This is gross, so week tummies may want to avoid this.
Saturday morning, woke up and went to fix oatmeal for my grandson. Threw package in the trash, I missed the trash can and went to pick it up, moved the trash can and saw what I believed to be brown rice all over the floor. So I started throwing a fit about people in the house not cleaning up after themselves, ect. Then I noticed several flies in the window that is right behind the trash can, so I took time to kill them. then I went and got the broom and started to sweep up the "RICE", well as I was sweeping the "RICE" began to "HATCH" and to fly about my kitchen.
done barfing yet? ok, I will continue
The "RICE" was fly larva.
I sweep my kitchen daily, I mop twice a week, my kitchen is CLEAN, so don't even go there. I have been killing flies all weekend. Well over 60 on Saturday, 20+ on Sunday and so far more today. They seem to be contained in the kitchen window and patio door, same room.
I just don't know what to do. I have mopped, I have sweeped, I have vaccumed everything (Curtains, furniture, floors, under my icebox, under my washer and dryer. I've cleaned all my windows.
We am going out of town on Thursday and will be back Sunday at the earliest. I'm afraid that if I don't get this figured out before we leave my house will be over run by flies.
I have two gold tabbies. They will be staying here so I can't use chemicals that they might get into.
We had the wheels on our patio door changed about two weeks ago, I'm wondering if this began then and I just didn't see it, or if the seal around my doors aren't right and that's where they are coming in, as to trying to get out?
HELP!!!!!!
