Since my kitchen floor has two holes in it which are exposing the rotten wood and the ground some 2 ft below, which was several inches deep in water. I have been inundated with the small black flies. My fruit is currently is the 'fridge and there is no food out. My drains are bleached everyday. On that basis I have to assume that they are coming from the the rotten debris in my kitchen. Reading about them has indicated that they can, in fact be a health hazard and cause tummy upsets. I have tried fly spray, but in doesn;t really make a lot of difference. They are attracted to the windows and computer screen, but becoming more so. The holes have got a large sheet of very thick ply over but it is not secured. I expect the drying machines will arrive next week, but have been told the drying will take 3/4 weeks. They are obviously breeding like - well, flies. Any ideas on a temporary measure please.
