Question

they keep coming!!!! i want to know the name of that specie... its really small and can fly and there always seems to be a whole lot of them. Most to be found when having remains of food or fruits around

Answer 1

Fruit flies?? I don't know what they are called but I do know an easy way to get rid of them using apple cider vinegar and dish liquid. In case that is your goal: Fill a shallow bowl with an inch or 2 of apple cider vinegar. Add a drop or two of dish detergent. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Make very small holes in the wrap for them to crawl through. The sweet smell attracts them. The detergent does something with the surface tension and they fall in the liquid. The plastic wrap keeps them in until they fall through the surface tension.
