Little black flies - is anyone else getting them? And how do I get rid of them?
We seem to have loads of small black flies (or 'thrips' as my elderly parent calls them). They are concentrated in the kitchen and bathroom. I noticed a few in the pub we had lunch in too, and I don't think they got there in my handbag! We keep tropical fish so air borne sprays are out of the question. Anyone got any idea how to get rid of them?
I think they are bar flies, I'm not sure of their real name . But lots of bars suffer from this problem. They breed or hatch out in standing water. You may have puddles of water in hard to find places, under the cooker , fridge etc..You have to find the source, as they wont go away until you have found their breeding ground.
