The Woodstrcami consultants note that by understanding the habits of un- wanted pests, a homeowner's pro- blems can be virtually elimninated. Houseflies, for instance, are attracted to the odor o[ decaying [ood. Insects [ced and breed there, s0 good sanita- tion and housekeeping wilI eliminate a big part of the problem. Sanitation oudoors such as hosing garbage cans regularly and closing their lids tightly also will help to eliminate housefly inf'estation. But Woodstream warns that some homeowners may still find themselves with an unusually large population of the [Iying pests. In this case, they recommend the Victor(* Fly-ln Saucer naI, a surprisingly simple device recently developed to eliminate flues. The Fly-ln Saucer, an outdoor fly trap, takes advantage o[' the natural biological habits o[ the insects and uises themi against the pests.
