Hello,

I am having a big trouble with these flies in the kitchen since last week. I have been cleaning my kitchen everyday and garbage bags are in the safe place under the sink. Everytime I throw them away , they appear again the next day.I checked of something is rotting in the kitchen but couldnot find anything . They are usually not in the window in the morning but when I come back from work in the afternoon, they have had already mobbed the window.

Is there any way I could fix this issue?

  1. Maybe one of your neighbours died and now the flies are invading your flat? Observe the ventilation, if there are some flies there 😀

  2. Check ventilation. Block it with something for 24hs and see if the next day it’s better. If you notice that it is, inform the building administration that there’s fly infestation in the air vents. Someone might have died, or you have a hoarder or an unwell/old person in the building.

  3. Yeah you should identify the reason *why* are they attracted to your flat.

    However if you want to just kill them without [jumping around like Walter White](https://youtu.be/fHPFfqZjuDU?si=QQW_7RekZd1n1xfZ&t=127) then you can try something like this:

    (unless your kitchen is a meth superlab and that would contaminate the product)

  4. Ya I got weird instinct to check my flatmates bathroom in the morning thinking if someone died, because I have not seen them since a long time.

  5. Check for the flies eggs in the place where you throw away kitchen scraps too.

  6. Either sink area, just scrub it clean and pour the mole into the pipes, or ventilation meaning a dead guy is some of the appartments with the same ventilation chimney. Both pretty common. In case of the ventilation, I’d advice to sweep the building in search for dead guy and install a fine mesh in the ventilation to block the access for the flies.

  7. I got the perfect solution for the flies problem. You need spiders. Lots of them. Thank me later.

  8. I had a similar issue, years ago, then once it started to get cool outside they disappeared.

    Mixed water, apple cider vinegar and a few drops of liquid dish soap. Put it near the window. The flies will be drawn into the vinegar, but once they land in the cup, the water+soap makes it too slick for them to get out so they drown and die
