I tried those traps and they did not work for me at all. What did work was
the mushy banana in the zip top bag. Leave the bag open, let them fly in,
close the bag and squish them. You need to replace this at least every day
to get rid of any eggs they may have laid.

And perhaps the spray may work on them but... What should I have done?
Sprayed my loaf of bread and the bread box? Nah. The bread box is going
off to Value Village. I got a couple of Rubbermaid ones today. They will
work but they are very long.

Now to figure out how to keep Jetta out of the bread. She had the nerve to
jump up on a cart right in front of me, take a sniff of the still warm loaf
and try to sink her teeth into it. I swear that cat will eat anything!
