Well, trash bags already attract flies anyways. May as well have them lined with flypaper on the inside. Just a little bit near the top, facing inwards to reduce the likelihood of trash sticking to it. Doing this in a cheap way that actually works is not necessarily so easy and obviously just keeping
trash covered perfectly is better.

This is a brilliant idea. |
|
| |
Sometimes I set up a "decoy" bit o' food on a plate, to trick the little bastards, (flies), so that I can enjoy my sandwich while sitting out of doors. |
|
| |
This would be great. I could do double duty with it. Decoy and trash at once. +! |

This needs to be *unscented* flypaper; otherwise the risk is you may attract flies to your garbage when they wouldn't have discovered it on their own. |
|
| |
Curious as to how you'll stop it sticking to the other side of the bag, sealing it shut? Flypaper is VERY sticky. |

Put it inside a cardboard tube, like the core out of bogroll ? |

Good in theory, but I agree with UB, tough to implement. The key is when to peel off the cover. |
|
| |
I'd also make sure it was very attractive to flies. Reducing their numbers is a Good Thing*** |

*** Good Thing:
n.,adj. [very common; often capitalized; always pronounced as if capitalized.]
1. Self-evidently wonderful to anyone in a position to notice: "A language that manages dynamic memory automatically for you is a Good Thing."
2. Something that can't possibly have any ill side-effects and may save considerable grief later: "Removing the self-modifying code from that shared library would be a Good Thing."
3. When said of software tools or libraries, as in "YACC is a Good Thing", specifically connotes that the thing has drastically reduced a programmer's work load. Oppose Bad Thing. |
