All of a sudden I seem to have all of these tiny little flying things. They appear in the bathroom light and fly across the screen of my tv and computer monitor. Some days they are few and some days they seem to be everywhere. I’ve thrown out all the trash, the fruit, I have no plants. I have a dog and a cat but they do not seem to be hanging around their food or water. They’re making me crazy. I’ve attached photos of the little varmints. They look a little like flies but are much smaller.
Thanks,
Lynn

Hi Lynn,
You have some type of Gnat. These small relatives of flies sometimes appear in great numbers for short periods of time and then just as suddenly dissappear. Some types have larvae that feed on plant roots, others on decaying organic materials.
