Trash gnomes

I have decided that my room has been infested with trash gnomes.  They are sneaky little guys, who wait until you are asleep or not paying attention, and then pounce into your dresser and trashcan and throw all of the contents into the middle of the room.  

There is no amount of cleaning or poisons that can get rid of these guys.  The only hope is to try to clean so fast that they can't catch up in their efforts to make it dirty again.  Or never sleep, but that never works.
