Have you ever had an infestation of phorid flies? They are like big gnats, and love to crawl across the TV or computer screen. They are attracted to rotting vegetation, drains, flower vases. They are very pesky!
We apparently have an infestation that I think came in on some bananas. Every time I open the kitchen compost receptacle, several swarm out. I have started opening it only outside, but by now flies could have found other places to reproduce. Ugh! It's not like I have piles of garbage lying around, but during garden season, we all bring in produce and have scraps from that.
We are catching some with a trap using old wine and a few drops of detergent, but they aren't as crazy about it as fruit flies are.
