I have these things that look like baby flies |
|
attacking my computer screen. I got rid of 4 in the last hour. Just sprayed yard and house. What are these things? How do you get rid of these annoyances?

I went out of town for a week and forgot I had bananas. The suckers were all over the place.

They may be knats / gnats are hard to get rid of...they seem to appear if you have any small plumbing leak or where it might be damp.

8. Do gnats look like baby flies? |
|
I don't know where I have a leak, water bill the same, no puddles outside. I had them during the summer when it was over a 100
Do baby flies look like fleas? My dogs are not showing signs of fleas though and I am not either.
These just look like pesky baby flies.

and sprayed yesterday and today, dang I just got rid of two on my screen.
Would these critters appear if maybe there is mildew around here? This has been a big topic in my area. Just wondering.
