We, (Q-Man), thank yas all. From the mail, I would think an aerosol spray consisting of vanilla vinegar mixed with a smidgen of pine oil might be useful. If someone makes it---I'll try it.
   It would be useful if effective before closing the zip-lock bag. If the smell is done-for in the bag, one need not worry about suicases or trunks.
