They can't get out of a yogurt container? I've
had them get out of a 32 gal trash can! Am I
missing something here? I'd love it if that
worked.

Amy, this is a little experiment i did a year ago
and it worked like a
charm. Take a large yogurt container, bury it to
the brim in the ground,
put an apple core in the bottom, and cover but
prop the cover up enuff to
let the little devils in. Any rotting fruit attracts
them and they fall
into the bottom and can't get out. You could
put one container inside
another so that you can pull the inside out to
dispose of the victims
without the sides collapsing. Worked well in
my greenhouse. I hope the bait
will lure them away from the plants for you.
