Has anyone had a problem with these stupid insects? We don't have a clue where they are coming from, we took out the garbage. Cleaned the dirty Laundry, and took the bottles to the exchange I looked behind the fidge, stove and washer, my son didn't tuck any food behind there...I cleaned out the cupboards no rotten food, I cleaned out the fidge nothing...But we still can't get rid of them...
Someone told me a mouse or a rat could be dead somewhere in the walls but I cannot do anything about that...is there anything anyone knows that will get rid of this problem they are taking over my house!!

A lot of times they are in houseplants. Do you have any houseplants? Those pesky fruit flies will lay eggs in the loose soil. A teeny bit of soapy water usually will kill them all. Of course, once you have them, they lay eggs in all your houseplants...so you have to spritz them all with some organically safe soapy water. Hope that helps. If you don't have houseplants, then I am stumped.
