I call them dirt flies. Had issues with this before but usually it's during the warmer months I start having problems with these things. Depending on the spood usually I let things dry a bit. Fly paper helps. Put it near the problem area. Add springtails to enclosures to help out compete the maggots. Basically I attack all areas around the flies life cycle. You can rid yourself of these pesky things but it's not always easy. Also, I have a dedicated T room and any house spiders in the room are welcome as they can trap and devour free roaming flies. But this probably won't work for all. Lol.</p></blockquote><p></p>
