I didn't know how to get rid of these pesky insects until now. And I know what you mean about having those fruits out to motivate the kids to eat them....Poor Trixie!

I do the same thing with fruit at my house - put it out on the island in hopes that my family will grab it, rather than the chips or crackers OR complaining that there is "nothing to eat in this house"!
