That's what I had in mind after Paintedcow's suggestion, taking garbage out every night until the problem disappears. Environmentally hostile, but only a temporary measure. Thanks for corroborating.
Just a heads up...vinegar is not the greatest thing to spray into a garbage can. It may be a high end stainless steel can, but the screws will turn into molten pulps of rust. Isopropyl alcohol is a good alternative.
