I'm told that people used to throw them under their
houses (back when all houses around here on on a pier
& beam foundation.)  The odor of the rotting fruit
kept insects (and probably would keep any of us!) our
of the house.

Not sure how they stopped the trees from growing under
there though, since they are such a hearty species.
