Here’s the hard truth, my friend. You can spray, swat, and curse all you want, but if you don’t find where they’re breeding, you’re just playing whack-a-mole with wings. Go on a house safari. Check under your sink, behind the fridge, and in that one corner of the garage where you totally meant to take out the recycling.
Look for decaying organic matter. A forgotten potato in the back of the pantry? Prime real estate. A dead bird in the attic vent? Five-star hotel. Even a pet’s litter box that wasn’t scooped for a day can become a nursery. Use your nose—if it smells like a tiny morgue, you’re close.
Side note: If you see a cluster of flies acting drunk on your ceiling, that’s a bad sign. That means the source is inside your walls or attic. You might need a professional for that one. Not kidding.
