I don’t leave food out. Garbage gets tossed, counters are cleaned. I replaced half the windows in my home and caulked up the rest. I bought a salt gun and have been picking them off but there’s always more.

How do I figure out where these little fuckers are getting in?

    They come in through the door when you do. That’s the only thing I can figure out, I have the same problem. I’ve caught them doing it a couple of times, but of course I don’t see them every time.

    I think you’re doing everything you can to keep them out. Unless, you want to build some sort of airlock contraption. Make it with smooth, white walls, a bright light, and a fly swatter. But, the thing is, even then, a few would sneak through, and that would absolutely drive you mad after going through all that effort.

      I’m not so sure! Unless they’re laying eggs inside, there’s simply too many of them for that. My dog hates going out in this weather so it’s not like I’m even using the door that much

        Clean up the dog shit in your yard if you don’t regularly. That’s likely part of the issue. Also these fly traps work great (we have dogs and chickens).
