Simple fixes can stop gutters from overflowing - The Boston Globe:

Q: The fruit fly trap you mentioned in a column worked very well for me, and I thank you. What’s bothering me is cat hairs on polyester clothing. I have tried everything including sticky lint rollers. Nothing works for me.

THELMA WHITE, Newton

A: The fruit fly trap is a bowl of vinegar with a few drops of oil. Be sure to use a fruit vinegar (wine or apple); the flies will ignore grain vinegars.

If nothing works for the cat hairs, the Handyman hereby puts that question out “there’’ to see if anyone has a good idea. If the hairs stick only to polyester, I know the answer: Don’t wear polyester.
