[Noisebridge-discuss] Killing Fruit Flies

There were some over ripe oranges on the testing station that I cut up 
and threw into the jars of vinegar. Overall, the fly problem is much, 
much better.

As far as the mice go, I saw one navigating the kitchen counter and two 
more scurrying down below on the floor. So now we have to deal with the 
mice.

Is there a humane way of ridding the space of mice? The way I handled 
Gerald was (saw him in the trash bin and carried it out to the sidewalk).

Maybe we need a new "mice" thread.

Thanks for all of your help and advice with the flies.
