Because they are a bloody nuisance, I have them up north.

I use several odor deterrents. First, I put all food that is allowed, down the garbage disposal. I have a strong unit (Chatbrat recommended) so even chicken bones are fine. But not stringy stuff like banana peels. Then, I use lavender scented kitchen bags. I like the scent, the insects don’t. My garbage is left alone. But sometimes the renter next door puts out garbage with food in it and birds attack it etc. so I spray their bags with Lysol. Then the bags are left alone. If I catch renter sometime, I’ll mention it to them, but there is a regular turn over of people next door and I can’t always get to them.
