I have cleaned and done EVERYTHING I can think of and they're multiplying like crazy. I feel like I have to bomb the house. I really don't want to but it's getting out of hand.
I'll try that, thank you! I have the ones from the store and they like those but it's not getting all of them.
I don't have anything like that in the house. I think it may be something in the garbage disposal but I poured all kinds of <edit> down there and they still popped back up and with a vengeance.
Fruit flies or gnats? I guess I don't know for sure, they're some kind of small flying bug. And I'm positive I don't have anything left around, my house is the cleanest it's ever been lol.
The reason I asked, because I wonder if they might be a type of gnat. My gf is big into houseplants and I was getting these fungus gnats for a while. They live and reproduce in the damp soil of houseplants. Once figuring out what they were, I was able to get control of the situation. That’s why I was questioning about the fruit flies, because generally they spring up from things not being picked up or cleaned.
This. See attached photo of "our" Sciaridae we had. I had these "infest" a Chromatopelma enclosure - of all things. Turned out one must have managed to lay eggs at the one slightly damp spot: the substrate under the waterdish, at just the right time (I overflow the dish just a little every two weeks or so, otherwise the enclosure is bone dry). They came from the plant pots we have all over the place. Now, if I say "infested", I mean there were about 10 of them within the enclosure at the max.
This, my dad used to have a little pedal bin in his kitchen that he'd chuck fruit/vegetable waste in (instead of immediately taking it out to chuck in the garden composters) and a mangy old natural fibre rug in the dining room, and he'd wonder why there were fruit flies/fungus gnats and carpet moths everywhere.
