After I ate my banana and drank my Pepsi for breakfast, I built the ultimate gnat trap following your specs. I placed it in a windowsill that seems to be the local hang-out. The smell attacted the locals for sure - free food! Some of them were apparently highly educated as they quickly escaped. The others got married, settled down on _Banana Island_ and raised families. After 5 days, the commune was thriving so I sealed it off and threw it away. An interesting experiment to be sure. Unfortunately, the _Gnat Club_ on the windowsill is still a hoppin' joint. Thanks for providing me some mindless entertainment ;-).
