does anyone know what this could be? i just started noticing them. i noticed one or two but then after i killed two i realized some were sitting up way high on the walls just staring down at me! ive never seen these kinds of flies before. they are about the size of fruit flies, but i dont think they could be fruit flies we don’t keep fruit in our apartment.

they also don’t try to shoo away and escape much and when im laying down and the lights are on one or two of them will linger and buzz around my head, it’s seriously disgusting. i also have my window wide open, two windows… the heat is turned off. im trying to freeze them out of my room but they won’t leave. i have no idea where they are coming from. my windows are on an alleyway and im on the ground floor. no food establishments around either.

i keep my bedroom very clean and the rest of the apartment is clean too. we do have two dogs but these flies are never near the dogs so they cant be fleas. plus they are dark black and much bigger than fleas.

also i dont want to get a fogger because im not sure if that is necessary yet and i dont know if that would be dangerous for the dogs.
