosas and not this post on flies.

I keep the lid about 1/2 way on the container and then sneek up on it and hurry and shut the lid. then I take it outside. I was just opening the lid and letting them fly away, but then I started wondering if they are somehow getting back in, because I seem to always have them and cant seem to get rid of them. So I started leaving them out in the cold 18-20 degree weather overnight. I have not tried microwave yet, but sounds like a good idea.

The baits mentioned worked for me but not as well as a piece of banana or banana peel. They love that stuff. Any trap should be peiodically emptied or cleaned. I like to put it in the freezer to kill the bugs inside and then return with the same bait. Freezing does not make the bait unattractive at all, at least not bananas which I freeze for future bait.

If you want, you can even keep some damp newspaper on top.
