now this is way off anything to do with the hearth. i thought i was the only one that had these and found out when i have been in the last 6 customers houses that they have them too. they are the little flys. tiny little buggers. i think people call them fruit flys. i have been checking everything that is coming into this house and find nothing. no eggs. no bugs. i'm killing by hand about 20 a day. i think i've done 20 a day since last friday and still keep finding them. does anyone have a way to get rid of these flys? it seems like a never ending job. these thing came in this summer thru the screens. they are that small. when they are flying under a light, they seem to be brown in color.
