4. These buggers can be anywhere....

any food not refrigerated, not just fruit, the damp soil of houseplants, drains.

I had a problem with them in the drains, and what I did not think about until I watch a fly go in---the overflow holes in the bathroom sink and tub. I was putting hydrogen peroxide in the drains, but I ignored the overflows....and that is where they were. When I saw this, I got a small funnel, poured hydrogen peroxide into the holes, and the flies were gone.

So what I am saying is to be watchful and notice where they are. Watch where they go instead of just killing them when you see them. Where do you see the most of them, because that is where you will have to look....and think outside the box.
