FLIES!
Occasionally, I would open the rear sliding door to let the cat play in
the yard and left the screen open. We noticed flies in the house and decided to keep the screen shut. We thought we killed all the flies but the mothers are still around and not just one or two, we are killing several every day. The little ****ers are reproducing somewhere and we can't figure out where? All garbage is out of the house, nothing is rotting, decaying or smelling. The house is kept cool, reducing the moist areas flies like to remain. Where the hell can these little *******s be coming from? |

I viewed photos online and that's not it. It's a common housefly. Thanks |

Princess ants? Yes, common housefly. Princess ants are not a species of ant. It is a caste. As a general rule, they (and male drones) are about twice the size of the corresponding wingless worker caste of the species. By all means, take a few to a professional exterminator for positive identification. If they are ants: 1) The good news is that the problem will seem to clear up quickly as time passes out of the breeding season. 2) The bad news is that your house has a mature colony hidden somewhere. Of course, if they are not ants, you must search a bit further to find out where they are breeding. A dead rodent might provide enough meat to sustain a few generations of ordinary maggots / houseflies. A small carcass might not even give off a lot of smell, because the maggots feed on the dead meat before odoriferous bacteria can. In this case, the problem should take care of itself when all that is left is hair and bones. -- http://pages.videotron.com/duffym/index.htm |
