I had a fruit fly problem both in the kitchen and in the basement (cats litter boxes are located there). I put up a couple of fly strips, and I haven't seen any new fruit flies hanging around. Just an idea, but make sure your ferrets can't get ahold of it. -- Vicki L. Henderson-aka-Ferret Fanatic Buzz, Woody, Miss Tizzy, Ginger & General Kaos!
