I’ll probably just vote Republican, but that means we’ll all have to put up with them for 6 more months.

I’ve seen some here too lately. Very small, almost gnat sized. Hard to kill except with a spray. I think it is a holdover from the warm winter. I have a bug zapper, but they’re too small for it.

Yourself of them? Or your yard.. Sounds like fruit flies to me. Do you have rotten fruit in your kitchen or your yard? Look around!

I think the second plague is frogs....
That should take care of the flys....
Ok, seriously, they’re here in Colorado too.
Indoor plants seem to be the attraction, but they are new this year.
I just swat and smash.

As a matter of fact, yes. I leave a dim lamp on in my room and I go in often and see them hanging out in the spot of light on the wall. You have to sneak up on them to smash them, as they leap away like a tick. I have no idea how they get in.
I had them last year and only seemed to get rid of them by spraying flying bug spray in the vents and window seals outside my house. It might have just coincided with the end of their season, as spraying the same areas haven’t stopped them this year. There do seen to be fewer, so I guess I’ll keep it up.

I can’t think of anything funny to write about this.
I’m slipping.

It's usually a function of temperature and humidity. They go away.

Open your doors and windows. Boil a combo of vinegar and water, they will leave pronto.

I had a problem with tiny flys but then I
stopped washing in hot water, now there’s no problem.
