We use something similar to this. Came in a 3 pack. Think it was $20-25. They plug into an outlet. We put one by the front door, one in hall and one in the back door which is in dining room/kitchen area. We still see a small fruit fly or gnat here and there, but if you look on the zapper, you know it’s working.

All of my victims corpses are vacuum sealed and then stored in cosmoline filled drums.

The flies are from something else.

Damn. Mic drop! We really got to hang out.

I got invaded by hundreds of tiny moth like creatures last night. They appear to be gone this morning.

We get small gnats and fruit flies, most of the time it is the house plants. I put sticky traps in each plant pot, it is really surprising how many they trap.

It looks similar to a drain fly. If you have a seldom used shower or floor drain the little fly's just arrive from the drain. Pour some Clorox into the drain and it will help get ride of them. Or use the drain more often.

This right here^^^. They are sewer gnats. They live on organic matter (food particles and so forth) that gets stuck in the drain. Bleach, vinegar, or any caustic drain cleaner that dissolves organic matter will remove their food source.

I think you'll have to wait until GC7 gets some more cosmoline filled drums made up first

My experience with the little buggers is to (if you have a garbage disposal) turn it on and run several ice cubes down the drain. The shards will help dislodge the gunk in your drain. My plumber showed me and it works!
Good luck

I use a peach pit every so often.

Ice in the winter when I can't buy peaches.
