    We get them quite often too, they like house plants as well, I don't have any rotting food around. I;ve had one floating around my monitor on and off for days.

    Houseplants are a common source - eggs are planted into soil - I just had to throw out one new plantpot to avoid infecting others.

    Yes, fruit flies. I used to grow mushrooms in a box kit but stopped because of the flies.
    Shame, they were cheap and delicious :o
