I've had a problem with these little black flies on and off for about the past year. They are small, about the size of drosopila/fruit flies, but seems a little too small and agile to be the same. They usually hang out around the sink. I've tried to keep the sinks dry and dish free, sprayed with soap or bleach and I've even tried to make traps out of vinegar & soapy water or honey & soapy water. Both catch all, but they never disappear completely. They are both bold and tenacious as hell. You'd think taking a swing at one would make it flee from you plate - not a chance. You almost have to thump it off your plate. I have suffered with OCD my entire life and I can tell you that my house is not mess, dirty or unfit. Yet these flies persist. I am opposed to the use of pesticides - or should I say I was opposed to the use of them. I'm almost ready to try anything to get rid of them. Can anyone help me.
As an aside, I have an aquarium in my house and I don't know if this could be a source of the problem or not. I'm way in over my head. I would hate to drain my tank and call a professional, but I'm literally at my wits end. If you think you can help me, please by all means tell me what to do. Thanks
