One more idea... my grandmother had quite a few hiding out in her houseplants. They seem to like the damp soil. She sprayed them all with a indoor insect spray... got rid of the spider mites and fruit flies that were hiding out there.
Hope you get rid of them... during canning season they make me CRAZY!

When I had a problem, I read that they like to breed in the kitchen sink drain where it stays moist. Pour boiling water down the drain once daily for about l week. It helped for me. Also finding that rotten apple left in front room. I couldn't smell anything-still don't know how it got there.
