    I've seen a few little black bugs inside today - tiny. They can fly - not a gnat, but similar. I HATE bugs - especially inside! I'm freaky about insects. There isn't anything out that should attract them - no fruit or whatever. Never seen them before - anyone else have any? No way to spray them:x

    Yes, I have been invaded as well. Fruit flies or drain flies I guess. You have to trap them, and get rid of all food and water sources laying around. Food sources can be anything from soap scum gunk in your shower to gunk in your drains - ie: organic material.

    To trap, set out half a wine cooler or make a paper funnel and tape it inside a glass filled with apple cider vinegar. Put saran wrap over the glass, poke a hole, then insert the funnel and tape off all openings. A few inches in the bottom ofthe glass should do it.

    Fruit fly's

    Even with my birds I don't have a problem with them..but I do know of others that do..not sure what they do to get rid of them.

    Thanks a bunch - nasty things. You can barely see them, which is what really creeps me out! I'll be trapping!
