I read somewhere that if you keep basil plants around, especially in
the kitchen, the flies go elsewhere. Anybody have a basis of fact for
that?

I had a lot of yellow cards in my greenhouse too. Also basil. Maybe I
should yell at Wholefoods for suggesting such. A ploy to sell their
overpriced basil plants perhaps? Or maybe if only basil plants were
there? ????
